Welcome to the August edition of The Surge.

The Africa Energies Summit brings together Africa’s energy industry for a unique event, shaped for companies active in the region.

It's Throw Back Thursday, as we reflect on an outstanding night of celebration at the 29th Big Five Board Awards earlier this year, supported by Eni.

Africa's path to clean prosperity isn't about choosing between fossil fuels OR renewables - it's about strategic energy addition that ensures economic growth while reducing environmental impact.

Everyone you want to talk to is present, the event itself is excellent and the after events are always first class.

We live and breathe African upstream and we make it our business to have a finger on the pulse of all industry developments.
