Winston & Strawn Sponsors Oil & Gas Council’s 2019 Africa Assembly
June 25, 2019
Winston & Strawn is a proud sponsor of Oil & Gas Council’s 2019 Africa Assembly on June 24 - 25 in Paris. Recognized as the region’s most influential corporate development, strategy, finance, and investment gathering, the Africa Assembly brings together the African energy industry community with the financiers and investors backing innovative projects across the continent. Winston attorneys Zoe Ashcroft, Chris Shelton, and Stewart Worthy will all be in attendance.
On June 25, Winston will moderate the panel discussion “Gas-to-Power Potential: Exploring the Future of Natural Gas and LNG on the Continent; Key Projects, Updates, and Next Steps.”
Topics will include:
- Political risk: exploring the challenges presented by a politicized utility and how players can work together to overcome them
- Investing in infrastructure: highlighting how investing in the bigger picture, as well as maximizing readily available infrastructure, can be the most cost-effective strategy in the long term
- Promoting regional collaboration and intra-regional trade: what are the competitive advantages of importing gas from neighboring countries rather than importing from the global market?
- Storage as a competitor: with storage technology developing, how could this affect the attractiveness of gas projects? Will this affect decision-making around balancing a country’s energy mix?
Panelists will include:
- Austin Avuru, Chief Executive Officer, Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc
- Giuseppe Sachero, Sales and Business Development Executive. Director – Gas to Power LNG, Siemens
- Julius Svoboda, Foreign Service Officer, Power Africa, US AID
