Africa Outlook: Harnessing Africa's LNG Potential

This year is an unprecedented year in the global gas industry. The developmental challenges currently faced by the world have never before been considered with such urgency.  The resulting opportunity for our sector to take part in the efforts to address these global goals must not be missed.

Africa is a continent with extraordinary resources.

There are, however, exciting times ahead and, crucially, gas is well positioned to play a central role. The potential for shale gas, liquid natural gas (LNG), offshore discoveries and global export/import opportunities mean that the goal of providing reliable, affordable and safe energy to all Africans is becoming a reality.
