The Offshore West Africa Conference & Exhibition remains the leading source of information on new technology and operating expertise for this growing deepwater and subsea market.
Offshore annual capital expenditure is expected to reach $120 billion by 2010, with West Africa leading the way, according to energy analysts Douglas- Westwood. West Africa offshore spending is forecast to reach nearly $13 billion in five years. At the same time, operational spending is should grow to 53 per cent to $127 billion, again with West Africa as a major contributor.
Reflecting the increasing West Africa offshore activity, the Offshore West Africa conference has grown accordingly. OWA 2007 is expected to attract over 1,500 attendees and 100 exhibitors from the energy centers of Nigeria, Angola, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, the UK, UAE, the USA, France, Italy, Norway, The Netherlands, Niger, Russia, Australia, and Asia.
The Offshore West Africa technical sessions are presented in three concurrent technical tracks, with each presentation followed by a question- and-answer period.
