Moneyweb: Monetising Africa’s Gas Assets

WARREN DICK: Good afternoon, my name is Warren Dick and I’m the editor of Mineweb.com. Six of the top ten global oil and gas discoveries in 2013 were made in Africa and Africa now has proven natural gas reserves of 513 trillion cubic feet, with 91% of the annual natural gas production coming from Nigeria, Libya, Algeria and Egypt. Joining me on the podcast to discuss how it will be possible to monetise Africa’s gas sector is Malcome Logie, Technical Director for Environment and Energy at WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff Africa. Good to have you with us Malcolme.

MALCOLME LOGIE: It’s great to be here, thanks for the time.

WARREN DICK: So we’ve seen this story evolving over the last couple of years as lots of these discoveries are starting to be made in different parts of the continent. Just take us through a couple of the hot spot areas where the opportunity exists to develop this gas and oil industry.
