Geopolitical tensions, volatility, and the upcoming IMO 2020 environmental regulations for marine fuels are impacting global oil prices and helping to reposition the West African crude oil market in the global map. As African economies grow, so will their appetite for fuels and investment in the downstream and refining sector. As these changes approach, we examine the impact on key oil markets around the world, including a special focus on the West African crude and products sectors.
While assessing the increasing pressure that the OPEC+ agreement brings, we'll provide updates on the evolution of our key benchmarks and focus on domestic West African benchmarks, including current market challenges and opportunities.
Join us to hear the latest updates on the Africa energy markets. This is a great opportunity to keep up-to-date with the changing dynamics of the industry, and connect with peers within the sector.
