The waters off the West Coast of Africa are the fastest growing oil and gas exploration and production area in the world. Companies annually spend US$ 10 Billion on exploration and production of oil and gas in the area. This has presented the Western Cape companies with various opportunities in oil and gas services and supplies business.
The Western Cape government is aware of these opportunities and will tomorrow (Tuesday) launch an initiative aimed at maximising these opportunities for the benefit of the Province. All media are invited to a media conference to announce and launch the initiative.
