As the Official, Strategic Partner, the AEC Wholly Supports SSOP as the Primary Driver of East African Investment

Serving as an official and strategic partner to South Sudan Oil & Power, the African Energy Chamber supports the conference as the forefront of energy development and primary driver of international investment into South Sudan.

As the voice of the African energy sector, the African Energy Chamber (AEC), represents all facets of the African oil and gas industry, and is therefore wholly committed to supporting this year’s South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) 2023 Conference and Exhibition. As an official strategic partner to SSOP 2023, the AEC recognizes the conference’s status as a primary driver of international investment into South Sudan’s burgeoning energy sector.

With South Sudan’s Ministry of Petroleum having launched its first oil licensing round in June 2021 in an attempt to accelerate upstream activities to boost oil production to 300,000 barrels per day by this year, the East African country is looking at expanding collaboration with existing investors while creating new partnerships with other regional and foreign players to boost its oil and gas market. In this scenario, the AEC will help facilitate new dialogue and investment between South Sudan and global stakeholders.

“The Chamber is excited to play a crucial role in this tremendous and monumental event in South Sudan,” stated Executive Chairman of the AEC, NJ Ayuk, who added, “Over the past few years, South Sudan has positioned itself as a regional leader for energy development in East Africa, turning enhanced energy prospects into a reality in order to reshape its economy, transition towards energy security, and strengthen ties with its neighbors to make energy poverty in Africa history by 2030.”

Meanwhile, in an attempt to optimize the diversification of energy investment coming into South Sudan, the AEC is currently in the midst of showcasing opportunities across Africa’s burgeoning energy sector as a part of the organization’s European investment tour, which seeks to maximize energy partnerships between Africa and Europe in an attempt to drive market stability, maximize energy investments and promote socioeconomic development towards making energy poverty history in Africa by 2030.

Taking place in Juba from 14-16 June under the theme, ‘The Engine of East African Growth,’ SSOP 2023 will be held in official partnership with the country’s Ministry of Petroleum and the AEC, confirming South Sudan’s commitment towards promoting development through petroleum exploration and production while facilitating opportunities for new deals, new investments, and new relationships.
