1st International Forum Somalia Oil, Gas and Mining

The rapid improvement of Somali security conditions, coupled with its ensuing political stability, has once again established the nation as an attractive investment opportunity. This is particularly true of its Oil, Gas and Mining industry. Due to Somalia's proximity to the oil rich Gulf Arab states and its geological similarity to its mineral-heavy surrounding nations, it is increasingly being described by industry experts as an untapped resource. This makes it one of the most exciting destinations for exploration and development and therefore a monumental attraction for foreign investment.
The Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources aims to liaise with investors and operators to establish a platform upon which Somalia's potential can be unlocked.

Speakers: Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Bob Sheppard
