SECRETARY GENERAL, AFRICAN PETROLEUM PRODUCERS' ORGANIZATION (APPO)
"By developing intra-African energy infrastructure, we can reduce costs, improve energy access, and encourage local refining and petrochemical industries."
"SEMS has therefore focussed on providing technical services that our customers may not have in-house, such as topographic and geophysical drone services, which is a great area of growth for us."
"Opportunities such as domestic gas and power supply, LNG, CNG, fertilizer plants, etc., present a huge untapped market that could sustain our presence in these regions for many years."
"Today, over 50% of our hydrocarbon production and reserves come from Africa, and we plan to allocate over 50% of our upstream CapEx here in the future."
"In 2023, we executed our first international project, which involved providing 24-hour diving services to support the installation of the first FPSO in Côte d'Ivoire."
Mexico's chemical industry faces challenges in securing a reliable feedstock supply and maintaining global competitiveness. A shift towards sustainable energy and local production could provide long-term growth opportunities, and some sectors are booming, including Mexico's dynamic chemical distribution market.
