“We are delighted to be able to return to Ghana once more for the 18 th edition of Offshore West Africa, and look forward to continuing our theme of growing attendance yearâ€�onâ€�year within this burgeoning country.
The West African offshore marketplace has grown as a whole in the last several years, with numerous large and smallâ€�scale discoveries bringing with them the greater need for new intelligence, technology, and investment, which we at PennWell believe is at the forefront of our event, Offshore West Africa, providing highly specialized, market leading information’.
Offshore West Africa Conference & Exhibition brings together national and international operators and plays an important role in the expanding market of West Africa, with Ghana, a country at the centre of recent impressive offshore discoveries and home to some of the largest offshore projects in the region, playing host once again for the 2014 event.
