Event programme & key speakersA record 1,200 submissions from 48

countries worldwide were received for the

Technical Programme of the 18th World

Petroleum Congress - almost double the

number of abstracts received at previous

Congresses. The Congress Programme

Committee, together with the appointed

Chairs and Vice Chairs of the Forum

sessions, had the difficult task of selecting

the best of the proposed presentations for

the 24 Forums at the 18th WPC. The results

have now been announced and a full list

of the sessions and speakers is available

online at www.18wpc.com.

The 18th WPC has already attracted a wealth

of outstanding industry representatives and

decision makers as key speakers. These

include the presenter of the Dewhurst

Lecture, Lord Browne of Madingley, Group

Chief Executive, BP plc, UK, as well as the

Energy Ministers and CEOs of the national

oil companies of the host country South

Africa, and co-host countries, Algeria,

Angola, Libya and Nigeria. Other ministers

at the Congress include the energy and

petroleum ministers from Saudi Arabia,

Qatar and Venezuela.

From the industry the Congress has already

managed to confirm the participation of the

Presidents and Chairmen of ChevronTexaco

Global Gas, Exxon Mobil, Fluor Corporation,

Hydro, Total, PdVSA, Petronas, Repsol and

the Royal Dutch / Shell Group.

International organisations are equally well

represented, with senior leaders from AAPG,

IEA, IGU, IPIECA, ISO, OGP, OPEC, SPE,

SEC, UN and World Bank all attending.

The Plenary Sessions on the morning of

each day of the Congress will focus on:

• The African Perspective

• The Global Oil Perspective

• Partners for Sustainability

• Natural Gas in the Global

Energy Picture

• Renewables: a Significant Part

of the Solution?

• Corporate Governance - Factors

that Influence the Image of the Industry

• Oil and Gas - Sustainability of Supply

In order to give a broad coverage to the

issues affecting the global petroleum

industry, the Congress Programme

Committee has also extended the number

of Roundtables and Special Sessions to

nearly twenty. They range in subject from

Advances in Upstream Technology and

HIV/AIDS, to Climate Change Initiatives and

Active in more than 20 countries and on six

continents, Sasol is a recognised global

player in the chemicals and fuels industry,

and a proud Gold Sponsor of the 18th World

Petroleum Congress.

With South African roots dating back to

1950, Sasol continues to grow in stature

as a major regional player in southern

Africa, and increasingly as an international

competitor in focused areas of fuel and

chemical production and marketing. The

company has focused much of its capital

expenditure programme in South Africa,

Mozambique and Nigeria. It has also

invested substantially in Malaysia, Europe

and the USA, and is managing diverse

exploration, production, development,

marketing and sales operations in more

than 30 countries in Africa, Europe, Asia

and the Americas.

In South Africa, Sasol’s operations are

supported by mining coal and converting it

into synthetic fuels and chemicals through

proprietary Fischer-Tropsch technologies.

Sasol also has chemical manufacturing and

marketing operations in Europe, Asia and the

Americas, while its larger chemical portfolios

include polymers, solvents, olefins and

surfactants and their intermediates, waxes,

phenolics and nitrogenous products.

Sasol recently commissioned the US$1,2

billion Natural Gas Project, which transports

gas from Mozambique along an 865km

pipeline to South Africa. During the first

quarter of 2004 Sasol began to supply

Mozambican natural gas to customers and

petrochemical plants in South Africa. The

project is expected to boost Mozambique’s

gross national product significantly within

the next two years.

Meanwhile, Sasol is also developing two

gas-to-liquids (GTL) joint ventures in

Qatar and Nigeria that will incorporate the

proprietary Sasol Slurry Phase Distillate™

process. These GTL projects will turn flared

gas into premium liquid fuels.

Sasol is also actively involved in upstream

petroleum exploration in offshore

West Africa.

The group produces crude oil in offshore

Gabon, refines crude oil into liquid fuels

in South Africa, and retails liquid fuels and

lubricants through a growing network of

Sasol retail convenience centres and Exel

service stations.

Sasol’s proprietary GTL technology for

the production of new generation fuels

and chemical feedstock is fast gaining

international recognition. As the world’s

largest commercial producer of liquid fuels

from coal, much attention is also focused

on Sasol’s pioneering coal-to-liquids

technology. The company is, therefore,

delighted to welcome industry colleagues

from around the world to visit its plants and

view this technology first-hand during the

18th WPC in September.

Sasol will be presenting papers at the 4th

plenary session on 28th September on

“Natural Gas in the Global Energy Picture”

and “Gas to Liquids, a Proven Route to

Monetising Gas”.

Sasol is also the proud co-sponsor of the

prestigious Africa Night function, which will

give 5,000 guests from all over the globe a

taste of African culture and cuisine. Set in

Gold Reef City theme park, a reproduction

of Johannesburg at the turn of the 20th

century during the heyday of the gold rush,

guests will be lavished with a smorgasbord

of Africa’s favourite traditional dishes

and street entertainment. This not-to-be

forgotten spring evening will culminate in a

spectacular concert and fireworks display

that will light up the Johannesburg skyline!

Stanley Subramoney

PricewaterhouseCoopers employs approx-

imately 5,800 people operating in 31

countries across Africa and is the official

Auditor & Business Advisor for the 18th

World Petroleum Congress. Providing

industry-focused assurance, tax and

advisory services for public and private

clients, the organisation understands the

unique challenges of operating in Africa

and believes in empowering people as

well as entire communities. As far as social

responsibility is concerned, its primary

focus is on education and business skills

development, enabling job creation. It is

fitting then, that the company’s Southern

African Deputy CEO, Stanley Subramoney,

is one of South Africa’s foremost advisers

on empowerment initiatives and intra-

Africa trade, and a member of the Nepad

Business Group. Nepad (New Partnership

for Africa’s Development) arises from a

mandate given to the five initiating Heads of

State (Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal and

South Africa) by the Organisation of African

Unity (OAU) to develop an integrated

socio-economic development framework

for Africa to address its current challenges,

including poverty, underdevelopment and

continued marginalisation.

What does the World Petroleum Congress

mean for South Africa and Africa?

We are delighted that South Africa has been

nominated to co-host this prestigious event

on the global calendar. The staging of the

event on the African continent for the first

time demonstrates the importance of Africa

in the global oil and gas market. There

have been major finds on the west coast of

Africa and speculation is that there could be

significant finds on the east coast as well,

from Sudan through the Rift Valley and all the

way down to Madagascar. Geographically,

this means that the northern part of Africa

will supply Europe, and the western part will

supply North America. The eastern part will

supply the energy hungry and ever growing

markets of India and China.

How do you assess the importance of

social responsibility?

PricewaterhouseCoopers has long

believed that we have a responsibility

to play a meaningful role when it comes

to sustainability. Our primary purpose

is to build trust and enhance value for

our clients and stakeholders, while

setting high standards for the conduct of

business and leading our profession. For

us, corporate social responsibility is not a

process, nor a series of related or discrete

initiatives: it is more an ethos or way of

approaching business, therefore our social

responsibility is inextricably linked to our

values, our business, our strategy and

our performance.

What is your company’s role in Africa

right now?

Our role is to serve our clients in a seamless

and co-ordinated fashion through our strong

footprint across Africa, bringing innovative

solutions to complex business problems,

while assisting in dealing with the vast

social and economic challenges facing

the continent.

How do you see Africa’s future?

Future successes will be those countries

who have benefited from democratisation,

devolving market-oriented economies and

trade relations with neighbouring states.

Africa can be a continent of well-managed

economies, in which stable exchange rates,

single-digit inflation and real interest rates of

below 10% will make for strong investment

growth, improved technological literacy and

a growing middle class.

Why did your company decide to become

a sponsor of the 18th WPC?

As PricewaterhouseCoopers is the largest

professional services firm in the world, as

well as a dominant player in the energy and

utilities market, we felt that it was important

to be associated with this Congress,

particularly as it is a first for Africa and South

Africa. We wanted to use the opportunity

to showcase our global network, and to

provide our clients with a unique experience

through our business centre.

Tell us about PricewaterhouseCoopers’

business centre.

Used effectively at World Economic Forum

meetings globally and the World Summit

on Sustainable Development held in

South Africa, the PricewaterhouseCoopers

Knowledge Concierge is an executive

Internet business centre manned

by PricewaterhouseCoopers practitioners

specialising in the petroleum industry.

Here, invited delegates will be able to

obtain information on the 18th WPC,

as well as enjoying unlimited access to

relevant PricewaterhouseCoopers specific

information, for example, petroleum related

brochures, presentations, white papers,

thought leadership pieces and our energy

practitioner contact details. The Knowledge

Concierge will be located on the 2nd level of

the Sandton Convention Centre.

Do you have anything else planned

around the 18th WPC?

On Wednesday 28th September we will

hold a CEO dinner at the Westcliff Hotel, at

which we will host the Chief Executives of

the top petroleum companies from around

the world.

It is fitting that this year’s World Petroleum

Congress, the 18th WPC, is being held in

Africa as the continent’s influence on the

world’s energy industry has never been

greater. And that influence is set to grow as

consumers increasingly pin their hopes on

Africa as a stable source of energy.

At the tip of the continent, South Africa is an

important energy market and a major coal

producer and exporter at a global level,

having had a decisive influence on the

development of synthetic fuel technologies.

Algeria, Angola, Libya and Nigeria are

already major energy suppliers in world

terms, with giant proven oil and natural

gas resources. Algeria is the front-runner

in North Africa’s burgeoning gas industry

with exports at just over 60bn cm/y,

but could reach 85bn cm/y by 2010 by

expanding the two existing gas pipelines to

Europe and adding new pipeline and LNG

production capacity. Egypt and Libya have

expansion plans of their own in the gas-

export business.

The presence of the world’s biggest

oil companies in Angola’s offshore

sector reflects the high project costs

associated with deep-water exploration and

development (E&D) – and the prodigious

returns available. Production is set to rise to

over 2m b/d by 2008, with some 1.5m b/d

flowing from deep-water developments.

Libya’s renaissance as a world oil power is

under way as it throws open its economy to

foreign investment amid rapidly improving

political relations with the west. NOC

says production – slightly over 1.6m b/d

– could reach 2m-3m boe/d by 2010. Oil

development in Nigeria, the continent’s

leading producer and second only to Libya

in terms of reserves, is constrained by its

OPEC commitments. Output is still well

over 2m b/d, however, and there is massive

potential for further development. Much

of the country’s estimated 30bn barrels of

reserves lie in relatively simple geological

structures along the coastal Niger River

Delta, while newer fields are being

uncovered in attractive deep-water areas.

In addition, Nigeria has a world-class LNG

export industry and plans to develop new

export projects.

Meanwhile, new energy powers such

as Egypt and Equatorial Guinea are

experiencing rapid growth, and hotspots

such as Mauritania are emerging as

exploration pushes into new frontiers. E&D

work in highly desirable acreage offshore

São Tomé e Príncipe is not far off, and

exploration continues to test new areas

such as Kenya and Sierra Leone.

Badly needed infrastructure is also

materialising, with initiatives to improve

electricity networks, gasify economies, and

overhaul and modernise refineries. The 2003

completion of the ambitious $3.7bn, 1,070-

km Chad-Cameroon oil pipeline showed

that even the largest, most technically and

environmentally complex projects can be

undertaken and funded (the project could

transform the economic fortunes of Chad,

one of the continent’s poorest countries).

Similarly, the West African Gas Pipeline

has been approved, despite political

and commercial impediments. Carrying

Nigerian gas 680 km to Benin, Togo and

Ghana, it is seen as the cornerstone of a

regional gas market and is expected to

catalyse regional integration.

African companies are also undergoing

rapid and extensive change. As energy

projects multiply, the continent’s ability

to supply its own equipment, technology

and services is growing fast. While Algeria

and Nigeria may dominate Africa’s LNG

industry, new projects in other countries

look possible. Marathon has started site

work for a complex in Equatorial Guinea,

there is talk of an LNG-production facility for

Mauritania, and discussions for an Angolan

terminal are continuing.

Due to its inaugural geographical location,

the 18th WPC may be the launch pad for

closer co-operation among African nations,

which will enhance the continent’s power as

a trading bloc at a time when demand for

energy exports has never been higher.

Destination: South Africa

ShoppingDue to the positive exchange rate shopping

is a must, and diamonds and gold jewellery

should be at the top of everyone’s list.

Locally produced and crafted pieces ensure

both exclusivity and favourable prices, while

quality is always of the highest standard.

Chain and boutique jewellery stores are to be

found in Johannesburg’s elegant shopping

centres, as are most international labels.

• Sandton City is considered to be the

most prestigious mall in Africa and

equals the best in the Northern

Hemisphere for size, variety and quality.

• Nearby Hyde Park Mall is smaller and

highly exclusive.

• The Mall of Rosebank offers a more

intimate yet cosmopolitan atmosphere.

• African arts and crafts (animal statuettes,

beaded jewelry, fabrics and art works)

make fabulous gifts and mementos and

are widely available from street traders

and craft markets, such as the African

Craft Market (at The Mall at Rosebank).

MuseumsMuseumAfrica: offering seven permanent

displays that instantly transport you into a

1950’s shebeen (an illegal drinking tavern),

down the depths of a mine shaft or into the

thick of the Rivonia treason trial that sent

Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and six

others to life imprisonment, MuseumAfrica

will show you the very soul of Gauteng.

Apartheid Museum: this extraordinarily

powerful historical vehicle utilises large

blown-up photographs, artifacts, newspaper

clippings, and some extraordinary film

footage to graphically animate the apartheid

story. The multimedia displays are not static

- there is a recording studio in which visitors

can leave their experiences under apartheid

for others to hear.

Planning your trip

Must have / must do / must see

To make your registration process and the necessary arrangements as a delegate or accompanying person at the 18th WPC as quick and easy as possible, we have made all the details available on our website at www.18wpc.com. Be sure to visit us there for ALL your Congress information.

Johannesburg is located in the smallest yet richest of South Africa’s provinces, Gauteng, a Sotho word meaning “Place of Gold”, while the suburb of Sandton, in which the Sandton Convention Centre is situated, is known as the richest square mile in Africa. Ensure that you make enough time to enjoy all that Gauteng has to offer, because there is so much to do and see.

AccommodationThe centrally located Sandton Convention

Centre (SCC), at which the 18th WPC is

taking place, is situated in the heart of the

new and attractive business, entertainment,

shopping and hotel district, making it

perfect for both business and pleasure.

The SCC itself is surrounded by a number

of hotels – ranging from comfortable to

luxurious – many of which are within safe

walking distance.

A full list of hotels within the immediate

and surrounding areas, together with their

distance from the SCC, is available on our

website. To ensure your preferred choice of

hotel, please ensure that you book as far in

advance as possible.

N.B. Accommodation cannot be

booked until your registration has been

completed in full.

TravelShould delegates be staying outside of

Sandton in the nearby cosmopolitan suburb

of Rosebank, or any of the other attractive,

leafy suburbs adjacent to Sandton, regular

transport between official 18th WPC hotels

and the SCC will be made available.

To get the most out of your trip to South

Africa, plan your schedule well in advance

and book early. Go to www.18wpc.com,

click the “Plan Your Visit” button and then

“Accommodation and Transport”.

Art GalleriesJohannesburg Art Gallery: this is the

biggest gallery in the sub-continent and

home to some of the most prized works not

just in the country, but also in the world. The

Gallery is a national monument housed in a

three-storey building boasting 15 exhibition

halls and various sculpture gardens. The

collection includes an impressive 17th

century Dutch collection, 19th century

British and European art, and contemporary

South African and international art. Some

of the pre-eminent artists on the Gallery’s

collection list are Pablo Picasso, Camille

Pissarro, Claude Monet, and Edgar Degas.

There are a number of respected retail art

galleries from which you can purchase

original pieces of African art works in various

mediums as treasured souvenirs. These

include the Kim Sachs Gallery (Rosebank),

Everard Read Gallery (Rosebank), Gallery

on the Square (Nelson Mandela Square,

Sandton), and Hyde Park Gallery & Frame

(Hyde Park Mall).

Historical SitesThe Constitutional Court of South

Africa: this elegant building is

Johannesburg’s newest historical landmark

and a breathtaking architectural memento

to the country’s hard-won freedom. It is

constructed on the 100-acre site which

previously housed Johannesburg’s most

restricted and hated buildings, including

The Fort, the former men’s “native prison”,

and the women’s prison. Today it houses

200 eclectic and colourful art works which

look stunning in the grand scale building,

where the combination of light and space,

spectacular mosaics and striking symbolism

are unforgettable.

ToursRand Lords’ Mansions: these early

pioneers’ impressive mansions and gardens

are a legacy of the men who built the City of

Gold and their wives who wove the fabric of

the society of that unique era.

Soweto: this township’s rich political

history in its struggle against apartheid has

guaranteed it a place on the world map.

A tour through this massive, sprawling

township will take you to the Chris Hani

Baragwanath Hospital, the largest in the

world; the Mandela residence prior to his

imprisonment in 1964; the Hector Petersen

memorial (the first victim of the 1976 riots);

a visit to a shebeen to enjoy a drink in an

African tavern and listen to the sounds of

township music; and/or Vilakazi Street, the

only street in the world to house two Nobel

Peace Prize winners. Lunch is also offered

as an extra.

Day Trips Lesedi Cultural Village: venture slightly

north of Johannesburg to experience

traditional villages of the Zulu, Ndebele,

Sotho, Pedi and Xhosa tribes, and learn

about their lifestyle and traditions. Watch the

beautiful Lesedi dancers as they weave their

magic, then indulge in a traditional African

feast of dishes from around the continent.

The Cradle of Humankind: a 45 minute

drive west from Johannesburg is where

several of the world’s most famous and

important fossils have been discovered,

including Mrs. Ples, dating back 2.5-million

years, and Little Foot, an almost complete

ape-man skeleton between 3 and 3.5-million

years old. At a depth of 40 metres is a

perfectly calm underground lake, which the

local African tribes believe has medicinal

properties. Guided tours are available.

Cullinan Village: here the Cullinan

Diamond, the world’s biggest diamond

of 3106ct, was mined. A 4-5 hour tour

includes a visit down the mine shaft and the

opportunity to buy your very own – although

somewhat smaller – Cullinan diamond. The

timeless Edwardian village itself still boasts

clusters of original stone miner’s cottages,

a turn-of-the-century railway station and

authentic buildings flanking the Jacaranda

and Oak tree lined avenue.

Sun City: if glitz and sparkle of a different

nature is more your style, then just two hours

north of Johannesburg, in the middle of an

extended savannah, lies the Las Vegas of

southern Africa – Sun City. Synonymous

with lavish hotels, beautifully laid-out water

gardens, excellent golf courses, unusual

gambling halls, exclusive casinos and

first-class entertainment shows, the latest

jewel in the chain of casino complexes is

The Palace of the Lost City. Planned in the

style of a sunken, legendary African town,

The Palace lavishes its guests with 5-star

service, and is luxurious in every facet of its

fabulous architecture and décor.
