Our Partners
Welcome to the Eurasia Africa Energy Summit
EAES 2026 represents a decade-long journey of pioneering efforts in the energy sector.
Our origins are deeply rooted in the African Well Engineering Forum (AWEF) in Ghana.
Our Journey and Inspiration
Founded on the principles of fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration in the energy sector, the EAES is a culmination of our extensive experience and a clear understanding what is required to shape the future of oil, gas and energy in Central Asia. Since the launch of ROGTEC Magazine in 2002 and hosting upstream technology conferences across Russia, Kazakhstan, and Africa since 2012, we have developed a profound understanding of the market dynamics and technological innovations in the energy sector.
“Having attended the KDR Well Engineering Forum a number of times since its launch in 2015 I have found it to be very insightful, especially noting the platforms evolution in a rapidly changing energy landscape. The technical sessions effectively address current industry challenges, offering excellent networking opportunities across the oil and gas value chain. My journey at Eni has included senior positions as both EVP of Central Asia and Director of Upstream for Sub Sahara Africa, giving me a deep understanding of both of these important energy producing regions. This is why I am looking forward to the new initiative from the organisers – the Inaugural Eurasia Africa Energy Summit that will be co located with KDR 2024 in Astana. It will be a unique opportunity to network with energy leaders, and forge new partnerships as we all strive for a sustainable energy future.

“We are honored to host this unique event in partnership with JSC NC KazMunayGas, KMG Engineering, and the Republic of Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy. Kazakhstan has emerged as a symbol of openness and economic opportunity, truly the beating heart of Central Asia. On the African front, the African Energy Chamber, led by the indefatigable NJ Ayuk and his team, ensures that Africa’s voice is not just heard but resonates powerfully around the world. Their participation and partnership guarantees comprehensive representation of the African energy sector”
Paul Seed
CEO, EAES Organising Committee
Bridging the Gap
Throughout our journey, a critical observation was the conspicuous absence of dialogue between Central Asia and Africa, despite their status as leading oil and gas producers. This gap, especially stark against the backdrop of current geopolitical instability in Russia, Ukraine and latterly the Middle East, highlighted an urgent need for a platform facilitating partnerships and alliances.
The Eurasian African Energy Summit Vision
EAES is more than an event; it is a bilateral forum designed to bridge this gap, uniting key stakeholders from these dynamic regions. Our mission is ambitious yet attainable: fostering cross-border collaboration through knowledge sharing, technology transfer, and harmonizing approaches on critical issues like promoting local content and ensuring a just energy transition.
“>Our Partners and Host
Proudly partnering with JSC NC KazMunayGas, KMG Engineering, and the Republic of Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Energy, we honor Kazakhstan’s role as a symbol of openness and economic opportunity. Similarly, our collaboration with the African Energy Chamber, under the leadership of NJ Ayuk, ensures a comprehensive African representation, bringing powerful and diverse voices to the forefront.
Our Vision for the Future
As we embark on this journey, the EAES stands as more than a convergence point for industry leaders and experts; it represents a collaborative vision for the future, spotlighting paths to shared prosperity and sustainable energy solutions.
We eagerly anticipate engaging with each of you, learning from your insights, and collectively shaping the future of our industry.
Join us in this landmark endeavor, as we illuminate the path to a collaborative and sustainable energy future.
