The Surge, Frontier Energy Network’s Monthly Newsletter
Welcome to the December edition of The Surge – designed to keep you connected with all that’s happening within the Frontier Energy Network.
Exclusive Members' Event | North Africa & East Med Reception
Following hot on the heels of our North America Members’ Reception in Houston, TX, Frontier was in Windhoek earlier this month, where we hosted our first Members Event on African soil, in conjunction with our Frontier Regional Leader, Shakwa Nyambe and our Co-Host SNC Incorporated.
Namibia is one of the hottest of global energy hotspots and we were delighted to host the country's industry leaders, including many of our Members, for what was – as you can see – a superb evening of conversation and networking. The evening was opened by the always-inspiring Maggy Shino, Petroleum Commissioner at the Ministry of Mines and Energy – and a valued long-time friend of Frontier.
New friends were greeted as enthusiastically as old acquaintances, contacts were exchanged and as always at a Frontier event, there was plenty of conversation around the development of the global energy industry.
We have an international Members' programme of events taking place over the next 12 months world-wide. Click here to find out where you can join us.
