Frontier (and friends) in Egypt
Frontier have had a busy week in Cairo…
Together with our valued Corporate Patron, CGG, we hosted our North Africa & East Med Reception, earlier this week. Visit our picture gallery to see how it went.
The reception was supported by SLB as Strategic Technology Partner and we were delighted to also work with them as the exclusive Strategic Marketing & Promotions Partner to host the SLB Explore Egypt Forum, bringing the industry together to promote exploration opportunities and subsurface potential in Egypt.
Welcoming our Africa Energies Summit Strategic Partners
Connecting and collaborating are at the heart of all that we do. And we practice what we preach, believing that by working together with relevant member organisations, we are facilitating the development of the energy industry – something we’re 100% committed to at Frontier.
