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,

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.
