The Equatorial Guinea oil and gas licensing round lands in London on June 21, 2016 for the Africa Assembly, hosted by the Oil & Gas Council. Key officials of the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Energy (MMIE), including H.E. the Minister Gabriel Mbaga Obiang Lima, Minister of Mines Industry, will be present at the two-day conference to promote the bidding round, dubbed EG Ronda 2016. The Minister will also participate in a panel session to discuss major projects in Equatorial Guinea, including Fortuna FLNG.
