About the Book

Concordo com os pontos defendidos―e com o caso que Ayuk defende sobre o papel crítico que a OPEP desempenhará para ajudar os produtos petrolíferos africanos a alcançar a voz que merecem na indústria petrolífera."
--Secretário-Geral da OPEP, S. Exᵃ. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo

Duas décadas de negociação de acordos de petróleo e gás africanos deram a NJ Ayuk um conhecimento da paisagem energética do continente que poucos conseguem igualar. O advogado africano especialista em energia, educado nos Estados Unidos, serve doses generosas desse conhecimento no seu segundo livro, Biliões em Jogo: O Futuro da Energia e dos Negócios em África.

Servindo como um roteiro para que o continente faça uma melhor utilização dos seus vastos recursos energéticos para melhorar a vida das suas populações, Ayuk aborda a forma como os países africanos podem utilizar as suas indústrias energéticas como catalisadores para diversificar e fazer crescer as suas economias globais.

Para além disso, Ayuk mostra como os governos africanos e as empresas locais podem negociar melhores acordos com empresas internacionais de energia e como os países do continente podem utilizar campos marginais de petróleo e gás para desenvolver indústrias energéticas domésticas que, uma vez fortes, irão competir a nível global.

Perguntas colocadas e respondidas:

  • Porque é que os novos recursos de gás natural de África podem permitir que o continente se eleve como um ator-chave global na industria
  • O que é que os países africanos podem fazer para se tornarem destinos de investimento atrativos
  • O papel que o acesso à energia fiável, sustentável e acessível pode desempenhar na aceleração do crescimento económico
  • Como e porque é que as empresas energéticas americanas devem parar de reduzir os seus investimentos em África
  • E porque é que a indústria energética do continente precisa de mais mulheres

O tema subjacente do livro é que, demasiadas vezes, os recursos naturais criam riqueza para investidores estrangeiros e para um grupo seleto de elites africanas, enquanto as pessoas comuns (e, por sua vez, as economias africanas) não conseguem beneficiar.

Embora seja fácil ver que existe uma falta de participação local em projetos africanos e um desafio permanente para assegurar o investimento necessário, também precisamos de compreender o nosso papel neste contexto. Temos de compreender a importância de criar ambientes favoráveis com condições fiscais atrativas para investidores locais e estrangeiros, o papel de políticas de conteúdo local mais fortes para assegurar uma maior participação local no sector, e o peso que o governo e a incerteza política têm no sucesso ou insucesso dos projetos.

Cabe aos Africanos encontrar soluções para África, escreve Ayuk. Esta declaração pode ser considerada um tema vivo em todo o livro, uma vez que ele encoraja a que as empresas e governos locais tenham de celebrar acordos de colaboração em vez de compromissos passivos com empresas petrolíferas internacionais e com os principais atores da indústria. [Precisamos] de investidores que mostrem que querem participar plenamente connosco, entrando e construindo empresas sustentáveis a longo prazo que durem e tenham lucro, criem empregos e desenvolvimento futuro."

Se estiver pronto a mergulhar de cabeça no acesso a uma análise franca do panorama do sector energético africano e de como os africanos podem começar a solucionar os desafios de África, entregue-se às páginas de Biliões em Jogo.

ENGLISH VERSION

"I agree with the points made--and with Ayuk's case for the critical role that OPEC will play in helping African oil products achieve a much-deserved voice in the petroleum industry."
--OPEC Secretary-General, H.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo

Two decades of negotiating African oil and gas deals have given NJ Ayuk a grasp of the continent's energy landscape that few can match. The American-educated, African energy lawyer serves up generous doses of that insight in his second book, Billions at Play: The Future of Africa Energy and Doing Deals.

Serving as a road map for the continent to do a better job of using its vast energy resources to improve its peoples' lives, Ayuk addresses how African countries can use their energy industries as springboards for diversifying and growing their overall economies.

In addition, Ayuk shows how African governments and local companies can negotiate better deals with international energy companies and how the continent's countries can use marginal oil and gas fields to develop domestic energy industries that, once strong, will compete globally.

Questions posed and answered:

  • Why Africa's fledgling natural gas resources can allow the continent to emerge as a key global player in the industry
  • What changes African countries can make in order to become attractive investment destinations
  • The role that access to reliable, sustainable, and affordable power can play in the acceleration of economic growth
  • Why and how American energy companies should stop curtailing their investments in Africa
  • And why the continent's energy industry needs more women

The book's underlying theme is that too often, natural resources create wealth for foreign investors and a select group of African elites while everyday people (and in turn, African economies) fail to benefit.

While it is easy to see that there is a lack of local participation in African projects and an ongoing challenge in securing necessary investment, we also need to understand our role in this. We have to understand the importance of creating enabling environments with attractive fiscal terms for local and foreign investors, the role of stronger local content policies in ensuring more local participation in the sector, and the weight government and political uncertainty carries in moving projects forward.

"It's up to Africans to fix Africa," writes Ayuk. This statement can be considered a living theme throughout the book as he encourages that local companies and governments have to enter into collaborative agreements rather than passive engagements with IOCs and majors. "[We need] investors who show that they want to fully participate with us, by coming in and building long-term sustainable businesses that last and make a profit, create jobs and further development."

If you're ready to dive headfirst into accessing a frank analysis and examination of the African energy landscape and how Africans can begin to fix Africa, jump into the pages of Billions at Play.
