Africa Oil Week panellists discuss opposition to oil and gas at Africa Oil Week
The processes for dealing with environmental challenges to oil and gas exploration should be speeded up, government agencies argued at Africa Oil Week in Cape Town.
Opposition to oil and gas exploration was at the forefront of discussions at Africa Oil Week in Cape Town on Tuesday, with government agencies arguing that processes should be put in place to deal with challenges faster. Environmental groups, fishers, and the Western Cape's Department of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning, had sought to persuade environment minister Creecy to set aside the environmental authorisation granted to the French giant by the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy in April.
Exploration and production must be processed faster, he said, especially environmental authorisations. He said the DMRE processed applications for exploration rights"quite efficiently" but that the process met with hindrances at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment.
