"Je suis d'accord avec les points soulevés ¿ et avec l'argument d'Ayuk pour le rôle critique que l'OPEP jouera afin que les produits pétroliers africains se fasse une voix bien méritée dans l'industrie pétrolière."-Secrétaire général de l'OPEP, S.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo Deux décennies de négociation d'accords pétroliers et gaziers africains ont donné à NJ Ayuk une compréhension du paysage énergétique du continent que peu de gens peuvent égaler. L'avocat de l'énergie africain, formé aux États-Unis, fournit des doses généreuses de cette idée dans son deuxième livre, Billions at Play: The Future of Africa Energy and Doing Deals.Servant de feuille de route pour que le continent fasse un meilleur travail en utilisant ses vastes ressources énergétiques pour améliorer la vie de ses populations, Ayuk explique comment les pays africains peuvent utiliser leurs industries énergétiques comme tremplins pour diversifier et développer leur économie globale.De plus, Ayuk montre comment les gouvernements africains et les entreprises locales peuvent négocier de meilleurs accords avec les sociétés énergétiques internationales et comment les pays du continent peuvent utiliser des gisements de pétrole et de gaz marginaux pour développer des industries énergétiques nationales qui, une fois fortes, seront compétitives au niveau mondial. Questions posées et réponses: Pourquoi les nouvelles ressources de gaz naturel de l'Afrique peuvent permettre au continent de devenir un acteur mondial clé de l'industrie Quels changements les pays africains peuvent faire pour devenir des destinations d'investissement attractives Le rôle que l'accès à une énergie fiable, durable et abordable peut jouer dans l'accélération de la croissance économique Pourquoi et comment les entreprises énergétiques américaines devraient cesser de réduire leurs investissements en Afrique Et pourquoi l'industrie énergétique du continent a besoin de plus de femmes Le thème sous-jacent du livre est que trop souvent, les ressources naturelles créent de la richesse pour les investisseurs étrangers et un groupe restreint d'élites africaines alors que les gens ordinaires (et par conséquent, les économies africaines) n'en profitent pas.S'il est facile de voir qu'il y a un manque de participation locale dans les projets africains et un défi permanent pour obtenir les investissements nécessaires, nous devons également comprendre notre rôle à cet égard. Nous devons comprendre l'importance de créer des environnements favorables avec des conditions fiscales attrayantes pour les investisseurs locaux et étrangers, le rôle de politiques de contenu local plus fortes pour garantir une plus grande participation locale dans le secteur, et le poids du gouvernement et de l'incertitude politique dans l'avancement des projets."C'est aux Africains de réparer l'Afrique", écrit Ayuk. Cette déclaration peut être considérée comme un thème vivant tout au long du livre car il encourage les entreprises et les gouvernements locaux à conclure des accords de collaboration plutôt que des engagements passifs avec les CIO et les majors. "[Nous avons besoin] d'investisseurs qui montrent qu'ils veulent participer pleinement avec nous, en venant et en construisant des entreprises durables, à long terme qui durent et font des bénéfices, créent des emplois et poursuivent leur développement."Si vous êtes prêt à plonger la tête la première dans une analyse et un examen francs du paysage énergétique africain et de la manière dont les Africains peuvent commencer à réparer l'Afrique, plongez dans les pages de Billions at Play.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:"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 BarkindoTwo 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 womenThe 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.

"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. Ex¿. Mohammad Sanusi BarkindoDuas 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 mulheresO 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.

"Estoy de acuerdo con los puntos planteados y con la visión de Ayuk sobre el papel fundamental que desempeñará la OPEP para ayudar a las productores de petróleo africanos a lograr una voz muy merecida en la industria petrolera"-Secretario General de la OPEP, H.E. Mohammad Sanusi BarkindoDos décadas de negociación de transacciones de petróleo y gas han dado a NJ Ayuk un entendimiento del panorama energético en el continente que muy pocos pueden igualar. Educado en Estados Unidos, el abogado Africano en materia energética brinda dosis generosas de ese conocimiento en su segundo libro Billones en Juego: El Futuro de la Energía Africana y de Cómo Hacer Negocios.Sirviendo como guía para que el continente haga un mejor uso de sus vastos recursos energéticos a efecto de mejorar las vidas de las personas, Ayuk aborda como los países Africanos pueden utilizar sus industrias energéticas como trampolines para diversificar y crecer sus economías. Asimismo, Ayuk muestra como los gobiernos africanos y las compañías locales pueden negociar mejores tratos con compañías energéticas internacionales, y como los países del continente pueden utilizar campos marginales de petróleo y gas para desarrollar sus industrias energéticas domésticas, las cuales, una vez fortalecidas, podrán competir globalmente.Planteamientos y respuestas:Porque los incipientes recursos de gas natural de África pueden ayudar al continente a emerger como un jugador global clave en la industria Que cambios pueden hacer los países Africanos a efecto de convertirse en destinos atractivos de inversión El rol que el acceso a electricidad confiable, sustentable y asequible puede tener en la aceleración del crecimiento económico Como y porque las compañías energéticas Americanas deberían de dejar de limitar sus inversiones en África Y porque la industria energética en el continente requiere más mujeres.El tema subyacente del libro es que, en demasiadas ocasiones, los recursos naturales crean riqueza para inversionistas extranjeros y un selecto grupo de elites Africanas, mientras que el resto de la gente (y, en consecuencia, las economías Africanas) no obtienen ningún beneficio.Si bien es fácil percibir que existe una falta de participación local en proyectos en África, así como un constante reto para obtener las inversiones necesarias, es importante entender nuestro rol en esto. Debemos comprender la importancia de crear ambientes propicios con términos fiscales atractivos para inversionistas locales y extranjeros, el rol de políticas de contenido local más solidas a efecto de asegurar participación local en el sector, y el peso que el gobierno y la inestabilidad política tienen en el desarrollo de los proyectos."Depende de los Africanos arreglar África," escribe Ayuk. Este enunciado puede considerarse como un tema vivo en el libro, ya que promueve que compañías locales y gobiernos celebren convenios de colaboración en lugar de compromisos pasivos con compañías energéticas internacionales y los grandes jugadores del sector. "[Necesitamos] inversionistas que muestren interés en participar completamente con nosotros, entrando al mercado y construyendo negocios sustentables y rentables de largo plazo, creando empleos y desarrollo adicional."Si estas listo para sumergirte a profundidad y acceder a un franco análisis y examen del panorama energético en África y como los Africanos pueden comenzar a arreglar África, adéntrate a las páginas de Billones en Juego.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.
