Geologist Tako Koning presented a Friday debate on the theme of "Angola's oil economy, past, present & future". He is a Canadian, Angola-based petroleum geologist and consultant. The presentation included a history of the Angola economy, the advantages and disadvantages of a petro-economy, geology basics, major oil discoveries in the country and insight into the country's current and future levels of oil exploration.

• Oil revenue is highlyOil revenue is highly
inflationary (Angola isinflationary (Angola is
expensive….like Norway!!!)expensive….like Norway!!!)
8. Angola Petro-Economy
Problem:
• An oil company can announce that they
are investing $10 billion in an oil project in
Angola but 90% of the money is spent
outside (drill rigs in Korea, tankers in
Japan, drill pipe made in USA, etc etc
• For that reason it is very important for the
government to foster industries in Angola
like rigs fabrication, pipe welding facilities
like Angloflex since it employs Angolans
and is technology transfer
