Mona Al Adawy is, without a doubt, one of the most successful energy entrepreneurs in Africa. She founded GeoEnergy Petroleum Services in Egypt 20 years ago, with a focus on providing digital transformation solutions and services to oil and gas exploration companies.
The company has since grown to become one of the leading companies in the Middle East and Africa. GeoEnergy Petroleum Services now offers data management solutions for the oil and gas industry in Africa and the Middle East.
In 2020, GeoEnergy Petroleum Services was awarded the biggest digital transformation project by the Egyptian government in partnership with Schlumberger.
In recognition of her contributions to the energy sector, Mona was awarded the African Women Innovations and Entrepreneurship Forum Award last year. Mona is also an IFC Nominee Director & Advisory Committee Member and a certified corporate director from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the World Bank.

Dealing with clients’ requests with a high level of skill is one of the keys to building a strong reputation. To reach our goals, we must keep moving forward and walk with determination.
Clear vision:
The Geo Energy team consistently communicates our vision of growth. All the teams work together towards this common goal, functioning as one big family and a unified team to achieve success in every project implemented by Geo Energy.
Great reputation:
Our reputation is well-established, primarily because we handle critical data, which is the most valuable asset for petroleum companies. The cornerstone of our reputation lies in the trust our clients place in Geo Energy. Our employees are honest with clients, providing the right and most affordable solutions for them. The factors that attract clients to work with Geo Energy include confidentiality, trust, valuable advice, and a commitment to delivering honest solutions.
