From Asia to the US, via India, Turkey, Qatar, Spain and Portugal, Nigeria’s drive for international energy partnerships is limitless. NOG Conference & Exhibition taking place 4 – 7 July 2022 in Abuja, is Nigeria’s foremost energy conference and will review Nigeria’s positioning within the evolving global energy landscape, with a focus on funding and emerging opportunities to transform her energy industry.
This has become imperative as the world tiptoes the fragile tightrope of the ‘new different’ reality in the global energy system, Africa, and in particular, her largest economy, Nigeria, has been hit hard but is also at a crossroads of immense potential. Since the inception of the Ukraine crisis, the global economy has been significantly disrupted, leading to surging inflation and a potential food crisis – especially in emerging economies like Nigeria. While global markets have witnessed a surge in oil prices of over $100 per barrel, Nigeria’s oil and gas sector has been unable to boost its reserves – in fact, this loss has been compounded by low oil production hovering at around 1.2 million bpd.
Aligning with this position, the theme for the twenty-first edition of the NOG Conference & Exhibition is “Funding The Nigerian Energy Mix For Sustainable Economic Growth” will focus on the strategies that will be employed by the Nigerian government and private sector leaders
to navigate the emerging energy business environment – helping to set the nation’s energy agenda for the next 12 months.
One of the key opportunities for Nigeria within this dynamic is to expand its gas supply and energy cooperation with the world. The EU, which gets a substantial percentage of its oil and gas from Russia, is seeking alternative sources of energy. With Nigeria already supplying
France, Portugal, Spain and Belgium, it is on the radar to also supply other EU nations, particularly as the country is currently working to grow its gas reserves from 206 trillion cubic feet to 600 trillion cubic feet.
However, to be in a position to be able to fully meet the EU’s demand, Nigeria needs to develop its infrastructure and increase investment. This is at the core of the various discussion and debates that will be happening at the NOG Conference & Exhibition. Dignitaries participating include H.E. Timipre Sylva Minister of Petroleum Resources, H.E. Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Minister of Industry, Trade & Investment and H.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo, Secretary-General, OPEC.
