The 43rd NAPE conference comes as the professional body turns 50 this year, having been founded in 1975.

The theme of the conference is, “Revitalising the Nigerian Petroleum Exploration and Production Strategies for Energy Security and Sustainable Development.”

Shell, a Titanium sponsor of the event, is complimenting its support and participation with an exhibition on the full range of its businesses in Nigeria – Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SNEPCo), Shell Nigeria Gas, All On and Daystar Power Limited.

Executive Vice President Nigeria and Country Chair, Shell Companies in Nigeria, Marno de Jong commented: “Shell has powered progress in Nigeria for over 60 years through our businesses and social investments. The Final Investment Decisions on Bonga North and HI projects underscore our commitment to the development of the country. Our exhibition tells this story of progress and partnership.”

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri and Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, were among dignitaries who visited the Shell stand as the exhibition got underway.

Senior Production Geoscientist & Subsurface Integrator, Abidemi Belgore, conducted visitors round the stand, which featured Shell’s footprints in deep-water production, domestic gas distribution and empowerment of businesses through provision of renewable energy and other power solutions.

“We’re pleased that our presentations have been well received by visitors,” Abidemi said.

Such collaboration, it said, could result in investments in research and development that would ensure technological innovations not only in the oil and gas industry but also in other sectors of the economy.

SPDC Exploration Manager, Gogo Eneyok, made the call in Abuja where the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society, NMGS, began its 60th Annual International Conference on February 16-21, with the theme “Transformation of the Mineral, Energy, Water and Construction Sectors through innovations.”

He said: “SPDC has sustained its decades-old partnership with the NMGS, sponsoring conferences, providing internship opportunities for professionals and the academia and supporting research, especially through the provision of real-time data from the industry to improve the quality of academic work.”

Eneyok added: “Shell continues to power progress in Nigeria through our operations on land, shallow and deep-water waters, as well as in gas and renewables and will provide opportunities for industry professionals to innovate and keep pushing the limits of research and development. It is indeed, a time where all professionals and government must deliberate on the various aspects of the energy sector.”

In his address at the conference, NMGS president, Prof Akinade Olatunji, enjoined Nigerian government to trust its citizens’ capabilities to guide the nation on a “trajectory of consistent growth that will wipe out poverty.”

He said: “The NMGS conference has grown from a very humble beginning 60 years ago to become the flagship of all the geosciences and mining professionals’ conferences in Nigeria. We are confronted by a vast changing world order. It is against this background of a changing world order and the fervent need to be self-sufficient in all spheres that we have identified the need for innovation in solving the myriads of challenges in the various sectors of the Nigerian economy.”

In a goodwill message delivered at the conference, President of the National Association of Petroleum Explorationists, NAPE, Johnbosco Uche, said: “NMGS role is critical as it helps to shape the future of earth scientists, foster research and ensure that professionals operate with noble values as the nation exploits natural resources.”

Uche, who is also the Chief Geophysicist for Shell Companies in Nigeria, highlighted NAPE’s collaboration with NMGS: “As colleagues in geosciences, we at NAPE deeply value the partnership with you. Our shared goal of harnessing the earth’s resources responsibly and efficiently requires continuous co-operation and synergy between us.”

This was as the Managing Director of Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company, SNEPCo, Ronald Adams, pledged sustained efforts by Shell to address “the Nigerian energy trilemma by powering progress towards energy security in a sustainable manner,” while addressing the closing dinner of the conference.

Shell was declared Best Overall Exhibitor and Best exhibiting Energy company (International) just as Geophysicist Somime Oguntola took home the Award of Excellence for Oral Paper (second place).

A Shell staff, Johnbosco Uche, was also installed as the new President of NAPE.

Shell companies in Nigeria have supported NAPE since its founding in 1975, using the skills and expertise of the large pool of energy professionals in its employment to improve its activities especially educational and mentoring programmes.

In addition to being a major sponsor of the 2024 conference, Shell mounted a high-profile exhibition, featuring among other things, career counselling, engagements on Nigerian Content and Contractor development and panel sessions on Women in Industry and Sustainability Energy Challenge.

A highlight was the Shell medical stand which attended to more than 500 conference participants and members of the public over the four days of the annual event.

The doctors and nurses offered a wide range of services including laboratory tests, deworming, medical consultation as well as ophthalmology checks and distribution of nearly 300 eyeglasses.

In his remarks at the dinner, Mr Adams referred to the operations of SNEPCo as an example of Shell’s contribution to energy security in Nigeria.

“As a result of sustained production from Bonga, we have provided funds to finance development, created a new generation of Nigerian Deepwater professionals, empowered indigenous contractors and service providers, and implemented social investments that have touched lives in the six geo-political zones of the country,” he said.

Mr. Adams added: “SNEPCo and indeed Shell are in Nigeria for the long haul. Our commitment is reflected in both our current and growth plans, all of which are grounded in principles of safety, affordability, and competitive performance.”
