NOG Energy Week Seeks Submissions Across 14 Oil, Gas Technical Categories

The NOG Energy Week has opened submissions for its 2027 Technical Seminar, inviting researchers, engineers, academics and other energy professionals to present technical solutions and innovations capable of addressing challenges across Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.

The call for papers covers 14 technical categories across the energy value chain. It is aimed at promoting the exchange of research, field experience and practical knowledge to support investment, operational efficiency and technological development in the sector.

Submissions are expected to address upstream activities, including geoscience, field development, drilling and asset management. They will also cover midstream operations involving infrastructure, facilities, supply and pipeline transportation, shipping and marine services.

Other focus areas include downstream infrastructure, power generation and industrialisation. The programme will also consider cross-cutting subjects such as artificial intelligence, digital transformation, decarbonisation, health, safety, security and environment (HSSE), project management, finance and people development.

Asset Operations Support at TotalEnergies EP Nigeria, Razaq Shuaib, who reviewed submissions for last year’s programme, said the contributions reflected the range of expertise available across the industry, including working engineers and students.

He stressed the importance of developing technical knowledge and human capacity to sustain progress in Nigeria’s energy sector, noting that human capital remained a major driver of industry growth.

Also speaking, Portfolio and Country Director, dmg Nigeria, Wemimo Oyelana, said the programme was designed to give professionals working on practical industry challenges an opportunity to share their experience and findings with a wider audience.

“We built this programme to reach the people actually solving problems in the field and providing them with a platform to share what they are learning within the wider industry. If you have worked through something the industry needs to hear about, this is the platform for it,” Oyelana said.

The organisers said abstracts of 500 words must be submitted by December 18, 2026, through the NOG Energy Week website. Selected papers will be presented at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, on June 29 and 30, 2027.

The organisers are expecting more than 1,000 submissions for the next edition, with eligible professionals encouraged to submit research and technical findings for consideration.

The seminar is expected to provide a platform for sharing practical approaches and emerging technologies that could support activities across the energy value chain, particularly in areas requiring improved operational performance, infrastructure development and more efficient use of resources.
