SAIPEC Energy Conference To Discuss Local Content

The Sub Saharan Africa International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC) is set to address Energy conference will discuss the local content in Nigeria.

Key policy makers and energy industry operators from over 40 countries have confirmed participation at the SAIPEC conference and will centre around local content development in the energy industry.

Participation for SAIPEC 2023 grows with further attending delegations confirmed from Nambia, Guyana, Senegal and Tanzania and other countries across the globe.

The seventh edition of the SAIPEC, hosted by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) will return to Lagos next month (13-17 February) featuring a host of B2B networking and partnership opportunities to drive regional collaborations through a week long programme of activities.

With delegations, speakers and organisations attending from over 40 countries across Sub Saharan Africa and beyond,  SAIPEC has truly achieved its objective – since its inception seven years ago when its purpose was to serve primarily West Africa – to grow organically and evolve in line with the industry, now serving the whole of Sub Saharan Africa.

PETAN chair, Nik Odinuwe explained that, “SAIPEC sets the precedence for honest debate and the drive for stakeholders to see the highlighted abundance of business opportunities in the oil and gas industry in Sub Saharan Africa and the global energy industry – and discussions and strategic collaborations don’t end at the conference. It has led to developmental progress.”

He continued; “The massive turnout of stakeholders, including IOCs, NOCs, regulators, service providers, the academia and other stakeholders at SAIPEC annually, suggests it is the biggest platform that links stakeholders to the global energy industry and markets. The testimonies are there to see, and that is why we have astronomical numbers attending yearly.”

For 2023, discussion will begin again on the 13th February, preceding the main conference, at the African Content Series seminar, hosted by NCDMB and PETAN.
