Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SNEPCo,) has described Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum (OLEF) as platform for driving change in Nigeria’s energy sector through the discussions that centre on business performance, cost discipline and process simplification.
The company is one of the sponsors of the lecture series.
In a goodwill speech at the recent lecture series, SNEPCO Managing Director Ronald Adams said the event is special to the Shell brand, not only because of the nostalgia of Oloibiri but the quality of discourse it has enabled in the sector over the years.
The company’s General Manager, Wells and Geosciences Operations,Joe Mordi,who delivered Adams’ speech,said: “We are grateful to the Society of Petroleum Engineers and our host the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for another successful outing.”
Organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Nigeria Council, the Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum began in 1991, in commemoration of the country’s first commercial oil discovery by Shell at Oloibiri, Bayelsa State, in 1956.
Adams said recent developments in the Upstream and Downstream sectors of the energy industry, including the $5-billion final investment decision by Shell in the Bonga North Deepwater project echoed the sentiments around the first oil discovery.
He added: “These strides come with a commitment to excellence required of us – for stakeholders, colleagues, our country and indeed, future generations. The theme for this year ‘Driving energy sustainability through technology, policy and supply chain excellence’ reflects this commitment. The future is bright, and we have the opportunity to co-create it.”
