THE organisers of the West African International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference, WAIPEC 2017, have unveiled an overview of its programme ahead of the three-day conference and exhibition, taking place from February 21 to 23, at the Eko Convention Centre, Lagos, Nigeria.
Delegates can participate in a series of plenary and industry panel sessions and topical presentations, to discuss, debate and explore innovative best practices, technological developments and alternative business and financing models relevant to Nigeria and West Africa’s upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors.
Specifically, discussions will focus on how West Africa’s oil and gas sector can remain competitive in a tough global market; the role of technology as a transformer in the sector and setting out a realistic road map for valued-added local content and financing models in the region’s energy industry.
Speaking of the programme Bank Anthony Okoroafor, chairman of Petroleum Engineers Association of Nigeria, PETAN, said, “Under the leadership of our steering committee, which represents a cross section of key stakeholders from the Nigerian oil and gas industry, WAIPEC’s programme has effectively been created by the industry for the industry.
“Sessions are designed to illustrate solutions successfully implemented in the sector to boost levels of production during an uncertain industry environment and share policy, technical and financial models for achieving national aspirations in better domestic utilisation of oil and gas.”
