Images from PETAN’s brilliant Emeka Ene’s presentation at the just concluded first Gas Panel Session on the final day of N.I.P.S 2021 in Abuja.The former PETAN Chairman made a comparative analysis of power generation between Nigeria and India to show how its imperative to focus on strategies that work for us in our gas industrialisation drive. He outlined the Three-S Strategy of identifying what works for us to include Sustainability, Security of Supply and Soci-economic Impact.On sustainability, he said that in off-grid supply, small power doing some great things beats big power doing not so great things. On security of supply, he encouraged the development of regional hubs of cluster producers that power industrial hubs to complement major supply. On Socio-economic impact, he noted that even as an environmentally-friendly resource, unavailability of gas cannot encourage grassroots industrialisation and improve quality of life.
It’s been an incredible journey. Welcome to the final day of the Nigeria International Petroleum Summit #NIPS2021 at the International Conferenec Centre (ICC), Abuja!
Talk about saving the best for last… Today, PETAN Star and former Chairman and CEO/MD, Oildata and Xenergy, Engr. Emeka Ene blessed the industry with more business wisdom from his wealth of knowledge and experience about the oil and gas sector which makes him a regular at most industry events. It was a stimulating first Gas Session featuring him amongst other brilliant minds this morning themed ‘Global Implications of Gas Revolution (With focus on what it means for Nigeria)’.
The session provided diverse thoughts to national growth and what it means to run an energy mix dominated by natural gas. Thanks to all our callers, friends and partners who swung by PETAN Booth B46.
It has been our utmost pleasure.

THE TECHNOLOGY SHOWCASE PLENARY SESSION
PETAN Chairman, Mr Nicolas Odinuwe said that the oil and gas industry in Nigeria and other developed countries in the region need to completely transform our value creation strategies using digitalisation as an enabler in business. “Digital transformation will mean aggregation and scaling of business by applying electronic information and technology management options that reduce and remove obsolete complexities, increase speed of access to relevant materials, aid quick and effective decision-making processes that bring value, save cost and time and improve organisational culture, data, processes and technology”.He noted that PETAN is solely focused on promoting new technologies such as automation, ROV technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Intelligent Pigging, 3D Modelling and Visialisation amongst several others which PETAN member companies are rendering to Nigerians and Africans.He called for deeper investments in Research and Development (R&D) to enable players in the industry to adapt emerging technologies to local conditions through trainings, courses, seminars and workshops.Commending the organisers of the Summit, Mr. Odinuwe said that PETAN has been organising and promoting the development of the oil and gas industry through the organisation and promotion of conferences such as the Nigerian Pavilion at the Offshore events including Technology Conferences (OTC) and PETAN’s annual Sub-Saharan International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC) some editions of which focused on innovations in the oil and gas industry geared towards exposition of Nigerians to the latest in oilfield and emerging technologies.
