AS part of activities marking its 25th anniversary, Energia Limited will host a
special industry showcase during the NAPE 2026 Pre-Conference Workshop on 21 October 2026 at Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
The showcase, themed “Shaping Tomorrow’s Energy: The Indigenous
Operator’s Role in Nigeria’s Upstream Future,”will feature Oladimeji Bashorun,
Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Energia Limited, as the theme
speaker.
The engagement will examine the evolving role of indigenous
operators in Nigeria’s upstream sector, drawing on Energia’s 25-year journey in
indigenous energy operations and its experience in production growth, field
development, technical capability and infrastructure development.
Founded in 2001, Energia has grown from an indigenous ambition into an
established upstream operator, with a track record marked by significant
production and operational milestones.
These include achieving 1 million
barrels of cumulative crude oil production in 2012, 5 million barrels in 2016 and
10 million barrels in 2020.
These milestones reflect the company’s progress and
investments in field development, production infrastructure, crude evacuation
and gas processing.
Drawing on this experience, the symposium will explore the technical,
operational and local capabilities required to strengthen indigenous
participation in Nigeria’s upstream sector.
It will also provide an opportunity to
examine how indigenous operators can contribute to production growth,
infrastructure development and the long-term competitiveness of Nigeria’s oil
and gas industry.
Speaking ahead of the engagement, Oladimeji Bashorun, Managing
Director/Chief Executive Officer of Energia, said: “The future of Nigeria’s
upstream sector will depend, in part, on the ability of indigenous operators to
translate local knowledge, technical expertise and strategic partnerships into
sustainable production growth.
Our experience at Energia has reinforced the importance of disciplined field development, investment in infrastructure and the continuous strengthening of operational capabilities.
As we mark 25 years, we remain committed to contributing to the growth and competitiveness of
Nigeria’s energy industry.”
The event aligns with the broader focus of Energia’s 25th anniversary
theme, “Honouring Energia’s Legacy. Shaping Tomorrow’s Energy.”
The anniversary reflects on the company’s journey while looking ahead to the capabilities, partnerships and opportunities that will shape its next chapter and contribute to the future of Nigeria’s upstream sector.
The engagement comes ahead of the 44th NAPE Annual International
Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for 8-12 November 2026 in Lagos.
It also provides an opportunity to contribute to ongoing industry discussions on reserves growth, local capability development, adaptive technology and the
future competitiveness of Nigeria’s upstream sector.
Industry professionals attending the NAPE Pre-Conference Workshop are
invited to join the Energia Energy Symposium on 21 October 2026 at Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos.
