NNPC hails Nigeria’s participation at 2022 OTC
Margery Chuba-Okadigbo, chairwoman of the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd., on Monday commended the Nigerian delegation at the 2022 Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), in Houston, Texas, U.S.
Ms Chuba-Okadigbo gave the commendation while declaring open the OTC Nigerian exhibition pavilion at the conference. She expressed her excitement toward declaring the pavilion open.
The Nigerian exhibition pavilion’s theme was ‘Energy Transition and the Future of Africa’, organised by the Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN).
The OTC is a platform for energy professionals across the globe to exchange ideas and opinions to advance scientific and technical knowledge for offshore resources.
“I am delighted to declare this exhibition open. Again, it’s a thing of joy and pride to see you Nigerians well represented in foreign countries,” she said.
In his opening remarks, the PETAN chairman Nicolas Odinuwe said the theme was carefully chosen to “reflect the current realities in African oil and gas.”
Mr Odinuwe called on Nigerian oil and gas industry leaders to continue to echo PETAN’s calls to deepen Nigerian content as always and implored NNPC Ltd. board and others to indulge the association.
“OTC means different things to different people. But thanks to PETAN’s focused participation. PETAN and Nigeria have built capacities, capabilities and visibility. PETAN has been the host of the Nigerian Pavilion for over 15 years,” he stressed. “And we have been fully supported by the NNPC (now NNPC Limited) who are in transition.”
He added, “We are here to continue to propagate, advocate and advance technology that has led to Nigeria being the only country in Sub-Saharan Africa with a robust exploration and production service industry.”
