The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Nigeria Council has called for technology, policy, and supply chain optimization in energy sector. In her welcome address at the Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum (OLEF 2025) held in Abuja, the Chairman of SPE Nigeria Council, Engr. Amina Danmadami, reaffirmed the Forum’s continued role as a premier platform for dialogue and innovation in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
This year’s theme, “Driving Energy Sustainability Through Technology, Policy, and Supply Chain Excellence,” reflects the urgency of modernizing Nigeria’s oil and gas value chain while reinforcing its central role in national economic growth and energy security.
Engr. Danmadami emphasized that, while the global discourse increasingly tilts toward renewables, Nigeria must focus on optimizing its hydrocarbon resources through the integration of advanced technologies, robust policy implementation, and resilient supply chain strategies.
“The path to sustainability in our context is not one of displacement, but one of optimization,” Danmadami said, highlighting the potential of innovations such as AI-driven maintenance, digital oilfields, and reservoir optimization to improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
She also pointed to the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) as a critical policy milestone, urging stakeholders to align their investments and operations with the Act’s provisions to ensure transparency and investor confidence. On the supply chain front, the Chairman of SPE Nigeria Council called for a renewed focus on local content, procurement integrity, and logistics optimization as cornerstones for competitiveness and resilience.
The 2025 edition of OLEF featured a series of keynote addresses and panel discussion designed to generate actionable insights for the future of Nigeria’s energy sector.
Since its inception in 1991, OLEF has served to commemorate Nigeria’s first commercial oil discovery in Oloibiri, Bayelsa State, and has become a vital space for engagement on the country’s energy future. SPE Nigeria Council remains committed to ensuring that Nigeria’s oil and gas sector evolves to meet the demands of the future—sustainably, competitively, and with enduring impact.
The group also used the opportunity to invite stakeholders to attend upcoming flagship SPE events which include the Africa Gas Innovation Summit (June 18–19, 2025, PTDF Tower, Abuja) and the Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition (NAICE) August 4–6, 2025, Eko Hotels & Suites, Lagos.
