In furtherance to its enduring commitment to the development of Nigerian oil and gas industry, Atlantic Energy is yet again supporting this year’s edition of the Nigeria Oil & Gas (NOG) conference as a platinum sponsor for the 3rd consecutive year. The NOG is the largest oil & gas conference in sub-Saharan Africa, holding on the 17th -20th of March 2014 at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

According to the Co-CEO of Atlantic Energy, Scott Aitken, “NOG brings together all major stakeholders, and provides the appropriate atmosphere for those meaningful discussions and collaborations required to move Nigeria’s oil and gas industry forward. We are pleased to participate again.”

The Nigerian Oil & Gas industry has experienced an increase in indigenous participation in recent years with the passage of the local content act. Atlantic Energy through its Strategic Alliance Agreement with the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company Limited, the exploration arm of the Nigerian national Petroleum Corporation, is helping to build indigenous technical capacity resulting in increased production and improved gas supply for power.

The Co-CEO of Atlantic Energy, Scott Aitken, is scheduled to deliver a presentation on the 19th March on Overcoming Challenges & Supporting the Growth of Independent, Indigenous Producers & Service Providers.

“At Atlantic Energy, we believe that there are home-grown solutions to almost all the challenges facing the industry. Conferences like these, enable local players like us cross-fertilise ideas with one another with a view to devising solutions to transform the industry for the better”. He added.

The NOG is expected to host over 1000 delegates from different countries around the world.
