Shell: Oloibiri Lecture Series a platform for change

Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SNEPCo,) one of the sponsors of the Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum (OLEF) has described the initiative as a platform for driving change in Nigeria’s energy sector.

This, it said, was being achieved through discussions that centre on business performance, cost discipline and process simplification.

SNEPCO Managing Director, Ronald Adams, said this in a goodwill message delivered by General Manager, Wells and Geosciences Operations, Joe Mordi.

“This event is special to the Shell brand, not only because of the nostalgia of Oloibiri but the quality of discourse it has enabled in our sector over the years,” he stated.

“We are grateful to the Society of Petroleum Engineers and our host the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for another successful outing.”

Organised by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Nigeria Council, the Oloibiri Lecture Series and Energy Forum began in 1991, in commemoration of the country’s first commercial oil discovery by Shell at Oloibiri, Bayelsa State, in 1956.

Adams said recent developments in the upstream and downstream sectors of the energy industry, including the $5 billion final investment decision by Shell in the Bonga North Deepwater project echoed the sentiments around the first oil discovery.

He stated, “These strides come with a commitment to excellence required of us – for stakeholders, colleagues, our country and indeed, future generations.

“The theme for this year ‘Driving energy sustainability through technology, policy and supply chain excellence’ reflects this commitment. The future is bright, and we have the opportunity to co-create it.”
