As geopolitical tensions continue to reshape global energy markets, disrupt supply chains and intensify competition for resources, energy producers are facing growing pressure to secure operations, optimise production and deliver energy more efficiently. For Africa’s energy industry, the challenge is no longer defined by resource availability but by the speed at which operators can scale, innovate and adapt to a rapidly changing global landscape.
Against this backdrop, the CPD certified Technical Seminar at NOG Energy Week 2026 is set to provide a critical platform for advancing practical solutions across the energy value chain. Scheduled to run from July 7 to 9, 2026, the multi day programme will bring together engineers, industry practitioners, procurement specialists, policymakers, researchers, academia, technology providers and energy executives to explore how emerging and existing technologies can address real operational challenges while unlocking new opportunities for growth.
The seminar reflects a deliberate industry shift towards leveraging technology as a catalyst for measurable performance outcomes across upstream, midstream, downstream and power sectors. Rather than focusing solely on innovation for innovation’s sake, discussions will centre on practical applications capable of improving operational efficiency, enhancing asset integrity, optimising production and delivering sustainable performance in increasingly complex operating environments.

A major focus of the programme will be digital transformation and the deployment of artificial intelligence across exploration, reservoir management and production optimisation. Industry experts will examine how data driven technologies are transforming decision making, reducing operational risks and enabling operators to maximise value from existing assets.
Gas monetisation and infrastructure development will also feature prominently throughout the seminar, reflecting their growing importance in Africa’s energy transition agenda. Sessions dedicated to LNG technologies, floating LNG deployment and flare gas utilisation will highlight strategies for converting stranded gas resources into commercially viable energy streams. These discussions underscore the dual role of natural gas as both a transition fuel and a key driver of domestic energy security and economic development.
The programme further emphasises the growing convergence between energy delivery and industrial development. Sessions exploring decentralised power systems, modular energy solutions and localised manufacturing models will showcase how integrated approaches can strengthen industrial capacity while addressing persistent energy challenges across African economies. This systems based approach is increasingly being recognised as essential for achieving sustainable industrial growth and long term energy resilience.
Beyond technology and infrastructure, the seminar will also address broader strategic issues shaping the future of the sector. Discussions will cover transforming mature fields into high value assets, investment trends, workforce development, operational excellence, project management, health, safety, security and environment (HSSE), as well as practical pathways towards decarbonisation.
The scale and diversity of the programme reflect the industry’s commitment to collaborative problem solving. Having received more than 700 technical abstracts from around the world, selected presentations will span geoscience, engineering, digital innovation, sustainability and energy markets. The breadth of topics reinforces the Technical Seminar’s position as a leading convergence point for cross disciplinary knowledge exchange and practical industry insights.
Participants attending the seminar will receive Certificates of Attendance that translate into Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points, supporting professional training and career advancement within the sector.

As NOG Energy Week continues to evolve as Africa’s premier energy gathering, the Technical Seminar highlights a defining reality for the industry: future success will depend not merely on ambitious targets, but on the ability to operationalise scalable solutions that improve performance, strengthen energy security and support sustainable economic growth.
NOG Energy Week remains Nigeria’s foremost platform for the global energy industry, fostering strategic dialogue, partnerships, investment opportunities and deal making across the sector. Bringing together stakeholders from oil, gas, power, renewables, technology and finance, the event serves as a catalyst for shaping a secure, equitable and sustainable energy future for Africa.
The 2026 edition is expected to attract more than 7,500 attendees, 300 global exhibitors, delegates from 85 countries, over 2,000 conference participants, 150 speakers and 50 conference sessions, reinforcing its position as one of Africa’s most influential energy events.
