Aspen Energy, an integrated energy consultancy company will host the second Aspen Energy Roundtable in January 2019 in Lagos. The event, a platform for thought leadership in Nigeria’s energy sector, attracts leading operators in the energy sector in the country as well as top policy makers.
The theme of the proposed Roundtable is “Gas Business in Nigeria: Challenges and Opportunities”. It will feature deliberations on the full spectrum in Nigeria ranging from the Nigerian gas master plan- the journey so far, to financing natural gas projects in Nigeria among other topics.
The first Aspen Energy Roundtable event held in July 2017 attracted key players in the industry, which included Mr Austin Avuru (MD/CEO of Seplat Petroleum), Dr. Lai Fatona (MD ND Western), Mr. Osten Olorunsola (Former DPR Director), Mr. Seye Fadahunsi (MD Pillar Oil), Mrs. Pat Maseli (Head Upstream Monitoring & Regulation representing the MD Department of Petroleum Resources), Mr. Olusegun Olujobi (MD Vertex Energy), Mr. Bunmi Toyobo (Executive Director- Oil Producers Trade Section) and Dr. Mason Oghenejobo amongst several others.
In his opening speech at the inaugural Aspen Energy Roundtable themed “Growing Nigerian Independents to World Class E&P Companies”, Mr. Opadere stated that with over sixty years of petroleum operations in Nigeria and the advent of Indigenous oil and gas companies, the Nigeria’s Petroleum Industry has both the capacity and the opportunity to be a catalyst for investments and economic growth in Nigeria, creating employment for several thousands of Nigerians.
The Managing Director of Aspen Energy, Sir Benjamin Ofodile, reiterated that the Roundtable aims to articulate the organising logic for building a vibrant and sustainable energy sector in Nigeria. He said that the intellectual content is usually very rich adding that the output is distilled and communicated to various stakeholders, including government.
“We look forward to the second edition of the Aspen Energy Round table as it promises to be bigger and better”, he said.
