SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition (NAICE): Africa’s Premier Oil and Gas Knowledge Forum

The SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition (NAICE), hosted by the Society of Petroleum Engineers Nigeria Council, is more than just a conference—it is Africa's most influential gathering of professionals in the oil and gas sector. Held at the prestigious Eko Hotels in Lagos, Nigeria, this annual event continues to set the standard for energy industry engagement, technical exchange, and innovation.

For over four decades, NAICE has brought together leading voices across the exploration and production (E&P) value chain, creating a robust platform for critical discussions, technology showcases, and knowledge development. Now in its 48th edition, this year's conference promises to deliver even greater insight into the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of oil, gas, and broader energy systems across sub-Saharan Africa.

A Legacy of Technical Excellence and Industry Leadership

Since its inception in 1976, NAICE has grown to become the largest upstream oil and gas conference in Africa, attracting thousands of attendees from across the continent and beyond. The conference is a cornerstone of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Nigeria Council's commitment to professional development and technical competence in the region.

NAICE's Core Objectives:

To provide a technical platform for the exchange of industry knowledge and research

By facilitating these connections, NAICE helps strengthen local content, improve service delivery, and attract new investment into Nigeria’s and the wider region’s oil and gas landscape.

Collaboration with Regulators and Government Stakeholders

Beyond its technical and commercial focus, NAICE plays an important role in policy engagement and industry alignment. Every year, high-level government representatives, energy ministers, and key regulatory bodies participate in the conference to address the most pressing challenges in the sector.

These dialogues are critical in ensuring that policy, technology, and investment move in the same direction toward common national and regional goals. Through interactive policy sessions, stakeholders explore:

Licensing and upstream fiscal frameworks

Energy security and diversification strategies

Regulatory compliance and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) standards

Nigeria's role in the global energy transition

This integration of policy and practice sets NAICE apart as a well-rounded, impactful event.

Embracing the Energy Transition and Technological Change

As the global energy sector undergoes transformation, the SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition has evolved to reflect the changing landscape. Topics such as carbon capture and storage, hydrogen development, electrification, and renewables integration now form an essential part of the NAICE agenda.

Sustainability and innovation are no longer side conversations—they are front and center. The conference encourages energy professionals to rethink their roles in a decarbonizing world, with a focus on:

Cleaner production methods

Renewable project development in oil-rich regions

Energy efficiency in exploration and drilling

Integration of alternative energy into existing infrastructure

By confronting these issues head-on, NAICE contributes to shaping a more responsible and future-ready energy industry.

A Global Community of Experts, Rooted in African Realities

While NAICE is deeply embedded in Nigeria's oil and gas landscape, it commands a truly global reach. Delegates and contributors come from across Africa, Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia, reinforcing the importance of Nigeria and West Africa in the global energy economy.

This diversity of voices ensures a rich and relevant exchange of perspectives, making NAICE a space where global experience meets local relevance. Whether it's upstream innovation in the Niger Delta or offshore development in Angola, the issues discussed resonate across multiple regions and markets.

NAICE as a Pillar of Africa’s Energy Future

With nearly five decades of impact, the SPE Nigeria Annual International Conference and Exhibition (NAICE) stands at the heart of Africa’s oil and gas development. More than just an annual gathering, it is a platform for transformation—for knowledge sharing, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration.

As Nigeria and other African nations work to secure energy access, attract investment, and transition to cleaner sources, events like NAICE are vital in shaping the path forward. By uniting engineers, scientists, government leaders, and investors, NAICE not only reflects the state of the industry—it helps define its future.
 

POWER & WATER NIGERIA

Nigeria, the seventh most populous country globally, is experiencing rapid population growth, necessitating an increase in power and water supply to meet the escalating demands. However, despite progress, access to reliable electricity and safe water remains a significant challenge, hindering the country's development trajectory.

The Power & Water Nigeria Exhibition, an annual event that has been fostering connections between the power and water industries since 2022, serves as a vital platform for addressing these pressing issues. By bringing together global stakeholders, the exhibition facilitates technical discussions and on-the-spot assessments of the region's opportunities in power generation, distribution, renewables, water supply, and utilities sectors.

With just over half of the population having intermittent access to power, inadequate electricity supply has been a major obstacle to Nigeria's economic growth. Similarly, the water sector faces hurdles, with only 71% of the population having access to safe water. Climate factors contribute to these challenges, but research underscores the urgent need for upgrades in water supply infrastructure.

The Power & Water Nigeria Exhibition offers a unique opportunity for stakeholders to explore innovative technologies from both local and international suppliers. From cutting-edge solutions in power generation to advancements in water treatment and distribution, attendees have access to a diverse range of products and services aimed at addressing Nigeria's energy and water challenges.
