The ADIPEC 2024 Technical Conference has received a record 5,977 submissions, a 16% increase over last year, with major submission growth seen in the AI and Digital Transformation and Energy Transition and Decarbonisation categories, and increased submissions from African and Arab states.
The ADIPEC Technical Conference is a key part of ADIPEC, the world’s largest energy event, which takes place on 4-7 November 2024 in Abu Dhabi. Organised by SPE, the Technical Conference this year will feature 159 sessions across 12 categories, for which energy experts and engineers from around the world submit their work to be considered for presentation.
“As chairman of the ADIPEC Technical Conference, I am immensely proud to announce a historic milestone of 5,977 technical submissions received this year. This unprecedented volume of contributions underscores ADIPEC's vital role as a premier forum for innovative dialogue and exchange within the global energy sector. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all authors – the pioneering experts that continue to drive our industry forward, fostering the advancements and collaborative spirit necessary to meet the evolving demands of our world,” said Dr. Khaled Abdul Monem Al Kindi, Senior Vice President, Upper Zakum, ADNOC Offshore and ADIPEC 2024 Technical Conference Programme Chair.
Continuing its 40-year legacy of energy leadership and innovation, ADIPEC 2024 aims to be a driving force for accelerated energy action. This year, the event sets out a renewed vision, gathering diverse voices from communities, nations, and industries to find collective solutions that can deliver affordable, secure, and sustainable energy for all.
As a key part of ADIPEC’s portfolio of 10 conferences, the ADIPEC Technical Conference brings together the brightest minds and technical experts from across the energy value chain – the changemakers at the forefront of engineering, technology and industry innovation.
The two submission categories that saw the biggest increases were Energy Transition and Decarbonisation and AI and Digital Transformation, with 38% and 32% jumps respectively. These increases reveal the energy industry’s growing focus on emerging digital technologies and efforts to decarbonise in support of the energy transition, which are a major focus of ADIPEC this year, reflected across its dynamic conference and exhibition agenda.
A significant increase was also recorded in the number of submissions from Arab and African countries over last year, rising 50% and 28% respectively. Double-digit growth was also recorded in submissions from the Asia & Pacific Region, North America, and the Middle East. The ADIPEC Technical Conference also saw experts from 25% more companies submit their work for presentation.
Christopher Hudson, president of dmg events, the organiser of ADIPEC, said: "Decarbonisation presents many challenges and opportunities for all sectors. ADIPEC’s focus on platforming low-carbon energy innovations to power industry, empower lives, and accelerate global prosperity makes its Technical Conference a critical forum to advance a sustainable, secure and equitable energy future. This year’s record number of submissions, along with the substantial increases in geographical and category-specific contributions, highlights the alignment of our agenda with the industry's needs and the global commitment to be part of the solution."

Following a meticulous review process by the Africa Energy Bank Headquarters Ministerial Selection Committee, Abuja, Nigeria, emerged to be the unanimous choice made during the 45th Extraordinary Session of the African Petroleum Producers’ Organisation Ministerial Council chaired by the Minister of Hydrocarbons of the Republic of the Congo, Bruno Jean Richard Itoua
The strategically rich Nigeria fell perfectly in place with the criteria of judgement that prioritised socio-economic factors, safety, security and accessibility. Honouring the decision, Heineken Lokpobiri, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), assured the Council that the country will provide the necessary facilities for the bank’s timely and effective establishment.
Garnering international attention
Nigeria has garnered investment interests not just from international oil majors, but supranational institutions like the World Bank which approved a US$2.25bn package to the country last month as assistance for oil revenue management, fiscal sustainability, economic growth and public services enhancement. Last year, the country successfully weilded a series of strategic engagements with 15 international and national oil and gas companies working in Nigeria – Chevron, TotalEnergies, Shell, NAOC, ExxonMobil, Seplat, Heirs Holdings, Waltersmith, First E&P to name a few. These talks resulted in significant investment opportunities with an estimated US$55.2bn by 2030, of which US$13.5bn is expected to be invested in 2024.
The West African country will thus be an ideal host to AEB that aims to address Africa's oil and gas funding challenges in the face of global energy transition. A joint venture by APPO and African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), AEB will focus on financing both fossil fuels and renewable energy sources across the continent with an initial share capital of US$5bn.

TAG Oil Ltd announced that it is continuing to produce oil and unload fracture fluid from the BED4-T100 (T100) horizontal well in the Badr-1 Oil Field in the Western Desert of Egypt, and has commenced shipping the crude oil for further treating and handling
The current T100 oil production is 400 barrels of oil per day, and associated gas-oil ratio is 150 standard cubic feet per barrel. Production rates represent approximately 130 barrels of oil per day per 100 meters of lateral horizontal length completed in the Abu-Roash “F” (“ARF”) unconventional tight, carbonate reservoir, which is better than analogous reservoirs, and aligned with performance simulation forecasts.
The newly installed jet pump system is designed to lift 600 barrels of fluid per day at peak efficiency and current fluid rates have fluctuated between 400 and 500 barrels per day. The company continues to optimize productivity of the T100 well by gradually increasing pump speed and reducing in-take pressure to reach the best stabilized production rate. The company has now sent crude oil shipments to two third-party receiving terminals in the Western Desert and are engaging in agreements and implementing infrastructure for regular shipments of ARF crude oil in the third quarter. Total oil produced from T100 to date is in excess of 10,000 barrels.
Toby Pierce, TAG Oil’s CEO, said “We are excited to be trucking oil to two nearby terminals for further treating and handling. With the encouraging results of this discovery well, we are eager to start drilling our next ARF well with a full 1,000-meter lateral section. We are also progressing various business development efforts to increase our footprint on this play in Egypt, and we have other ongoing initiatives in the broader Middle East region.”

In line with the strategy to develop and promote Morocco's hydrocarbon resources, the general director of Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM), Amina Benkhadra, inked two reconnaissance contracts with Charles David Tautfest, president of Esso Exploration International Limited, a subsidiary of US oil major ExxonMobil Corporation
Morocco's hydrocarbons strategy has seen consistent progress due to projects such as Loukos and Anchois, which can potentially become major supply sources for the region's gas market. The country is also working to produce the world's cheapest green hydrogen via a project called White Dunes, spearheaded by Falcon Capital Dakhla in collaboration with HDF Energy.
First exploration since 1999
Signed in ONHYM headquarters, the reconnaissance contracts mark ExxonMobil's first exploration activity in Morocco since 1999. The areas of operation to be covered are Safi-Essaouira and Agadir-Ifni offshore the cities of Safi, Essaouira, Agadir and Sidi Ifni.
The Moroccan offshores are also known for prospective acreages such as the Lixus and Rissana licences which are being developed by Energean and Chariot.

While June output reflected improved production cut compliance in OPEC + group, Rystad Energy has observed that countries such as Sudan, South Sudan, Nigeria, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Congo-Brazzaville, among others, continue to overcomply with the official cuts
Nigeria was one of the countries whose output recovery shot production rates from non-voluntary cutters to 3.044 mn bpd, which is 142,000 bpd higher than in May.
While Nigeria recovered, it still fell short of target (210,000 bpd in June), one of the primary reasons of undercompliance from 10 of the member countries, whose production this month was 3.435 mn bpd – 142,000 bpd higher than in May.
Tension between Sudan and South Sudan has also impacted their production as June output in South Sudan was only 48,000 bpd – 76,000 bpd lower than its target. Sudan, on the other hand, produced only 31,000 bpd – 33,000 bpd below its quota.
Strong compliance among member countries
Despite increases from Nigeria (39,000 bpd) and Brunei (45,000 bpd), overall figures for June show that OPEC+ production dropped by 140,000 to 40.911 mn bpd, especially due to lower output in Russia (173,000 bpd) and the UAE (76,000 bpd).
The group’s overall production was only marginally above its target by just 53,000 bpd – its lowest level since the start of the year. This pointed to improved compliance as observed by Jorge León, senior vice president - oil market research, Rystad Energy, who said, “The recent improvement in compliance levels with the OPEC+ cuts show strong commitment and cohesion inside the group. It also shows that the compensation mechanism put into place is working. I expect to see strong compliance continuing in the coming months.”
Compliance among the eight voluntary cutters – Oman, Kuwait, the UAE, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq and Kazakhstan – has improved.
Kurt Barrow, head of oil markets, S&P Global Commodity Insights observed last year that crude pricing in 2024 depends on OPEC+'s ability to follow through on voluntary production cuts. Maintaining discipline among member countries can be especially difficult due to strong non-OPEC+ supply growth and slowing oil demand growth.

The Namibia Oil and Gas Conference is all set for a second edition in Windhoek from 20-22 August, following an eventful first edition in 2023 that explored the best strategic roadmap to leverage the region's oil and gas investments, especially from its resource powerhouse – Orange Basin
This year's theme, Next Steps towards a Prosperous Oil and Gas Industry, will include insights and analyses, specific to Namibia's hydrocarbons sector, also delving into the region's energy revolution in areas such as local content, infrastructure and logistics. National and international stakeholders will be present at the event to speak on Namibia's procurement transparency and the country's role in the global oil and gas markets. Chevon's majority acquisition of the petroleum exploration license 82 (PEL 82) in May shows international interests in the region even beyond Orange Basin.
“20-22 August 2024 will signify a landmark three days of engagement, empowerment, and energy. The second edition of the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference under the theme, The Next Steps Towards a Prosperous Oil and Gas Industry, comes to fruition based on unparalleled demand by industry players (international and local); public, private, academia and civil society stakeholders, as well as the general Namibian public from local entrepreneurs; to professionals across diverse sectors as well as the youth. The message is: Let’s fill the information gap; let’s network; let’s participate,” said Jason Kasuto, chairman, Economic Association of Namibia during the official launch of the second NOGC. This year's edition will be introducing pre-event, dedicated workshop sessions on skills development and capacity building in the oil, gas and energy sectors.
Creating sustainable value chains
Organised by the Economic Association of Namibia, Namibia Investment Promotion and Development Board and the Hanns Seidel Foundation, NOGC 2024 is backed by the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia and the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy. The Ministry is working on a new, investor-friendly regulatory framework to balance out its 2030 hydrocarbon strategy, with first achieving oil and later getting large-scale green hydrogen projects started. Namibia will also be welcoming the inaugural Global African Hydrogen Summit (GAH2S) in Windhoek from 3-5 September this year to provide a platform for the global players in the hydrogen value chain to promote their projects in Africa.
“With over 70 renowned speakers covering relevant topics, panel discussions, masterclasses and exhibitions, the mission of the Economic Association of Namibia is clear – the Namibia Oil and Gas Conference 2024 has a strong focus on proposing ideas and strategies that will ensure that investments in the sector will not create an enclave around oil and gas production sites, but that investment will lead to the development of an integrated industrial base with backward and forward linkages to the rest of the economy, thus creating sustainable value chains, jobs and uplifting the living standards of Namibia’s people,” said Kasuto.

By agreement, Tanzania’s Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority (PURA) has given energy data and intelligence company TGS full access to the region's extensive offshore subsurface data
The agreement will allow TGS to manage and license more than 132,000 sq kms of seismic data, both 2D and 3D.
Tanzania boasts strong play diversity, proven through exploration success across much of the stratigraphy, from Early Cretaceous to Miocene reservoirs. The comprehensive dataset comprises of regional seismic as well as well data, unlocking insights into the basin's evolution and structural history.
It will help identify hydrocarbon plays, allow for prospect-specific analysis, mapping of robust trapping configurations, and help understand the maturity and distribution of source rocks.
Besides exclusive rights to license all of Tanzania’s offshore mainland data, TGS is also free to acquire new seismic data and reprocess existing data.
The company can support upcoming licensing rounds, which is expected to start next year. Tanzania is now ranked third in sub-Saharan Africa for future investment, anticipating 6% GDP growth by 2025, with million-dollar investments in infrastructure, and LNG, among other sectors.
Attractive exploration target
David Hajovsky, EVP of multi-client at TGS, said, “Tanzania remains an attractive exploration target with its world-class gas fields and excellent sands proven across multiple source intervals. By providing access to high-quality seismic data ahead of potential future licensing activities, TGS will empower exploration and production companies to evaluate opportunities in this under-explored but highly promising region of East Africa.”
TGS has also signed an agreement recently with the national oil company of Liberia (NOCAL) for data access expansion in the region.

The Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline Project site received Ministers from the Federation of Nigeria for an inspection visit following the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation's Group CEO Mele Kyari's assurance that the project will be delivered by the end of first quarter 2025
The Ministers who were visiting included Wale Edun, Minister of Finance/Coordinating Minister of the Economy; Mohammed Idris Malagi, Minister of Information and National Orientation, and Ekperikpe Ekpo, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas).
The AKK Project, which is a 40 inch by 614km linear pipeline system with associated intermediate, terminal gas facilities and other related equipment for natural gas transportation, is of strategic importance for Nigeria as it is anticipated a major driver of the nation's economic growth and industrialisation. The project is capable of generating 3.6 GW of power and support gas-based industries along the route.
"If you know about the Kakuri Industrial Area and how most of our factories there have become moribund, you will understand why we in Kaduna State are all excited about the AKK Gas Pipeline. Without doubt, the pipeline will revamp our industries and bring about a huge impact on our people. We can't wait for it to be completed," said Mallam Uba Sani, Governor of Kaduna State.
Harnessing Nigeria's vast gas resources
Addressing the Ministers, Kyari noted that the AKK project has been entirely funded by the NNPC, and said, "Without promising too much, we assure you that this project will be delivered on schedule. Our mission is to work towards delivering it by December this year. But we are confident this project will be delivered by first Quarter of 2025."
The approximately US$2.8bn AKK project was initially supposed to be funded by Chinese lenders, but that plan fell apart once they failed to produce the cash when required.
Edun as well as Ekpo reaffirmed the government's enthusiasm with the AKK project, given its several efforts to harness Nigeria's vast gas resources to improve power generation, revamp ailing industries and create employment. Edun said, "The AKK Gas Pipeline is crucial for this administration and its delivery is in line with Mr. President's strategy of bringing prosperity to the people."
"Nigerians should be proud of the AKK Gas Pipeline project. With the delivery of this project, the prosperity that Mr. President is always talking about is unravelling right here before our eyes," said Idris Malagi.

Gas yield from OML 58 is processed in the Obite treatment centre for supply to NLNG. (Image source: Adobe Stock)
TotalEnergies and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Ltd has reached a final investment decision (FID) for the development of the Ubeta gas field
Located about 80 km northwest of Port Harcourt in Rivers state, the Ubeta gas field falls under OML 58 onshore license which is operated by TotalEnergies with a 40% interest while NNPC holds the other 60%.
The development plan includes the installation of a 11 km buried pipeline to connect Ubeta's new six-well cluster to the existing Obite facilities, thus allowing emissions reduction and cost efficiency. A 5 MW solar plant is currently under construction at Obite to further alleviate carbon intensity. A completely electrified drilling rig will be deployed for production which is due to start in 2027.
During COP28, TotalEnergies signed an agreement with NNPCL among other African oil companies to deploy its advanced drone-based technology AUSEA on oil & gas facilities in Nigeria, and soon after, an inspection of OML 100 field in south-eastern Niger Delta confirmed that their joint venture has achieved zero routine gas flaring across all its assets, including OML 58.
Favourable government initiatives
While things are looking up in terms of sustainable practices, Nigeria is also focusing on production optimisation, and its recent collaboration with SLB testifies this approach.
The Ubeta field capacity is expected at approximately 70,000 bopd including condensates. The Obagi oil field and the Ibewa gas and condensate field that also belong within OML 58 are currently in production. The gas yield is processed in the Obite treatment centre for supply to the Nigerian domestic gas market as well as Nigeria LNG (NLNG) plant.
TotalEnergies owns a 15% interest in NLNG, which is a liquefaction plant in Bonny Island, with an on-going capacity expansion from 22-30 Mtpa.
With more than 90% of manhours to be worked locally, the major, along with NNPCL, is aiming to enhance local content.
“Ubeta is the latest in a series of projects developed by TotalEnergies in Nigeria, most recently Ikike and Akpo West. I am pleased that we can launch this new gas project which has been made possible by the Government’s recent incentives for non-associated gas developments. Ubeta fits perfectly with our strategy of developing low-cost and low-emission projects, and will contribute to the Nigerian economy through higher NLNG exports,” said Mike Sangster, senior vice president - Africa, exploration and production at TotalEnergies.
