Shell made a strong impression at the annual international conference of the Nigeria Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), which opened today in Lagos.

‎The company highlighted its pivotal role in advancing Nigeria’s oil industry through a prominent exhibition and received an award for the Bonga North Final Investment Decision (FID) during the opening ceremony.

‎Shell, one of over 60 exhibitors at the conference, showcased its flagship operations through Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SNEPCo), Shell Nigeria Gas (SNG), All On, an impact investment company focused on improving energy access in Nigeria, and Daystar Power, a provider of integrated solar power solutions for businesses across West Africa.
