Energy capital and electricity (PCU) is pleased to announce its partnership with the Nigerian Gas Association (NGA) to promote gas development and monetization opportunities to US investors at the first-ever US-Africa Energy Forum (USAEF) 2021 (December 9-10; Houston, Texas).
Ed Ubong, President of the NGA and Managing Director of Shell Nigeria Gas, will participate and speak at the event, providing an overview and opening the conversation on gas usage in West Africa. The NGA represents the largest gas-focused, corporate and individual member organization established to promote the advancement of Nigerian natural gas as the preferred energy source in the country.
âThe Nigerian gas value chain offers a series of integrated foreign investment and export opportunities for US entities, and the NGA is delighted to promote these opportunities at USAEF 2021 â, declared the NGAthe Executive Secretary, Mr. Taji Ogbe. âSitting on over 200 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, Nigeria is increasingly active in spearheading large-scale LNG and gas use projects aimed at monetizing abundant reserves, diversifying energy sources, reduce gas flaring practices and create gas-based industries.
“With the confirmation and participation of NGA, we can expect increased engagement with Nigerian companies, entities and project developers. As the largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria’s presence in USAEF 2021 will help reflect the scale of investment opportunities in West African energy markets and the continent as a whole, âsaid James Chester, Senior Director at PCU.
In recent years, Africa’s natural gas value chain has become the preferred destination for foreign direct investment – not only because the continent holds more than 500 trillion cubic feet of proven reserves, but also because natural gas is a crucial step in the global energy transition and the provision of clean and affordable energy. Under the Biden administration, the United States made clear its commitment to supporting developing countries in their own quest for low- or zero-carbon economies.
The USAEF is proud to partner with the African Energy Chamber, Texas-West Africa Chamber of Commerce, Rystad Energy, Oil and Gas Global Network, United States Energy Association and Kanflooens, alongside Nigerian Gas Association.
