Nigeria is accelerating its drive to achieve an ambitious crude oil production target of 2.5 million barrels per day by 2026, supported by deep offshore developments, reactivation of dormant fields, and full implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA).
Recent data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) shows that national output has risen from about 1.46 million barrels per day in October 2024 to nearly 1.8 million bpd by mid-2025, reflecting improved security in oil-producing regions, renewed investor confidence, and ongoing sectoral reforms.
Against this backdrop, stakeholders across the energy value chain will converge in Abuja for the NOG Energy Week Conference and Exhibition, scheduled for 5-9 July 2026 at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre. The 25th-anniversary edition will bring together global energy leaders, policymakers, financiers, innovators, and investors to deliberate on strategies that will unlock capacity, finance, and technology for Africa’s energy future.
For a quarter of a century, NOG Energy Week has served as the definitive platform for dialogue, partnerships, and dealmaking across oil, gas, LNG, power, renewables, and emerging technologies. Its legacy includes fostering local content, driving strategic alliances, catalysing multi-billion-dollar investments, and advancing the continent’s sustainable energy goals.
Commenting on the milestone, Wemimo Oyelana, Country Director – Nigeria and Portfolio Director – Energy, dmg Nigeria events, said: ‘The 2026 edition of NOG Energy Week is not just a celebration of our 25-year journey but a decisive moment to align leaders and chart the course for the next phase of Africa’s energy progress. NOG Energy Week is a dynamic space where ideas converge, investments are catalysed, and partnerships are born.’
The 2026 edition will feature an expanded programme, including the Strategic Conference, Technical Seminar, Nigerian Content Seminar, International Exhibition, Energy Awards, Energy Club, and Leadership Roundtables. Each platform will address key challenges and opportunities in the sector-from energy security and financing to decarbonisation, local content development, and industrialisation.
As the global energy industry balances the twin imperatives of growth and sustainability, NOG Energy Week 2026 aims to serve once again as the convening ground where commitments are made, policies are shaped, and partnerships are forged. The anniversary edition will celebrate the event’s legacy while reinforcing its position as a catalyst for Africa’s energy transformation.
NOG Energy Week is Africa’s premier platform dedicated to serving the global energy industry by driving bold dialogue, strategic partnerships, and dealmaking to advance markets and accelerate progress. Over five dynamic days, participants engage across the entire energy value chain-oil, gas, power, renewables, technology, and finance-to shape a secure, just, and sustainable energy future.
