Energy institute backs offshore oil forum

The Energy Institute Nigeria has confirmed a strategic partnership with Offshore West Africa Conference and Exhibition, owned and produced by PennWell Corporation, for the upcoming 20th anniversary edition, including the implementation of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme as part of the overall conference.

Taking place on 26‐28 January 2016 at the Eko Hotel & Suites, Lagos, Nigeria, the 20th yearly Offshore West Africa will build on the success of the 2015 event, which also took place in Lagos, which attracted a record breaking international audience of almost 2,400 leading oil and gas industry professionals from more than 30 countries worldwide.

Further enhancing PennWell’s plans for Corporate Social Responsibility, alongside planned Youth Programmes, the announced addition of a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme once again shows the events commitment to leaving a legacy within its host country.
