• Unpacking the road to 3 million barrels and the refining restart for separating credible targets from rhetoric, to plan against realistic capacity scenarios.
• Connecting the digitalisation agenda to national investment priorities for spotting where capital will flow, to position your business early.
• Examining Petroleum Industry Act implementation, fiscal terms and infrastructure constraints for understanding what will accelerate or stall your projects, to commit capital with fewer surprises.

• Tracing one programme from first pilot to live operation for seeing the full timeline rather than the highlight reel, to set realistic expectations inside your own business.
• Detailing the data, integration and vendor decisions that mattered most for learning which choices proved irreversible, to avoid the ones that cost most to undo.
• Quantifying what changed on the asset for putting numbers against the investment, to build a business case your board will approve.

• Breaking down where the $20 billion committed across 43 approved field development plans lands, from deepwater and gas to refining and brownfield, for targeting the right opportunities, to focus business development where budgets exist.
• Debating what operators will actually buy in the next 24 months for cutting through vendor hype, to shape offers that win.
• Weighing partnership models between international technology firms and Nigerian suppliers for meeting local content requirements, to enter the market compliantly.

• Comparing real Nigerian and international deployments across upstream, refining and gas processing for learning what worked and what failed, to avoid repeating expensive mistakes.
• Quantifying the production, throughput and cost impact of AI at scale for strengthening the internal business case, to unlock budget from leadership.
• Confronting data quality, connectivity and talent constraints for planning around operational realities, to move from pilot to production.

• Hearing directly from operators what they need from global partners for aligning offers with real demand, to build partnerships that outlast one project.
• Examining remote operations and digital twin models in deepwater developments for derisking complex projects, to improve economics before FID.
• Exploring technology transfer approaches for building domestic capability, to satisfy the NOGICD Act while delivering world-class projects.

• Selecting the equipment and failure modes worth instrumenting first for concentrating effort where downtime hurts most, to show a return inside one budget cycle.
• Working with the data you already have for starting without a two-year cleansing programme, to reach a result before executive attention moves elsewhere.
• Measuring uptime, intervention cost and deferred production for proving value in operational terms, to secure funding for the next asset.

• Watching live demonstrations instead of slide pitches for judging solutions on evidence, to shortlist vendors with confidence.
• Anchoring every demo to a named Nigerian operator problem for keeping relevance high, to leave with options you can apply

• Understanding why technically sound tools get quietly abandoned in the field for identifying the real barriers to adoption, to design around them from the start.
• Building the operating routines, ownership and training that keep a system running for embedding it beyond the vendor contract, to protect the investment after go-live.
• Handling the workforce conversation honestly for holding trust through a change programme, to keep the people who make it work.

• Applying advanced process control and predictive maintenance across gas processing, LNG and refining for improving uptime and throughput, to protect contracted delivery.
• Monitoring pipeline integrity and product movement across the midstream network for detecting losses earlier, to protect volume and margin.
• Tackling metering, custody transfer and product losses at terminals and depots for closing the accountability gap, to recover margin that is currently leaking.
• Sizing new industrial gas demand, including the Lagos data-centre build-out, for identifying bankable offtake, to convert interest into contracts.

• Automating contracting and supplier onboarding for cutting the months between award and mobilisation, to get technology into the field faster.
• Interpreting the NOGICD Act for digital services and software for clarifying what compliance actually requires, to avoid contract delays and penalties.
• Building partnership models between global vendors and Nigerian firms for growing domestic capacity, to keep value in-country while satisfying local content.

Move from presentation to problem-solving in these highly interactive, expert-led roundtables. Each roundtable covers a different topic, allowing attendees to choose the discussion most relevant to them. Roundtable leaders open with a brief 10-minute introduction and a short overview of the topic, which can include a case study, lessons learned, or an industry update. This is followed by a 25-minute peer discussion, with the leader facilitating questions, feedback, and practical exchange. The final 10 minutes are dedicated to agreeing five clear recommendations per table. Recommendations from all nine tables are compiled and circulated to every delegate after the conference, rather than read back from the stage. Choose one topic that aligns with your most urgent priority.
