Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) has been recognised for its pioneering role in oilfield development projects at the 9th Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES), which was held in Abuja last week.

The award for "Best Oilfield Development Projects" applauds SNEPCo's leadership in Nigeria's deep-water sector, having commenced production in 2005 at Bonga field, Nigeria's first development in water depths of more than 1,000 meters.

There have been further developments in the field, including the Bonga Northwest project, which came on stream in 2015. The NIES award comes as work progresses on the Bonga North project on which FID was taken in December 2024.

SNEPCo managing director Ronald Adams commented: "We're pleased at the latest recognition of our leading role in developing Nigeria's deep-water oil and gas resources. With the support of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd, co-venture partners, and our hardworking staff, we will continue to operate safely and deliver consistent value as we power progress in Nigeria."

The Nigeria International Energy Summit is a major gathering of stakeholders in the global energy sector, with this year's edition featuring more than 5,000 participants from over 30 countries, including ministers, CEOs and experts.

The theme of the four-day event was: "Energy for Peace and Prosperity: Securing Our Shared Future."
