Total Energies Moves To Achieve Global Mandate On Renewable Energy 

A major sponsor of the just-concluded 40th Annual Conference of the Nigeria Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE), TotalEnergies, has in line with the conference theme, “Global Energy Transition and The Future of the Oil and Gas Industry: Evolving Regulations, Emerging Concepts and Opportunity”,  presented a major paper on Health Safety and Environment’s Role in Climate Change, with the topic, “Ocean Bottom Nodes Seismic for Better Field Management”.
Delivering the paper, TotalEnergies’  HSE Performance Coordinator, Ejiro  Erharhaghen, noted that  the industry has been encumbered by operational and or cost limitations.
He said the relatively new Ocean Bottom Node(OBN) technology, could significantly reduce the logistical encumbrances.
Furthermore, he hinted that the evolution of OBN technology enables the improvement of subsurface imaging bring about higher returns on investment, improved risk reduction and accelerate the pace of unlocking the prize.
The company also held technical sessions at its Exhibition Booth, where a large turnout of students, business people, investors and visitors were educated about the company, while the technical experts through different sessions, dealt with topics relating to the theme of the conference.
Visitors to the TotalEnergies booth were also lectured on topics covering maters relating to jobs opportunities and career placements, contract and procurement requirements, Corporate Social Responsibility and Health and Medical issues in the company.
In another highly technical presentation on Acquisition, Processing 3D and 4D Joint Inversion – Egina Field Case Study, the company  gave details of its exploration activities on the Egina field in  conformity with the standards and regulations that meet global best practices.
The event which had major key players in the Oil and Gas industry from both local and international platforms, exhibited their products and services.
The conference started with a management session highlighting on the Decade of Gas Initiative, where experts contributed diversely on factors to improve the Lower Carbon Drive in the country.
Earlier in his opening remarks,  the President of NAPE, Dr James Edet,  said, “The Lower carbon drive is a challenge of this present age, and we have, at this event aligned critical stakeholders to deliberate and present workable collaborative solutions to our industry and also shared their current learnings as we continue to adapt to this green revolution.”
“Furthermore, there are other contending and increasingly relevant issues such as: energy security; the dynamics of gas development, commercialisation and monetisation; development of Nigeria’s under-explored gas rich cretaceous basins; and how Nigeria will adapt her policies and diversify her energy portfolio in the energy transition era so as to achieve sustainable growth for her economy,” he added.
