\u201cAnd we have been fully supported by the NNPC (now NNPC Limited) who are in transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are here to continue to propagate, advocate and advance technology that has led to Nigeria being the only country in Sub-Saharan Africa with a robust exploration and production service industry,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the chairman, OTC gives attendees access to leading-edge technical information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOther benefits include gaining access by organisations to the latest industry news, a presence at one of the world\u2019s largest oil and gas events and access to networking opportunities with professional contacts from across the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNetworking with the upstream, midstream and downstream organisations as well as high profiled government officials and key decision makers in the industry are some of the benefits of the outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201d The conference will give participants the opportunity to build and establish new leads as well as entrenching a global presence in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt will enable them get familiar with competitors\u2019 capabilities to stay ahead in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Odinuwe said that PETAN had been responsible for leading and hosting the Nigerian government agencies, stakeholders, oil and gas companies and investors at the OTC yearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that among the reasons for OTC was to deliver a unique experience for exhibitors and delegates to interact with global professionals as they share their insights on technological advances, energy transition, safety, environmentally focused solutions, and economic and regulatory impacts of the offshore energy sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOrganisations\u2019 attendance will create a chance to develop business relationships and tap into emerging regions that are vital to offshore development as well as obtaining recognition necessary for growth and visibility to thousands across the globe,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
