bp Confirmed as Platinum Sponsor at MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2023

August 11, 2023

Energy Capital & Power (ECP) is proud to announce that British-based global energy major bp has joined the third edition of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2023 Conference & Exhibition as a platinum sponsor. Held in Nouakchott from November 21-22, the event will see bp’s Executive Vice President: Production & Operations Gordon Birrell deliver a keynote speech, providing a summary of the company’s progress and achievements on the various projects undertaken in the MSGBC basin.

Energy major bp has been active in Mauritania and Senegal since 2017 following the discovery of a gas field straddling the maritime border of the two countries. Since then, the company has kicked off several ambitious developments in collaboration with international energy firm Kosmos Energy, Mauritania’s National Oil Company (NOC) Société Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbures and Senegal’s NOC Société des Pétroles du Sénégal.

bp is currently developing the Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) multiphase Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project. The innovative first phase of the project involves a multi-billion-dollar investment to establish the region as a world-class gas province and a major LNG hub. First gas for this project is expected to come online in Q1 2024. The second phase will double production capacity to five million tons of LNG per year, with the project partners finalizing the development concept earlier this year. Production for Phase 2 is slated for 2027.

In Senegal, bp holds sizeable stakes in two offshore blocks: Saint-Louis Offshore Profond and Cayar Offshore Profond. The company’s commitment extends to exploring growth opportunities, including the Yakaar Teranga gas project, aiming to provide energy for domestic needs. In Mauritania, the company is undertaking a feasibility study for the BirAllah gas field.

During the event this November, Birrell will provide insight into bp’s projects and growth agenda in the MSGBC region.

“We welcome bp as a platinum sponsor at MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2023, the third edition of the region’s foremost energy conference. Having sponsored previous editions, bp is committed to playing an important role in reaffirming the energy sector’s attractiveness and driving large-scale, impactful developments,” states Sandra Jeque, International Conference Director at MSGBC event organizer, ECP.

Nigeria’s Energy Capital & Power Signs Long-Term Partnership Agreement with Senegal’s Petrosen

February 21, 2022

Senegal’s national oil and gas company has signed a development and cooperation agreement with Africa’s leading investment platform for the energy sector. The ECP is responsible for the organization of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference & Exhibition, developed under the patronage of H.E. Macky Sall, President of the Republic of Senegal.

ECP will, from now on, be integrated in an event committee led by Petrosen, which will allow further collaboration in the organization of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference & Exhibition as well as other initiatives.
The new agreement will see Energy Capital & Power (ECP) build a deeper relationship with the NOC, participating in a number of initiatives to promote the country’s energy sector throughout the year.

Energy Capital & Power, Africa’s leading investment platform for the energy sector and the organizers of West Africa’s largest energy event, the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference and Exhibition, has signed a partnership agreement with Senegal’s national oil company, Petrosen, that will see the two entities deepen ties as they collaborate to promote the energy sectors of the country, and the MSGBC Region as a whole.

Following the largely successful first edition of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference and Exhibition, organized by ECP, this partnership comes as a milestone for the two entities whose vision is to promote the MSGBC Basin’s attractiveness to international investors at a time when new developments have primed the region as a world-class opportunity for production and exploration.

In the wake of the hugely successful first edition of the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Conference and Exhibition in December 2021, ECP has been continuously developing initiatives to promote the development of Senegal, its energy sector, and fundamentally, its people, with the company maintaining its close and fundamental partnership with H.E. President Macky Sall. The growing relationship with Petrosen is only a natural extension of those very efforts.

“We cannot overestimate the importance of this partnership for Senegal in particular and for the MSGBC region as a whole. ECP’s relationship with Petrosen has been nothing short of symbiotic, and I look forward to bringing this success to new highs in the years to come,” says International Conference Director, Sandra Jeque, ECP’s leading name in the Senegalese energy landscape.
