Chevron Returns to African Energy Week 2022 as Bronze Sponsor

Global energy major Chevron has been confirmed as a bronze sponsor of the African Energy Week (AEW) (www.AECWeek.com) 2022 conference and exhibition, Africa’s premier event for the oil and gas sector which will take place from 18 – 21 October 2022. Representing one of the world’s biggest integrated energy companies, the participation of Chevron as a bronze sponsor will be critical for shaping discussions around the continent’s energy future while reaffirming the event’s position as Africa’s premier energy event.

Since entrance into the African energy market in 1913 with the launch of exploration and production operations in Nigeria, the major has been instrumental in expanding the continent’s energy developments through massive investments across the upstream, midstream and downstream segments. Chevron’s expansion in some of Africa’s leading hydrocarbon-producing countries including Nigeria, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Benin and the Republic of Congo has not only positioned Africa as a top hydrocarbons market but accelerated economic development through GDP growth and employment creation.

In Nigeria, the firm’s 40% interest in eight concessions across the Niger Delta and licenses for exploration and production in nine deep water blocks have been critical for boosting the west African country’s energy status over the past several decades.
