TotalEnergies’ flagship Egina deepwater project has clinched the Best Offshore Development Project award at the ongoing 9th Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES 2026), underscoring Nigeria’s growing prowess in offshore oil and gas innovation.
The oil company’s award was announced at the NIES 2016 Gala and Award Night held at the State House, Abuja, on Tuesday.
According to the organisers, the award is instituted to celebrate technical excellence, operational efficiency, and sustainable delivery of Nigeria’s offshore hydrocarbon reserves.
TotalEnergies was honoured for the Egina deepwater project, hailed as one of Africa’s most successful offshore developments.
Delivering up to 200,000 barrels per day, Egina was praised for its engineering brilliance, operational precision, and deep integration of Nigerian content. The project created thousands of local jobs, transferred advanced technical skills, and maximised national resource recovery.
The citation described Egina as “not just a facility, but a symbol of what is possible when global expertise meets local capability.” The award was presented by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, and received on behalf of the company by Mathew Bouyer, managing director of TotalEnergies EP Nigeria, who led the company’s delegation.
With this recognition, TotalEnergies reaffirmed its role as a leading partner in Nigeria’s energy sector, demonstrating how strategic collaboration and local content integration can deliver world-class projects that empower a nation.
