The Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists (NAPE) is the successor to the Society of Geologists and Geophysicists, Lagos (SGGL), an earlier gathering of petroleum earth scientists in Lagos, Nigeria, in the mid-1970s. The SGGL itself was the brainchild of a young Mobil geologist, Akomeno Oteri, who got the idea from visiting Dallas and attending the monthly meeting of SEG there.

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
