NCDMB Strengthens Energy Collaboration with China at International Summit

The Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) has taken significant steps to bolster its energy collaboration with China by participating in the 15th China Shale Oil and Gas Summit. The event, which took place from September 20 to 23, 2026, at the Chengdu Century City International Conference Centre, gathered industry leaders and stakeholders to discuss advancements and innovations in shale oil and gas production.

At the summit, NCDMB representatives engaged in discussions aimed at exploring new technologies and investment opportunities within the oil and gas sector. The Board's participation is part of a broader strategy to enhance Nigeria's energy capabilities and attract foreign investments that could lead to sustainable development in the country's hydrocarbon resources.

“Our participation in this summit is crucial for fostering international collaboration and sharing best practices,” said an NCDMB official who attended the conference. “China has made significant strides in shale gas extraction, and we believe that learning from their experiences will benefit Nigeria's energy landscape.”

This engagement with Chinese counterparts is expected to pave the way for future partnerships, including technology transfer and joint ventures, which are essential for optimizing Nigeria’s oil and gas production. As the global energy landscape evolves, Nigeria aims to position itself as a key player by leveraging international alliances.
