The award is given in recognition of Africa’s indigenous Oil and Gas Companies for their investment and involvement in upstream, midstream and downstream operations.

Phillip Ihenacho, Chief Executive Officer, Seven Energy commented: “We would like to thank Petroleum Africa for this prestigious award. Considering that it was the first time we made the list of finalists, it is a fantastic recognition of all our on-going efforts and achievements during 2014 in contributing to the development of the Nigerian gas market in a responsible way. We are committed in aiding the development of Nigeria’s gas resources, improving power supply and supporting local economic growth. We are proud to receive this award in recognition of all our hard work.”

Seven Energy came top of a list that included other leading indigenous players from countries such as Ghana, Angola, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria after a rigorous review process by Petroleum Africa’s Survey Committee.

Petroleum Africa commended Seven Energy for its “well-executed work program and diversification strategy“ in 2014.
