As Nigeria seeks to scale energy production and attract long-term capital, indigenous players like Heirs Energies are playing an increasingly strategic role in unlocking onshore oil and gas reserves, developing critical infrastructure and advancing energy security. Igiehon’s participation will spotlight the opportunities for U.S. investors to engage with Nigeria’s evolving energy landscape and support its path toward sustainable, locally driven growth.

Heirs Energies operates OML 17 in the Niger Delta – a high-potential asset comprising 15 oil and gas fields with significant untapped reserves. As part of its drive to optimize the block, the company recently ramped up production to 53,000 barrels per day, solidifying its position among Nigeria’s leading producers. A well reactivation program is also set to launch, aimed at further boosting output and extending the field’s productive life.

With a long-term goal of expanding across the continent, Heirs Energies is building a scalable, Africa-focused platform that leverages local capacity and responsible operations to drive growth. The company’s model – rooted in transparency, community engagement and strategic reinvestment – offers a compelling case for how African-led energy development can deliver returns for both investors and host nations.

USAEF 2025 will share insights on Nigeria’s upstream investment outlook, opportunities for U.S.-Africa partnerships and the role of indigenous operators in shaping the continent’s energy future. Hosted in Houston – the energy capital of the world – USAEF 2025 serves as the premier platform to drive energy investment between the U.S. and key African markets, with a focus on financing, technology exchange and bilateral cooperation.
