- Dangote Refinery Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Joins South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) 2026 as $1.8B Kenya Expansion Opens Regional Distribution OpportunitiesDangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals is expanding its footprint across East Africa, with a $16 billion refinery planned in Kenya and a $335 million investment in Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC). As these developments open new opportunities for regional petroleum trade, the company's CEO and Managing Director David Bird has joined the South Sudan Oil & Power (SSOP) 2026 conference as a speaker. Taking place in Juba on November 24-25, SSOP returns for its seventh edition as the nation’s premier platform for investment, dealmaking and policy. Bird’s participation comes as South Sudan looks to translate its resource potential into renewed exploration, higher production and greater participation in regional petroleum value chains. With major downstream investment reshaping East Africa's energy market, SSOP 2026 offers an opportunity for producers, refiners and investors to establish the partnerships needed to advance regional energy trade and unlock new commercial opportunities. The event arrives at a strategic time for Dangote. On September 30, the company officially broke ground on a 700,000-barrel-per-day (bpd) refinery in Lamu, Kenya. Set to come online in 2029, the facility is designed to supply gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to East African markets, with regional governments offered a combined 30% stake in the project. The project aims to replicate Dangote’s 650,000-bpd Nigerian facility, which is currently operating at full capacity and is set to expand to 1.2 million bpd. A delegation from South Sudan attended the Lamu groundbreaking ceremony, underscoring the country’s commitment to strengthening regional petroleum ties. https://apo-opa.co/4zQaHcU Beyond the Lamu facility, Dangote is strengthening its footprint across East Africa’s distribution networks. Just this month, the company acquired a 25% stake in KPC, securing access to established infrastructure transporting petroleum products from Kenya's coast to regional markets, including Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Following the $335 million transaction, Dangote plans to invest an additional $1.5 billion to expand KPC’s approximately 1,300-km pipeline network, bringing its total planned investment to $1.8 billion. https://apo-opa.co/4zS8fCN For South Sudan, East Africa's only established commercial crude oil producer, Dangote's expansion introduces new opportunities for regional petroleum integration. The country holds approximately 3.5 billion barrels of proven oil reserves and is seeking to increase production through new exploration, redevelopment of mature fields and investment in supporting infrastructure. While no crude supply agreement between South Sudan and Dangote has been announced, the development of additional regional refining capacity could create opportunities for future feedstock supply arrangements, subject to commercial viability, infrastructure and crude compatibility. Bird brings extensive experience across refining, petrochemicals and integrated energy infrastructure to SSOP 2026. Before joining Dangote in 2025, he served as CEO of OQ8, the $9.5 billion Duqm refinery joint venture in Oman, overseeing the development and commissioning of major refining, pipeline and terminal infrastructure. He also held senior leadership positions at Shell, spanning upstream production, downstream operations and global energy supply chains. His participation at SSOP 2026 will bring expertise in large-scale refining investment, project delivery and regional petroleum market development to discussions on South Sudan's next phase of growth. https://apo-opa.co/3WotMnT As the country's official energy event, held in partnership with the Ministry of Petroleum, SSOP 2026 provides a platform for advancing discussions around regional trade, refining and infrastructure investment. The conference brings together international and national oil companies, refiners, trading companies, infrastructure developers, financiers and technology providers to negotiate partnerships, mobilize investment and connect South Sudan's petroleum resources with regional and international markets.

- MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2026 Day One to Showcase Basin’s Next Wave of Energy ProjectsSenegal and its neighbours are moving into a new phase of energy development as major oil and gas projects advance toward production, gas infrastructure expands and governments look to turn resource wealth into broader industrial growth. Day One of MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2026 will bring these priorities together, with a program focused on investment, project development, regional cooperation and the commercial opportunities emerging across the MSGBC basin. Taking place December 1-3 at the Centre International de Conférences Abdou Diouf (CICAD) in Dakar, Senegal, the fifth edition of the conference and exhibition will connect policymakers, energy companies, investors, financiers and technical partners from across Mauritania, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea-Conakry. Day One of the event – taking place on December 2 – will open with a Presidential and Ministerial programme led by H.E. Bassirou Diomaye Faye, President of Senegal. Senior representatives from the African Energy Chamber, Gas Exporting Countries Forum, African Petroleum Producers’ Organization, bp and Woodside will join the opening, setting the policy and investment context for discussions on the basin’s growing role in global energy markets. A Ministerial Dialogue will then bring together energy leaders from Senegal, Mauritania, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea-Conakry to examine how the region can accelerate exploration and production while developing the infrastructure needed to monetize its natural gas resources. Regional integration, cross-border cooperation, innovation and storage will form part of the discussion as governments work to translate resource development into energy security and economic growth. The investment agenda will continue with the CEO Regional Leadership Panel, “Is MSGBC the Next Global Gas Hotspot?” Executives from companies including bp, Chevron, Energean, Woodside Energy and Africa Finance Corporation will consider what is driving investment into the region’s gas sector and how MSGBC markets can compete for international capital. The program will then turn to the basin’s resource potential and project pipeline. “The Future of the MSGBC Basin: Where the Next Billion Barrels and Trillions of Cubic Feet Will Come From” will examine emerging exploration opportunities, followed by “From Discovery to Development: Projects Moving Toward FID,” highlighting projects approaching final investment decisions and the milestones needed to unlock financing. Natural gas will take center stage in “Gas as the Engine of Regional Transformation,” with discussions covering gas-powered electrification, regional gas markets, transmission infrastructure and the role of gas in supporting fertilizer, petrochemical and industrial development. The commercial focus will continue through strategic dealmaking and signing ceremonies, where announcements and agreements will cover upstream partnerships, infrastructure investments, financing arrangements and energy cooperation frameworks. The day will culminate in the MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power Gala Dinner & Awards Ceremony, bringing together government officials, investors and industry leaders for an evening of networking and recognition. Following a full day of policy discussions, investment dialogue and commercial activity, the Gala will provide a further opportunity to build relationships with the companies and institutions shaping the region’s energy future. With major projects now requiring capital, infrastructure and strategic partnerships to move into their next stages, Day One will showcase the MSGBC region as an increasingly important destination for energy investment and a market where resource development is being linked directly to regional economic growth. MSGBC Oil, Gas & Power 2026 takes place December 1-3 at the CICAD in Dakar, Senegal, under the High Patronage of President Bassirou Diomaye Faye.

- P&G, Nestle, Mars, AstraZeneca, ITC and Bekaert win OMP Supply Chain AwardsCompanies: Procter & GambleAstraZenecaNestléANTWERPEN, BELGIUM, Oct 22, 2026 - OMP, a leader in AI-powered supply chain solutions, recently honored six global brands at its conferences held earlier this month in Singapore and Shanghai. The recognized companies - Procter & Gamble (P&G), Nestlé, Mars, AstraZeneca, ITC, and Bekaert - were celebrated for driving decision velocity, co-innovation, and impactful business results. Supply Chain Innovation & Excellence Award: Nestlé and Bekaert Nestlé, one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, and Bekaert, a global market and technology leader in material science of steel wire transformation and coating technologies, received OMP's Supply Chain Innovation & Excellence award for their breadth of deployment and depth of co-innovation. Nestlé aligns its supply network at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels on OMP's Unison Planning™ platform, connecting forecasting, planning, and replenishment end-to-end. As more routine work becomes touchless, planners can focus on the decisions that drive the business, and Nestlé continues to roll out best practices throughout the organization. Bekaert integrated scenario planning directly into its S&OP, shifting teams from reactive firefighting to proactive, value-driven conversations. In its green hydrogen business, what-if modeling protects mid- and long-term strategic control. Furthermore, planners use Unison Companion, OMP's generative AI assistant, to generate tables, compare scenarios, and retrieve information in natural language. "This award recognizes the ongoing transformation of our end-to-end supply chain planning," says Bo Yang, Senior Manager, Global Supply Chain Process Management at Bekaert Rubber Reinforcement. "We've moved from manual Excel calculations and individual experience to standardized planning on OMP's Unison Planning™ platform. Our decisions are now backed by data, and our planning accuracy has improved significantly." Long-Term Partnership Award: P&G and AstraZeneca P&G, with operations in approximately 70 countries, joins global biopharma leader AstraZeneca in accepting the award for proving that value compounds the longer the partnership runs. P&G celebrates 27 years of partnership with OMP dating back to 1999, and operates a planning network spanning more than 100 manufacturing sites and 200 distribution centers. The company has consolidated overlapping planning processes, with the majority of planning now handled touchlessly. "Receiving OMP's Long-Term Partnership Award reflects years of trust and teamwork between our teams," says Jen Aberilla, Director, Regional Supply Network Operations Planning at P&G. "We're proud of what we've achieved together and look forward to building on it." AstraZeneca has been working with OMP since 2021, replacing siloed, spreadsheet-based planning with a single capacity-constrained network plan. Most recently, the company has been collaborating with OMP on AI‑driven planning and advanced scenario modeling, allowing planners to focus on scenarios and exceptions. This has resulted in improved supply reliability and service levels, inventory reduction, and productivity savings. Community Engagement Award: Mars and ITC ITC's Paperboards & Specialty Papers Division, part of the Indian multi-business enterprise ITC Limited, and Mars, a global giant in confectionery, food products, and pet care services, received the Community Engagement Award for their active role in OMP Community events and councils. ITC was recognized for its commitment to openly sharing its planning transformation with the wider supply chain community. By presenting its experience to industry peers, ITC has given them a candid look at how its journey unfolds in practice, with lessons other planning teams can apply. Mars is a committed participant in the OMP Community councils and in governance through the executive board. Working with OMP, Mars has lowered inventory, consolidated its warehouse network, improved factory equipment effectiveness, and increased forecast accuracy. "The world's most demanding manufacturers plan with OMP, and it is a privilege to see those relationships deepen over 10, 20, and 27 years. The results they achieve through this community are concrete: inventory goes down, forecast accuracy goes up, and decisions happen faster. Congratulations to each of them!" says Philip Vervloesem, Chief Commercial and Markets Officer at OMP.
