AOG 2026 - Pre-Conference Workshops

Powered by CITAC

This workshop will explore Africa’s evolution in the global energy matrix, with a focus on security of supply. Drawing on current market trends, it will examine rising oil product demand, the growing importance of refining capacity, the vulnerability of import-dependent supply chains, and the need for investment in pipelines, rail, ports, storage, and strategic stockholding.

For deepwater applications any issue with the blowout preventer (BOP) may cause the need for the BOP to be pulled to surface, generating Non-Productive Time.In order to minimize NPT relating to debris in the BOP and BOP pressure test failures, several major oil and gas companies in Angola have adopted a new approach for BOP cleaning in connection with slot recovery and casing exit, by using a vacuum-based BOP Cleaning system rather than conventional BOP jetting tools.

Participants will gain practical insights into vacuum-based BOP cleaning technology and its role in optimizing BOP cleaning operations. The presentation will demonstrate how this innovative approach can significantly improve cleaning efficiency, reduce costly BOP retrievals, minimize Non-Productive Time (NPT), enhance well integrity, and establish a new benchmark for safe and efficient deep-water operations.
