Heirs Energies to discuss energy sufficiency at US-Africa forum

Heirs Energies, Africa’s largest indigenous-owned integrated energy company, has announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Osa Igiehon, will represent the company at the 2025 US-Africa Energy Forum in Houston, Texas.

The forum will bring together US and African policymakers, financiers, and private sector leaders to discuss investment, innovation, and partnerships shaping Africa’s evolving energy landscape, according to a statement on Monday.

At the forum, Igiehon will deliver an Executive Insight and participate in the Explorers Town Hall session, sharing Heirs Energies’ perspective on how Africa can unlock its full energy potential responsibly and sustainably. The company’s participation will spotlight its bold agenda: driving Africa’s transition from energy deficiency to energy sufficiency.

“At Heirs Energies, we believe Africa’s exploration future will be written in two stories: frontier plays waiting to be unlocked, and brownfield excellence – the careful stewardship of fields that have been producing for decades,” said Igiehon. “Our focus is to show that African-owned companies can responsibly manage these assets, apply world-class standards, and deliver shared prosperity.”

Heirs Energies is investing in infrastructure and innovation to deliver reliable energy for homes, industries, and communities. The company is also advancing gas commercialization efforts, supplying gas to three power plants in Eastern Nigeria, while steadily building the infrastructure to further support Nigeria’s electrification drive.

“Every molecule must count – not just for production, but for powering homes, fueling industry, and setting a benchmark for what indigenous operators can achieve,” Igiehon added.

The US-Africa Energy Forum will focus on creating an enabling environment for investment across hydrocarbons, gas, and renewables. Heirs Energies’ participation signals its commitment to partnerships that can deliver energy security for Africa while aligning with global sustainability goals.
