Midad Energy, Diamond Sponsor of NAPEC 2026 in Oran

Midad Energy took part in NAPEC 2026 as a Diamond Sponsor, one year after signing the Illizi Sud production sharing contract with Sonatrach. The exhibition and conference ran for three days at the Oran Convention Centre (CCO), and Midad Energy’s team was at Stand E8 throughout.

Over the three days, the team met visitors to the exhibition and explored partnership and supply opportunities with companies active in Algeria’s energy sector.

The team also spoke with visitors about Illizi Sud and the stages of the project ahead, from exploration through appraisal to full field development.

Sponsoring NAPEC is part of Midad Energy’s commitment to Algeria’s energy sector since the Illizi Sud signing, alongside the company’s local presence in Algiers through Midad Energy North Africa – Algérie.

About NAPEC

NAPEC is an exhibition and conference for the hydrocarbon and energy sectors of Africa and the Mediterranean. The 2026 edition brought together national and international oil companies, energy companies, EPC contractors, technology and solutions providers, and government representatives. The programme covered the future development of the region’s energy sector, including the energy transition, decarbonisation, carbon capture and hydrogen.

Active in Algeria

Illizi Sud, signed on 13 October 2025, is a 30-year production sharing contract covering the exploration, appraisal and full field development of the Illizi Sud perimeter, around 100 kilometres south of In Amenas, near Algeria’s border with Libya. It opened with an exploration phase, and Midad Energy funds the work in full at every stage, including the exploration risk.

Under the contract, Midad Energy and Sonatrach have committed to environmental compliance, to current technology and digital solutions, and to local content, giving priority to Algerian suppliers and subcontractors. NAPEC brought many of those companies together in one place.
