  "account": "Sterling Oil Exploration & Energy Production Company Limited (SEEPCO) has been honored with the government-private partner of the year award at the 2026 Nigerian Association of Energy Correspondents (NAEC) annual conference. The recognition comes for its security support vessel project in collaboration with the Nigerian Navy. This is SEEPCO's second consecutive win from the association, with the company previously being named the Sustainability Company of the Year in 2025. The award highlights SEEPCO's partnership aimed at boosting marine security and safeguarding upstream oil and gas assets. The project involves the KALI Series Security Support Vessels, manufactured in Delta State in a partnership with the Nigerian Navy. These vessels are strategically deployed to augment naval capabilities and secure vital energy infrastructure in the Niger Delta. At the conference, industry stakeholders underscored that insecurity and asset vandalism continue to pose significant threats to oil and gas production and investment. Thus, collaborations between operators and government entities have become crucial for maintaining operational continuity.",
