Alexandria Gazendam, European Director of engineering and construction services company EPCM Holdings, has been confirmed to speak at the MSGBC Oil and Gas Power 2025 conference and exhibition in Dakar, Senegal from December 9th to 10th. Gazendam will join regional and international leaders to discuss gas monetization, infrastructure investment and industrialization strategies that will drive the MSGBC region’s energy future.
EPCM Holdings has emerged as a key infrastructure partner across West Africa, particularly in Mauritania and Senegal, where the company has helped drive projects that bridge the gap between exploration and production while enabling downstream and industrial development.
In Mauritania, EPCM Holdings contracted with the National Institute of Industry and Minières (SNIM) to conduct a feasibility study for a 750 km natural gas pipeline linking the Greater Tortue Armayim and Bir Alla offshore oil fields to the cities of Nouadhibou and Nouakchott. This study, which includes both technical and commercial evaluations, is a vital step towards developing Mauritania’s gas infrastructure and efficiently transporting its estimated 100 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves to domestic and regional markets.
Additionally, EPCM Holdings has supported Mauritania’s Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy and the World Bank in developing the country’s long-term oil and gas master plan. The initiative aims to establish a clear regulatory framework, attract investment and build institutional capacity to promote energy security and industrial growth. Through this initiative, EPCM Holdings has contributed to Mauritania’s broader vision of leveraging its hydrocarbon resources to eliminate energy poverty and promote sustainable economic development.
At MSGBC Oil and Gas Power 2025, Mr. Gazendam is expected to provide an inside perspective on Mauritania’s evolving gas power generation landscape, the ongoing Energy Services Zone Nouakchott (ESZN) project, and the critical role of infrastructure investment in promoting long-term industrialization. The ESZN initiative, introduced during the 2023 edition of the conference, will collaborate with EPCM Holdings and Mean & Mean and Jade Advisory to assess opportunities to anchor new industrial activities around domestic offshore gas potential.
“EPCM Holdings continues to play a leading role in driving innovation and pan-African cooperation in the MSGBC energy market. Their participation provides valuable insight into the infrastructure projects that will shape the energy future of Mauritania and the region,” said Sandra Jeke, Project Director at Energy Capital & Power.
