The forum had key stakeholders including trade partners, distributors, auto garages, haulage companies and spares parts dealers in presence, and provided an opportunity for industry players to examine global best practices and trends as well as explore the issues and opportunities within the oil and gas sector. 
 

During the forum, Hyde Energy conferred its lubricant range that cuts across synthetic, multigrade, and monograde oils to industrial oils and greases. The lubricants are formulated and blended to the greatest standards to meet the needs of consumers across Sub-Saharan Africa for use in their industrial and transport machines including but not limited to petrol and light diesel engines, industrial and heavy-duty diesel engines, and special-purpose engines.
 

Speaking about the launch of the lubricant product range, the Chief Executive of Hyde Energy, Oladimeji Edwards said, “Hyde Energy was established in 2012 as an indigenous global petroleum company to meet the growing energy needs of Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. In line with our vision to improve the customer experience, we started operations with an aim to ensure quality and excellence in the products and service delivery we provide to all stakeholders.”
 

“We have now growing our portfolio and network to ensure we are providing revolutionary solutions and indulging value throughout the oil and petroleum products value chain as we provide energy to keep you going from one day to the next,” Edwards added. 
 

Also commenting at the forum, the Regional Sales Manager and Head of Lubricants, Hyde Energy, Victor Nwakaku said that product and service offerings at Hyde Energy are structured based on the company’s deep understanding of the costumers and operating environment. He further said, “At Hyde Energy, we have a strong belief that using the right lubricant is a vital element in auto care, this is why we have devoted our time, expertise and innovation to creating a high-quality range of lubricants suitable for all kinds of petrol and diesel automobile engines.”
 

“These lubricants are produced under the highest quality conditions using materials that meet global standards. We are positive in introducing the newly launched Luminor and Maximus series to the market because they were conceived as industry solutions which will guarantee optimum engine performance,” Nwakaku said. 
 

The Luminor product range is passenger car motor oil, while the Maximus range is heavy-duty diesel engine oil which both feature a series of grades and are packaged in 1litre, 4litre, 5litre, and 25litre dark grey, uniquely shaped containers with special safety and tamper-proof features to ensure product quality throughout distribution. The range of Hyde lubricants is carefully developed to serve numerous benefits including reducing friction and wear, enhancing protection for the machine, keeping temperatures low to reduce the risk of heat-related damage to the machine, improving engine life span, efficiency, and reliability culminating in significant cost reduction.
 

The Luminor ZS9 which is at the zenith of the Luminor series was the product in focus at the forum. Being a fully synthetic engine oil with the most advanced protection for all modern engines, the Luminor ZS9 with its extended drainage intervals, (lasts three times longer), allows the machine to perform effectively for over 18,000 km resulting in huge cost savings for the customers. It also delivers priceless benefits including a better high and low-temperature viscosity performance at service temperature extremes, better chemical and shear stability, decreased evaporative loss, and resistance to oxidation and oil sludge. In addition to this, customers are sure of improved fuel economy, reduced engine wear, and increased engine efficiency. 

Hyde Energy also provides value-added services to its lubricant partners including the Hyde Lubricant Monitoring Program which offers Oil Analysis As-A-Service; Lubricants surveys & training as well as Marketing support such as branding, POS materials, and marketing campaigns.
