Shell Sees Bright Future For Nigerian Companies In Offshore Developments(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Ltd (SNEPCo) has said Nigerian companies have a lot to benefit if they are prepared to take advantage of more opportunities in its offshore and shallow water oil and gas projects. “SNEPCo pioneered Nigeria’s deepwater frontier with the Bonga development as the first deepwater oilfield exploration and production venture in the country,” Adams said in remarks delivered by Head Supply Chain, Charles Oranyeli. “Our operations have greatly benefitted Nigerian businesses, and we expect them to get ready to take up more opportunities.” he stated. Adams said Nigerian companies could upscale their skills and continue to offer services in logistics, drilling, fabrication and construction of subsea manifolds, mooring and loading systems, pressure vessels and provision of gas processing equipment in deep-water, as well as procurement and civil works in shallow water. The efforts have enabled Nigerian companies to play prominent roles in the safe and efficient operations of the Bonga Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel which produced the 1-billionth barrel of oil from the field on February 3, 2023.
