Subsurface Opportunities in Nigeria

Riley Smith, OPC Middle East Manager, has just returned from a 2 week trip to Lagos and reports on opportunities for subsurface engineers in the country.

“During my visit I presented to more than a dozen business and there is a significant appetite from oil companies in Nigeria for local technical support. We have set the business up in a way that allows Nigerian oil companies, both international and indigenous, to access our world class subsurface engineering services though our very own local team of experts in Lagos, who will be well supported by our international offices. ”
