OES Presents to National Content Development
Local Content or Nigerian
Content (as the case may
be) is no doubt a widely
accepted concept in the oil and
gas industry. However
implementing its objectives is a
major responsibility that has
been vested on all players –both
local and international – in the
industry. One indigenous
company that has the capacity
to operate according to the local
content dictates in terms of local
development of technical
expertise is Oando Energy
Services Limited (OESL).
Driven by an indigenous
management team, Oando
Energy Services Limited (OESL)
is a wholly owned indigenous
drilling company that operates in
Nigeria. With the acquisition of
five drilling rigs, construction of
mud plants in Onne and the huge
supply of drill bits all sourced
within the country, it has
demonstrated its commitment to
the National Content initiative of
the Federal Government. To
enhance its image and create
awareness of the support it has
given National Content initiative
to date, a team of OESL
Management paid a courtesy
visit to the Management of the
National Content Development
Division at the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation in Abuja.
It highlighted the strength of its
assets, its technical capability
as well as its management team.
This very impressive and
commendable presentation got
the attention of the NCD team and
they promised their
wholehearted support to OESL in
tackling some of the challenges
highlighted during the course of
the presentation.
Mr. Sola Falodun led the OESL
team comprising Dr. Olushola
Ismail, Samuel Umeh while
Olasunmbo Olajubu provided
necessary business
communication support.
