He said: “Nigeria must not be left out of the developments in the downstream sector; this is why we carry out such training for various organisations at no cost. We have done this every year for the past 15 years, empowering participants with the requisite knowledge to guarantee the production of top quality lubricants for automobiles and industries in Nigeria.”

  • Eunisell bags HSE excellence award

    Oil and gas firm, Eunisell Solutions, has bagged an award for its Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) standards, and for its contribution to the achievement of 150,000 man hours lost time injury (LTI) free operations in Qua Iboe marginal oil field in Akwa Ibom State.

    The award, presented by the Executive Director, Network E & P, Chief Olugbemide to Eunisell Solutions was witnessed by elders of the host community, management of Network E & P and that of Eunisell.

    Chief Executive Officer, Eunisell Solutions, Mr. Dickson Okotie, described the recognition as the result of hard work and professionalism.

    “It is an honour to be recognised for professionalism, especially by your client. What we did in Qua Iboe has never been done in Nigeria; to build an oil production facility from scratch to first oil within 180 days on a marginal field, with the highest level of health and safety standards obtainable anywhere in the world is no joke. I’ll like to dedicate this recognition to our men on the field who work day and night to ensure that this project remains safe, successful and a profitable one for Network,” he said.

    The Executive Director, Network E&P, owner and operator of OML 11 in Qua Iboe, Akwa Ibom State, Chief Olagbemide, eulogised the company for not dropping its standards since the inception of the project.

    He noted that Eunisell not limited by its status as an indigenous oil and gas firm, surpassed all expectations and complied with safety standards in accordance with international best practices.

    Oil production began from the facility in March, last year and managed by Eunisell on a contractor financed basis for Network E&P Network, holder of the asset and Oando Energy Resources, a 40 percent working interest holder in the field.

  • Eunisell displays technical competence

    Africa oil and gas firm, Eunisell has restated its commitment to support local content in the oil and gas industry, particularly among marginal field operators in the country, with a view to early production from oil and gas marginal fields.

    In an interaction during a technical session at the Society for Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Conference and Exhibition in Lagos, the General Manager of the company, Engr. Patrick O’Callaghan stated that the changing times in the oil and gas industry now requires companies to embrace partnership, and innovation, if they must stay profitable.

    “The dwindling oil price is a major topic here today, companies are cutting cost and so the modus operandi has to change in many ways as finance, cash flow, releasing value from stranded assets, have become some of major concerns of operators today.  This is one of the reasons we are at the conference and exhibition to show stakeholders our central production facility which was built for Network exploration and production in record time of 90 days from which significant quantities of oil from the field have been produced within the last five  months,” he said.

    He stated that a combination of modular construction processes and lease, operate, and own agreement has been a good choice for the field owner who is reaping the benefits of a producing asset while spreading the capital costs required.

    “During the option period, the operator enjoys a reliable operation, gains valuable insight into his production profile, and can effectively manage his cost of managing, operating, and running the facility. This provides the opportunity to build equity that can be invested in adding additional assets,” he said. O’Callaghan added that about a month ago, the company recorded 100,000 man hours at one of its facilities without any loss time incident which he attributed to the professionalism, quality of staff and a sound health and safety policy of the company.
