Bell Oil & Gas says it is looking forward to commissioning a multi-million-dollar, integrated facility, located at the Lekki Free Zone in the eastern flank of Lagos, Nigeria.
The facility is on a site with a total size of over 15,000 square metres, according to Kayode Thomas, the company’s CEO.
The first phase of the project “comprises state-of-the-art valve assembly, maintenance, testing, painting and production”, which will deliver “Made in Nigeria valves for the oil and gas industry”, Thomas explains.
The second phase of the facility is for piping, pipe threading, machining and production of pup joints, crossovers and accessories. Thomas says that commissioning is at hand. “The facility will also accommodate our composite pipe fabrication services as well as serve as a storage and logistics base for our entire operation”
Bell Oil & Gas is a Nigerian owned service company which produces, supplies, installs, commissions and maintains a range of composite pipes. It is involved in some of the country’s ongoing large E&P projects including TOTALEnergies’ Ikike oilfield development, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG)’s Train 7 construction and the ANOH Gas Processing Company’s ANOH midstream gas processing project. It is looking forward to participate in such future projects as the Shell led Bonga Southwest/Aparo, a deepwater oil field project.
MEANWHILE, IN PORT HARCOURT, THE LARGEST CITY IN THE NIGER DELTA BASIN, Tag Energy says it will commence the construction of a 3,000 square feet factory for the design, production, and repair of valves of all types and sizes by the year 2025.
The company ordinarily does flange management services; providing solutions for bolting requirements, including torquing, tensioning, stress analysis, and joint integrity quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC), with services catering to “high-integrity sealing of flange joints at chemical plants, refineries and offshore installations, as well as general industrial sites”.
Tag also supplies, services and repairs valves, mostly in engineering facilities in the oil industry. As the company builds the manufacturing facility, it has taken charge, as part of its CSR, of training young people in the eastern Niger Delta at its new valve service centre in Port Harcourt. Tag will “offer paid internships to qualifying students to produce a steady stream of skilled resources for the industry, further reducing our dependence on foreigners for ongoing maintenance and support activities”, says Yemi Gbadamosi, the company’s Chief Executive
