“On 3rd July 2014, Oilserv received a certificate of commendation from NCDMB and Septa Energy (Now Seven Energy) during the graduation ceremony of Oron Gas Pipeline Project Graduate Engineers training programme held at Swiss International Mabisel Hotel, Trans-amadi, Port Harcourt. Engr. Rotimi Olagbaya of NCDMB, commended Oilserv as the first company ever since inception of the NCDMB to have driven this training programme.

“The maiden technical trainee graduation ceremony was held on January 19, 2016. Oilserv has always proven to not only take compliance seriously but also as a way of doing business. This is evident in the just concluded process that led to the retention of two (2) out of the three (3) trainees from NCDMB. Beyond meeting the requirement for sponsoring the trainees to obtain IADC certificates (which frees Oilserv of every obligation for trainee retention), Oilserv went further to retain 2 trainees which is a testament of the exceptional training process Oilserv have put in place.”

“The Nigeria Oil & Gas Industry Content Development Act 2010 came into effect 10 years ago. Indigenous EPC giant, Oilserv Ltd, has played a dominant role in the development of the Local Content Act in Nigeria. Oilserv ventured into the Pipeline EPC business in Nigeria at a time when it was an exclusive reserve of multinational contractors like Wilbros, SAIPEM and others. Oilserv did the unthinkable by competing in this exclusive space and has since become the company of choice for EPC projects in Nigeria with track records of delivering Turnkey projects which have contributed significantly to the growth of oil & gas pipelines infrastructure in Nigeria.
