At the ongoing Africa Oil Week (AOW) Energy Week 2025 in Accra, Ghana, the Oilserv Group CEO, Engr. Dr. Emeka Okwuosa CON will unveil the compelling expertise of the company’s 30-year journey in the global energy sector, evolving from a construction company to a full-spectrum EPCIC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning) solutions provider.
Highlighting the contributions of key subsidiaries like Frazimex Engineering and Crown Energy Resources, Engr. Dr. Emeka Okwuosa will, in his presentation today, September 17, 2025, speak on “Cross-Border Projects and Knowledge Exchange”, detailing how Oilserv has organically built an all-African workforce capable of delivering turnkey solutions across the global energy value chain.
With over 40 years in the oil and gas sector, Engr. Dr. Emeka Okwuosa has vast experience in fields of engineering, including maintenance and operations, teaching, wireline logging and interpretation, seismic acquisition, processing and interpretation, procurement and construction, EPC, project management, drilling, and drilling services. During his career, he has worked across Europe, North Africa, West Africa, Gulf/Central Africa, and Indonesia in positions ranging from Field Engineer to Technical Manager.
The company has recently achieved an unprecedented feat in the ongoing nation’s Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano (AKK) 614 km x 40-Inch Gas pipeline project by the completion of its Horizontal Directional Drilling HDD River Crossing of the River Niger, as the multi-billion-dollar project nears completion.
Currently executing the OE&M scope for the Ihovbor metering station’s power supply, Oilserv has also played a key role in security partnerships, community engagement, and critical environmental remediation projects, most notably, the ongoing Ogoni clean-up in collaboration with HYPREP. These milestones reflect not only technical capacity but also responsible corporate citizenship.
Oilserv Limited’s expertise is extended to the commissioning of its ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Project in May 2024, a critical component in the nation’s gas infrastructure. Spanning 23.3 kilometres, this transmission pipeline, meticulously engineered by Oilserv Limited, serves as the lifeline for transporting dry gas from the Assa North–Ohaji South primary treatment facility to the OB3 Custody Transfer Metering Station.
Oilserv’s suite of services spans pipeline construction, project management, 3D laser scanning, HDD, HTB, AUT, asset integrity, and emergency repair solutions. The company’s EPCIC capabilities are now complemented by power solutions, LPG, LNG, CNG, and the construction of several power plants across Nigeria.
The company has completed 19 major pipeline projects totaling 933 kilometers, executed 76 pipeline leak repairs, built 28 above-ground facilities, and performed 18 major HDD river crossings, including the River Niger. Its record of 84 successful Horizontal Thrust Boring operations further underscores its technical depth.
Another significant milestone achieved by the company was striking the first welding arc at the Ubeta Gas Multiphase Onshore Pipeline Project. This unprecedented achievement marked the official commencement of welding activities on TotalEnergies’ Ubeta 16-inch pipeline project.
“Ubeta is the latest in a series of projects developed by TotalEnergies in Nigeria, most recently Ikike and Akpo West. I am pleased that we can launch this new gas project which has been made possible by the Nigerian Government’s recent incentives for non-associated gas developments. Ubeta fits perfectly with our strategy of developing low-cost and low-emission projects, and will contribute to the Nigerian economy through higher NLNG exports”, said Mike Sangster, Senior Vice President Africa, Exploration & Production at TotalEnergies
