The company, which has acquired reputation for executing complex projects and working in challenging terrains, has described the conference as a veritable platform for collaboration and an avenue for showcasing the capacity of indigenous companies operating in the pipeline construction, engineering, operation and maintenance subsector of the Nigerian Oil and Gas sector.
Speaking on the company’s participation at the conference, its Executive Director, Dr Umeh, said that “a conference like this provides an avenue for pipeline construction companies in Nigeria to showcase their response to the socio-environmental challenges that have made pipelines less optimal in Nigeria.
“In response to these challenges, Nestoil has embarked on significant investments in acquisition of state-of-the-art machinery and technology, which guarantee higher level of security for laid energy pipes against vandalism and explosion.”
With technological innovation, Nestoil said it has made three major river and several road crossings, using the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) technology. The HDD, a trenchless technology that curbs vandalism, limits environmental degradation and ensures safe depth of pipelines burial, is the latest pipeline technology deployed by the company in execution of its pipeline projects.
By this, Nestoil has signalled its capacity to deliver crude oil and gas pipeline construction contracts to world-class quality and standards.
“Unlike the conventional practices that resulted in demolition of houses, displacement of people and destruction of natural habitats, deploying the HDD technology shows significant consideration for the society, environment and mankind in the multi-layered engineering planning processes upon which the project implementation rests.
Nestoil is acknowledged for its inventiveness and seamless execution of landmark projects in Nigeria. Some these projects include the construction of the Edjeba Sewage Treatment Plant in Warri, construction of the 24” diameter Nember-Cawthorne Channel Trunckline (NCTL) for Shell Petroleum Development Company, construction and installation of the 2.5 kilometre Escravos River Cross as part of the OML 42 oil export pipeline network construction for the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC).
The acclaimed expertise which distinguished Nestoil from other industry players has become manifest in its execution of the OB3 (Obiafu/Obrikom to Oben) 48” diameter gas pipeline project for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, with the attainment of impressive milestones and feats that hitherto were exclusive to international construction companies.
Over the past two decades, the company said it has established itself as a dependable partner in Nigeria’s quest for national development and economic empowerment. In providing highly technical specialist services which include pipeline and flowline construction, Horizontal Directional Drilling for Pipeline Construction, Production facilities operation and Engineering Consultancy, we have consistently demonstrated commitment to the growth of the Nigerian economy.
