NNPC Ltd. partners with Baker Hughes to boost crude oil and gas production. For instance, Engr. Bayo Ojulari, NNPC’s CEO, hosts a Baker Hughes team in Abuja. Led by Tayo Akinokun, Senior Vice President, the delegation discusses strategic alliances. Consequently, they aim to advance technical capabilities and accelerate production growth. Moreover, the partnership strengthens key upstream and midstream assets, aligning with NNPC’s growth agenda.
Leveraging a Long-Standing Collaboration
NNPC and Baker Hughes build on their history of collaboration on multiple projects. Therefore, they focus on improving efficiency, increasing output, and ensuring sustainability. For example, Ojulari emphasizes Baker Hughes’ consistent role in Nigeria’s energy sector. As a result, this partnership drives innovation and maximizes asset value. Additionally, it tackles global market volatility and meets domestic energy demands effectively.
Deploying Cutting-Edge Leucipa Technology
The partnership introduces Baker Hughes’ Leucipa automated field production solution in the Niger Delta. Specifically, this marks its first deployment in Sub-Saharan Africa through the NNPC/FIRST E&P Joint Venture. In February, Baker Hughes signed an agreement for offshore operations. Thus, Leucipa optimizes well performance by automating tasks like analysis and management. Furthermore, it uses real-time data to drive intelligent operations.
Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability
Leucipa reduces inefficiencies and lowers carbon emissions significantly. For instance, it provides real-time insights for better decision-making. Consequently, operators unlock untapped reserves and optimize operations effectively. Moreover, Amerino Gatti, Baker Hughes’ Executive Vice President, calls Leucipa a game-changer for oilfield operations. He highlights its role in responsible energy development across Africa.
Commitment to Responsible Development
Gatti notes, “Leucipa enhances oilfields, making them smarter and more efficient for our customers.” Therefore, it maximizes asset value sustainably. Additionally, Tayo Akinokun reaffirms Baker Hughes’ dedication to NNPC’s production goals. As a long-term partner, Baker Hughes drives innovation and sustainable growth. For example, they support Nigeria’s energy transition with advanced technologies.
Modernizing Nigeria’s Energy Sector
This collaboration aligns with NNPC’s mission to modernize the energy sector. Specifically, it increases output through technology-led solutions. Furthermore, the partnership ensures Nigeria meets its oil production targets. Consequently, it positions Nigeria as a competitive leader in the global energy market. Ultimately, NNPC and Baker Hughes address economic and environmental priorities effectively.
