Assessment of E&P Technology in Nigeria

Abstract

The report is based on an assessment expert workshop designed for collective handling of complex problems and issues. This part of the overall project had focus upon the prospects of E&P technology and competence requirements related to the Nigerian upstream oil and gas industry, with a view to assess the status of technology and competence requirements applied for E&P operations (exploration, field development, production) and to identify areas with the largest potential for Nigerian local short and mid term contribution.

Different methods such as structured assessment and ranking against multiple criteria were supported by techniques like brainstorming and collective consensus building to arrive at an evaluation of a representative range of E&P technologies.
