Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) was recognised for its pioneering role in oilfield development projects at the 9th Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES) which held in Abuja last week.
The award for “Best Oilfield Development Projects” applauds SNEPCo’s leadership in Nigeria’s deep-water sector, having commenced production in 2005 at Bonga field, Nigeria’s first development in water depths of more than 1,000 meters.
There have been further developments in the field including the Bonga Northwest project which came on stream in 2015. The NIES award comes as work progresses on the Bonga North project on which FID was taken in December 2024.
