Nigeria’s production ambitions place a clear focus on how technology can help operators deliver sustained growth.
On CNBC Africa, Fidelis Akpoghiran, Senior Vice President, Business Transformation & Innovation at Heirs Energies, discussed technology’s role in Nigeria’s crude production gains, highlighting our Integrated Operations Management Centre (IOMC).
The interview brings Heirs Energies’ experience into a nationally significant conversation: how digital innovation can strengthen upstream operations and support Nigeria’s production targets.
The transformation of a complex brownfield asset requires more than technology. It requires the ability to see clearly, decide quickly and act as one team.
At Heirs Energies, our Integrated Operations Management Centre (IOMC) brings together people, processes and real-time operational data in one connected environment. It gives our teams an integrated view of OML 17, enabling faster decision-making, stronger collaboration, proactive risk management and safer, more efficient operations.
Our new documentary takes you inside the IOMC and shows how this capability is supporting the transformation of OML 17 – turning data into insight, insight into action and action into measurable performance.
We invite you to watch and share the documentary as we continue to demonstrate what African enterprise, expertise and innovation can achieve.
With Gastech Exhibition & Conference 2026 centred on “Where Global Energy Supply Meets Demand,” our CEO, Osa Igiehon, joined global energy leaders across three key engagements, bringing an African perspective to conversations on energy access, security, investment and industrial growth. His participation reinforced Heirs Energies’ focus on a practical pathway for Africa – moving from energy deficiency to energy sufficiency by converting the continent’s resources into reliable power, productive industry and economic value.
A. Gastech 2026 Opening Ceremony
Gastech 2026 officially opened at BITEC, Bangkok, bringing together more than 50,000 energy professionals from over 150 countries across government, industry, investment, technology and infrastructure.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Osayande Igiehon, joined global energy leaders at the opening ceremony, which featured remarks from H.E. Anutin Charnvirakul, Prime Minister of Thailand, and H.E. Akanat Promphan, Minister of Energy, Thailand, as well as a fireside chat with The Rt. Hon. Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, on geopolitics, energy security and the need for reliable and affordable energy to support economic growth.
The opening set the tone for four days of discussions on energy security, investment, innovation, affordability and the infrastructure needed to meet rising global energy demand.
B. Power for All: Delivering Universal Energy Access in an Electrifying World
On Day 2, Osa joined the Electrification Theatre discussion on delivering universal access to reliable electricity as global demand rises. He highlighted Africa’s starting point, with nearly 600 million Africans still lacking reliable electricity access, and argued that the priority must be moving from energy deficiency to energy sufficiency, rather than treating the transition as a choice between fossil fuels and renewables.
He called for the expansion of gas, hydro, solar, wind and storage, alongside investment across the energy value chain and the optimisation of existing assets. For Africa, he stressed, we must add energy to the system before transforming the system. He also highlighted Nigeria’s opportunity to expand gas supply for domestic, regional and global markets, emphasising that access must translate into reliable power for hospitals, schools, homes, businesses and industries – driving productivity, jobs and economic growth.
C. Rising Economies, Rising Demand: How the Next Industrial Age Gets Powered
On Day 3, Osa joined discussions on the rapid growth of energy demand across emerging economies and the challenge of turning that demand into bankable projects, infrastructure and industrial growth. He emphasised that Africa does not have an energy-demand problem, but an energy-delivery problem – requiring credible offtake, connected infrastructure, stable policy and reliable payment structures to unlock investment.
He outlined three practical ways to close Africa’s energy-delivery gap: optimising existing brownfield capacity, developing connected new infrastructure, and integrating gas, renewables, storage and stronger grids.
He also highlighted the cost of unreliable power to African businesses, where spending on backup generation diverts capital from production, jobs and innovation.
Drawing on Heirs Energies’ experience, Osa highlighted OML 17, where gas production has grown from approximately 50 MMscf/d to 135 MMscf/d, with 100% directed to Nigeria’s domestic market, supporting five power plants and helping provide electricity to millions of Nigerians.
Across his Gastech engagements, Osa reinforced a consistent message: Africa must move from energy deficiency to energy sufficiency – by developing more energy, building the infrastructure to deliver it, and enabling African businesses and governments to play a greater role in shaping the continent’s energy future.
Heirs Energies has been recognised with the Domestic Gas Champion Award at the 2026 Gas Investment Forum, affirming the measurable contribution of our gas operations to Nigeria’s energy security and economic development.
For us, gas must translate into more than production volumes. It must deliver power, enable industry, create economic opportunities and improve lives.
Today, 100% of our produced gas is supplied to Nigeria’s domestic market, feeding five power plants and enabling approximately 450MW of electricity generation, powering over two million homes – while supporting businesses and industries across the country.
This recognition demonstrates what is possible when indigenous capability, responsible resource development and disciplined execution are aligned with national priorities. It also strengthens our resolve to invest further in the infrastructure and innovation required to convert Nigeria’s abundant gas resources into reliable energy and lasting economic value.
We thank our employees, partners, government and regulatory stakeholders, host communities and customers for their continued trust and collaboration.
Together, we are turning Nigeria’s gas potential into power, productivity and shared prosperity.

Heirs Energies has achieved a major safety milestone -10 million manhours without a Lost Time Injury (LTI), reinforcing its strong commitment to protecting its people and operating responsibly.
Since assuming operatorship of OML 17 over five years ago, Heirs Energies has prioritised safety as a core pillar of its operations. Beyond the metrics, this achievement represents something far more meaningful: lives protected, families kept whole, and a sustained culture where safety is never compromised.
Operating at scale across one of Nigeria’s most active onshore assets, Heirs Energies has demonstrated that strong performance and stringent safety standards are not mutually exclusive. Instead, they are mutually reinforcing. This milestone reflects a disciplined approach to risk management, continuous learning, and a shared responsibility for safety across Heirs Energies.
Central to this success is Heirs Energies’ Empowerment-Based Safety Model, anchored on the principle that “Everyone is a Safety Officer.” By design, the model moves safety beyond policies and procedures, embedding it into everyday decision-making and behaviour. Every employee – across technical, commercial, and corporate functions – is empowered and expected to take ownership of safety outcomes.
This approach has fostered a proactive safety culture, where individuals are not only aware of risks but are confident and accountable in addressing them. It reinforces the company’s belief that safety is only as strong as its most recent performance, requiring constant vigilance and collective discipline.
This is a proud moment for Heirs Energies and a strong reminder that with the right culture and discipline, safety and performance can go hand in hand.
Heirs Energies is supporting the Tony Elumelu Foundation’s (TEF) 2026 cohort of 3,200 African entrepreneurs, helping to drive enterprise growth and job creation across the continent.
The entrepreneurs, drawn from all 54 African countries, were selected from more than 265,000 applicants and unveiled in Abuja on Sunday by TEF Founder and Chairman, Tony O. Elumelu, CFR. The scale of applications highlights both the depth of entrepreneurial activity across Africa and the growing demand for early-stage capital and business support.
“The future of Africa will be built by Africans who create businesses, generate jobs and solve the challenges of our continent,” Elumelu said. “Empowering entrepreneurs remains the most sustainable path to economic transformation.”
Heirs Energies said its support forms part of a broader strategy to link energy development with economic expansion, particularly in regions where access to capital, infrastructure and opportunity remains uneven.
Speaking at the event, Chief Executive Officer Osayande Igiehon said the company is positioning its operations to deliver both energy supply and long-term economic value.
“Sustainable energy development must be matched by sustained investment in people and enterprise,” Igiehon said. “Our partnership with the Tony Elumelu Foundation reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunity while strengthening the communities in which we operate.”
Operating in OML 17 in the Niger Delta, Heirs Energies continues to deliver targeted interventions across enterprise development, education, healthcare and infrastructure.
To date, the company has:
Empowered over 500 youths through skills acquisition and enterprise development programmes
Supported over 1,621 students through educational grants
Reached more than 18,000 people through medical outreach programmes
Delivered over 135 community infrastructure projects, with additional projects at advanced stages of completion
Beyond its host communities, Heirs Energies supplies gas into Nigeria’s domestic network, enabling over 350MW of electricity generation – powering homes, schools and industries, and supporting broader economic activity.
Through its partnership with TEF, Heirs Energies has committed over $10 million to support 2,000 African entrepreneurs across two programme cycles.
In 2025, the company supported 1,000 entrepreneurs, with 40% from the Niger Delta, including over 150 from Rivers State.
In 2026, Heirs Energies is supporting another 1,000 entrepreneurs, with 50% from the Niger Delta, deepening its focus on its host region.
Women account for 48% of beneficiaries, reflecting a strong commitment to inclusive growth.
Within Nigeria, impact is concentrated in the Niger Delta, particularly in Rivers State and surrounding communities, alongside broader participation across the country and other African markets.
Across Africa, youth unemployment and limited access to financing continue to constrain business growth, despite rising entrepreneurial activity. Programmes such as TEF play a critical role in bridging this gap, combining capital with mentorship and training.
Heirs Energies said its continued collaboration with TEF reflects a shared focus on enterprise development, job creation and broader economic participation across the continent.

OP-ED – By Debo Adebajo: Vice President, Technical, Heirs Energies
Nigeria’s gas ambitions will not be delivered by policy declarations alone. They will be delivered by speed, precision and engineering ingenuity. The Agbada-67 intervention in OML 17 offers a compelling case study of how brownfield innovation can unlock stranded capacity, boost domestic gas supply and stabilise power generation, without drilling a single new well.
Re-engineering Gas Assets Accelerates Power Delivery
Nigeria has positioned gas as its transition fuel, but the challenge is delivering results. The nation lacks neither reserves nor strategies, only speed of execution. Bridging the gap between gas resources and reliable power depends less on new drilling and more on innovatively re-engineering existing assets.
Despite Africa’s largest proven gas reserves, the country still faces power shortages, industrial disruptions, and gas flaring, gaps that cannot be closed by policy intent or capital-intensive megaprojects. It requires practical, scalable engineering solutions that unlock value from existing assets, quickly, safely, and affordably.
In 2025, a rigless gas well intervention at Agbada-67 in OML 17 demonstrated what is possible when innovation meets constraint.
Through a carefully executed brownfield recompletion, the well was restarted with a gas output of approximately 45 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d), contributing to a broader rise in OML 17 gas production from about 50 MMscf/d to a peak of 135 MMscf/d.
The impact was immediate: aggregate power generation across plants supplied from the eastern network increased from roughly 100 MW to over 325 MW on average, with peak generation reaching about 455 MW.
Why brownfields now matter more than ever
Nigeria’s upstream sector is undergoing a structural transition. With many international oil companies exiting, assets once developed under capital-intensive expansion models are now operated by indigenous firms facing tighter capital but greater pressure to boost production.
Historically, wells were drilled to target larger, deeper reservoirs, often bypassing shallower hydrocarbon-bearing zones. Over many decades, this approach has created a vast portfolio of completed and suspended wells, running across untapped or underutilised reservoirs. In the onshore Niger Delta alone, over 3,200 wells have been drilled, with more than 2,300 now completed or suspended.
This history presents a challenge and an opportunity, as while mature assets face declining production, targeted brownfield interventions offer a high-value, low-cost alternative to new developments.
The Agbada-67 technical approach
Agbada-67 was originally completed in a deeper gas reservoir and began experiencing water breakthrough in line with reservoir prognosis. Conventional responses would have involved drilling a new gas well at an estimated cost of about $25 million, or a full workover costing roughly $10 million.
Instead, the technical team pursued a third path: a two-stage, through-tubing recompletion – an approach that had not previously been executed in this combination on the asset.
The first stage involved a chemical water shut-off of the existing completion to enable access to a shallower reservoir. The second stage focused on recompleting the well through existing tubing, avoiding the need for a rig.
This included through-tubing perforation, reservoir stimulation using micro-emulsion breaker chemicals, isolation of the annulus from the surface with a cement packer, and the deployment of a bespoke ceramic sand screen 60 feet long, installed inside a 4½-inch tubing string at a depth of approximately 8,300 feet.
The entire operation was completed safely within 51 days.
The result was a recompleted gas well that delivered nearly double its initial production forecast, at strong reservoir pressures, and without expanding the field’s surface footprint.
Impact beyond the wellhead
For millions of Nigerians, this is not about infrastructure statistics; it is about lights staying on, hospital equipment functioning, and small businesses being able to operate without diesel generators.
This is why the significance of Agbada-67 lies not only in production numbers, but in its system-level impact.
In 2025, increased gas availability from OML 17 more than doubled supply into the eastern domestic gas network. Power plants dependent on this gas were able to ramp up generation, improving grid stability for households, hospitals, businesses, and industrial users. This is what gas monetisation looks like when it works, not as an abstract policy goal, but as electricity delivered.
Financially, the project also underscores the efficiency of brownfield innovation. The intervention cost approximately $3.5 million, around 35% of the conventional workover, and about 15% the cost of a new well. The payout period was roughly 22 days, with revenues of about $14 million generated within the first 90 days of production.
Replicability across Nigeria’s brownfields
Agbada-67 is the proof point.
Similar conditions exist across Nigeria’s mature fields, wells with existing infrastructure, declining reservoirs, and bypassed zones that can be accessed through creative recompletion strategies. The same approach is already being evaluated for nearby wells, including Agbada-68, which is expected to experience water breakthrough in the coming months.
More broadly, the lesson is clear: Nigeria does not need to wait for large greenfield projects to grow its gas supply. With the right technical mindset, regulatory support, and disciplined execution, brownfields can deliver meaningful volumes quickly and sustainably.
Aligning innovation with national priorities
Gas has been clearly identified as Nigeria’s transition fuel. Increasing domestic gas supply supports power generation, industrialisation, and emissions reduction by converting routine flares into productive use. However, delivering on this vision requires solutions that play out Nigeria’s current realities; solutions that are cost-effective, fast to deploy, and grounded in local engineering capability.
The success at Agbada-67 reflects what is possible when indigenous technical teams, working in partnership with NNPC and NUIMS, focus on practical problem-solving rather than textbook development models.
As Nigeria navigates the next phase of its energy transition, brownfield innovation should move from the margins to the mainstream of development planning. Regulators, operators, and investors all have a role to play in enabling these approaches through flexible frameworks, data transparency, and continued collaboration.
Agbada-67 shows that with the right tools and mindset, existing assets can deliver new value. The challenge now is to scale.
If Nigeria is to meet its domestic gas ambitions, the future will not be built only on what we drill next, but on how intelligently we re-engineer what we already have.Source: Sustainable Stories Africa
