Leading subsea service company FMC Technologies Inc. has commissioned its first subsea production tree built entirely in Nigeria. The equipment, manufactured for Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Co. Ltd’s (SNEPCo) deepwater Bonga North West project, marks the company’s first subsea equipment engineered, manufactured, tested, installed, and serviced entirely in the country.
Bonga North West oil production
Oil production from the first well at the Bonga North West began on 5 August 2014. Four oil producing wells and two water injection wells in the Phase 1 development will be connected to the Bonga FPSO.

This local manufacturing of equipment marks a significant milestone for the company and for the country’s energy industry.
“FMC Technologies is contributing to the development of the Nigerian economy not only harnessing and utilising the country’s natural resources, but also by employing and developing skilled local professionals. FMC Technologies’ operations in Nigeria are responsible for more than 2000 jobs in Nigeria, including employees and through our supply chain.”
