Nigeria Oil and Gas Fishing Market Analysis

The oil & gas sector is experiencing substantial investments from the government, with many planned projects in the development stages. This will remain steady, specifically with the government initiatives and financing for oil & gas infrastructure development. There is a continuous rise in drilling activities since the oil & gas sector is well-positioned to serve the growing requirements of Nigeria.

Growing oil & gas exploration and production and the rising number of drilling activities are major driving factors for the Nigeria oil and gas fishing market. In addition, an increase in initiatives toward well maintenance is anticipated to support the growth of the Nigeria oil and gas fishing market.

Nigeria Oil and Gas Fishing Market Overview

In the context of oilfields and gas plants, fishing relates to the recovery of unwanted objects or materials left in the wellbore. While drilling, equipment such as tools, drill bits, and casing might get trapped or lost owing to unfavorable well conditions and mechanical breakdowns. Fishing techniques primarily help recover lost or stuck objects in the wellbore.

 Major stakeholders in the Nigeria oil & gas fishing market ecosystem are raw material suppliers/distributors, hardware assemblies/fishing product manufacturers, and end users. A few popular oil & gas fishing product manufacturers and service providers are Archer Nigeria Limited, Baker Hughes Incorporated, Halliburton Company, Weatherford International PLC., Equity Petroleum Services Nigeria Ltd. NOV Inc., Schlumberger Ltd., Tecon Oil Services Ltd., Samtex Oilfield Services Nigeria Limited, and Uniterm Nigeria Limited, among others.

The ecosystem of the Nigeria oil & gas fishing market begins with the production and distribution of raw materials such as iron and steel. The fishing product manufacturers then assemble the manufactured parts to form fishing tools, which are then tested. Fishing product providers are focused on high-quality manufacturing of premium-grade oil & gas field equipment that surpasses international standards. This phase is followed by the supply of the oil & gas fishing products to the oilfield and gas plant operator companies. The major end-users of oil & gas fishing products are various oil fields and gas fields. The mounting number of oil & gas drilling activities in the crude oil & gas exploration industry and the continuously developing offshore oil & gas sector are among the major factors driving the oil & gas fishing market in Nigeria.

Nigeria Oil and Gas Fishing Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Drilling Activities in Nigeria

Nigeria, an oil and gas-rich country in Africa, produces crude oil daily from onshore and offshore sources for export; it generates more than 80% of its foreign currency from oil. To maintain steady revenue, the number of operational oil rigs is rapidly increasing across the country. As per the monthly report from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, as of February 2024, the number of operational oil drilling rigs across Nigeria increased to 30 as compared to 8 and 10 rigs in 2021 and 2022, respectively. In addition, according to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, the number of oil drilling rigs in Nigeria increased by more than 250% over the last three years. Moreover, the oil & gas industry in Nigeria has set targets to increase production of crude oil to 2.6 million barrels per day by 2026 from the production level of ~1.5 million barrels per day in 2023. This gap between actual oil production and technical potential has created an investment opportunity for investors as well as the government of Nigeria to develop additional sources of revenue through offshore oil and gas production, addressing the current foreign exchange gap and strengthening its economic resilience. Thus, the growing drilling activities in Nigeria boosts oil and gas production, which results in a rise in fishing services or activities to recover unwanted material or components stuck in the well during drilling activities, which drives the Nigeria oil and gas fishing market.

Rise in Divestment in Onshore Oil Fields and Oil Discovery in Offshore Fields

Recent divestment in the onshore oil & gas sector in Nigeria resulted in the decline of production and increased demand for cleaning oil and gas assets or unwanted material stuck in the wells to ensure their viability for the long term. The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) offered the short-term option to make a faster exit for oil majors by cleaning or paying to clean the assets such as oil and gas wells and related infrastructure with the aim of protecting environment, local communities, and extending the life of the asset.
