(AFRICAN EXAMINER) \u2013 Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) has completed the turnaround maintenance on the Bonga Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel, leading to resumption of production at Nigeria\u2019s premier deepwater field on March 6, 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project was delivered 11 days ahead of schedule and without any safety incident, reinforcing SNEPCo\u2019s longstanding commitment to operational excellence and asset integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCompleting the turnaround safely and ahead of schedule is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of our Nigerian workforce and the helpful support of our partners,\u201d SNEPCo Managing Director Ronald Adams said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe achievement not only secures the long\u2011term integrity of the Bonga FPSO but also positions us strongly for the successful delivery of the Bonga North project, which will leverage the improved reliability of the FPSO.\u201d, he stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adams added that, \u201cwe acknowledge the support of several stakeholders towards the successful execution of the exercise, including the NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services (NUIMS), the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the Nigerian Content Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB) and our partners.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The exercise which began on February 1, 2026, highlights SNEPCo\u2019s leading role in advancing deep\u2011water expertise in Nigeria. Of the 55 companies involved in the execution, 43 were wholly Nigerian. Additionally, eight of the 12 international service providers maintain operational bases in Nigeria, contributing to knowledge transfer and increased local investments.<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 1,000 personnel worked offshore during the turnaround, with over 95% being Nigerians involved in maintenance, engineering, operations, inspection and construction. Thousands more supported activities from onshore locations, reflecting the depth of Nigerian capability in offshore oil and gas operations.<\/span><\/p>\n
