Nestoil success stories cannot be discussed in a vacuum as the degree is predicated on the specilaised services executed by its various Strategic Business Units (SBUs). This is how the SBUs have impacted the country’s economy.
That the Nestoil group is now a household name in the oil and gas ecosystem is a testament to the capacity of the various Strategic Business Units (SBUs) it created to fill voids in the energy ecosystem. Aside from serving to contribute to the economic development of the country through contract execution for its various National Oil Companies (NOC) and International Oil Companies (IOCs) partners, they are contributing to the construction of key socio-economic sites across the country.
Nestoil, Nigeria’s largest indigenous Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) company in the Oil and Gas sector, celebrating its 30th year of existence, believed its present positioning can only be achieved through leveraging the value of its sister companies.
The activities of Nestoil and its subsidiaries like Energy Works Technologies (EWT), IMPaC, B&Q Dredging, HammakoppConsortium, Scorpio Drilling, Neconde Energy, Nesthak, Shipside Drydock, Gobowen E&P, and Century Power Generation Limited – in the energy ecosystem, has led observers to call it th e local content success story.
The well-equipped SBU’s were created at different fora during the evolution of the oil and gas sector, according to Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi, the Nestoil Group Chairman and Group Managing Director, upon the identification of insightful business opportunities from needs that did not have readily available or sufficient in-country solutions.
On the company’s website, he said the SBUs were initially created to provide for critical needs that arose during Nestoil’s execution of various pipeline construction projects it got from local and foreign partners. These companies, presently, he enthused have been expanded and have become authorities in their fields.

Over time, it has grown from strength to strength. The biggest area EWT has had an impact is in the area of fabrication. I recall their participation and impact in the famous Egina Project where some of the major components were fabricated out of that site.
‘’I also remember Nestoil evolving through EWT in the construction of Nembe creek trunk line all the way from the creek to Nembe for Shell, which of course is being used to transport crude today by other injectors to the line itself. I am proud of EWT in terms of how they have grown and where they are today. They are one of those success stories we share everywhere today.”
