As Nigeria positions itself at the forefront of Africa’s evolving energy landscape, Obinna Okoroigwe, chief operating officer of Western Development Company Nigeria Ltd. (WDCL), has reaffirmed his commitment to driving investment and innovation opportunities in Africa’s oil and gas sector.
During the celebration marking Nigerian Oil and Gas Week in Abuja yesterday, Okoroigwe stated that WDCL is a Nigerian-based indigenous oil and gas servicing company.
“We specialise in mechanical engineering services, electrical engineering services, and instrumentation services for the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
“We have been in operation for about 25 years, successfully conducting business within Nigeria’s oil and gas sector. We provide services to major oil companies such as Airzone Mobile, Shell Nigeria, Heritage Oil, the Land Granted Group, fertiliser, and refinery companies as well,” Okoroigwe said.
“We are here today exhibiting alongside our partners from India, Rolon Seals, at Nigerian Oil and Gas Week.”
Western Development Company Limited (WDCL) is an indigenous company that has been offering services to local and international oil and gas companies for over 25 years. “Our services include procurement, engineering, and construction in mechanical, electrical, civil, and instrumentation disciplines for both onshore and offshore brownfield and greenfield projects.
We also offer procurement and installation services for Information Technology and Telecommunication projects,” he said.
“We are working to extend our operations to include oil drilling, completion, and well maintenance services, as well as the provision of badges, tug boats, personnel carriers, security vessels, and more. Additionally, we are focusing on expanding our business to the shallow and deep offshore sectors.”
Meanwhile, the director of operations for Western Development Company Limited, Onilede Solomon, noted, “WDCL has spent close to 30 years providing services for IOCs, NNPC, and all the major players.
Our services span the IT, mechanical, electrical, and marine security sectors. Our presence is significant with companies like Shell, Chevron, Mobil, NNPC, and other local producers.
One of our technical partners is Rolon Seals. One of the key products we introduced this year is mechanical seals. These products are widely used in the country and have been adopted by major players like Dangote Refinery. They have proven to be more economical, durable, and provide excellent value.
In the oil and gas sector, Western Development is thriving by consistently delivering high-quality services. We have ongoing projects running for the past 10 years, maintaining excellent service standards in the oil and gas industry.”
On his part, expert-manager Rolon Seals, Jonathan Praveen said, “Rolon Seals is a mechanical seal company with 25-26 years of experience. We are partnering with Western Development Company here in Nigeria.
We are glad to be part of this exhibition. Our goal is to showcase our capabilities and credentials and explore business opportunities in Nigeria and across Africa. Our motto is to provide the fastest and most reliable service and supply of mechanical seals, which are common and essential in many industries.
When it comes to faster service and reliable support, Roland Seals definitely stands first,” he concluded.
