- Kenyon International prioritises reviving dormant oil wells to enhance Nigeria’s production capacity.
- The firm combines homegrown expertise with international technology to maximise output from mature oil fields.
Reviving dormant oil wells has become a central focus for Kenyon International as it marks ten years of operations in Nigeria. The oil services firm announced plans to restore idle assets, deploy flexible pipeline technologies, and strengthen refining capacity to harness the full hydrocarbon value chain.
At its 10th anniversary in Lagos, the company’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dr Victor Ekpenyong, reaffirmed its long-term commitment. He stressed that Nigeria must maximise its oil and gas resources before fully embracing the energy transition. According to him, the next decade will centre on innovation and strategic partnerships designed to push production beyond three million barrels daily.
“Reviving dormant oil wells is crucial to sustaining growth. We must use our God-given resources to industrialise before transitioning,” Ekpenyong stated. He highlighted how Kenyon, established in 2015, has become a vital player in Nigeria’s oil and gas services sector.
The company has contributed to national production stability by offering tailored solutions. Today, Nigeria produces over one million barrels daily, and Kenyon remains a key driver of that achievement.
Furthermore, Ekpenyong addressed the ongoing divestments by international oil majors. He explained that Kenyon continues to thrive in brownfield operations, leveraging local and foreign technologies. These efforts ensure output is maximised from ageing assets while strengthening the wider hydrocarbon chain.
Kenyon International’s commitment to innovation, value creation, and strategic partnerships is evident as the industry evolves. With consistent investment in refining and upstream services, the firm is positioning itself as a catalyst for Nigeria’s long-term energy stability.
