MAN OIL GROUP AG CONCLUDES AN AGREEMENT WITH EMCO OILFIELD SERVICES LTD TO
FOUND A JOINT-VENTURE IN NIGERIA
Zug, Switzerland, August 5, 2014
Man Oil Group AG ("MOG") announced, that as of May 2014 they have concluded
an agreement with EMCO oilfield Services Ltd. ("EMCO"), the leading
oilfield services company on the Nigerian oil and gas market, to form a
joint venture (JV) named EMCO-MOG LTD.
The joint venture with 51% EMCO share and 49% MOG share, will be the first
significant multi-million investment in Nigeria for the STORM-15 machine to
render oil sludge and oil contaminated soil cleaning services.
The companies plan to launch operations early next year, in order to treat
large volumes of the existing and fresh oil sludge of the multinational
oil companies present in Nigeria (Shell, Total, NNPC, Agip, Addax etc.), in
an environmentally friendly way. The beginning of this cooperation will
create a solid basis for further projects of EMCO-MOG LTD in the Nigerian
market.
Nigeria is one of the important strategic markets for MOG, the country is
ranked as the 8th largest crude oil exporter worldwide, possessing
significant oil reserves.
According to a UN message to the Nigerian government in 2011, it will take
US$20 Billion within the next 30 years to eliminate the massive
environmental damages in the Niger delta region alone. The rise in
environmental problem in Nigeria, caused by the regularity of oil spills
for many years, is a critical task of the country to deal with.
Genadi Man, MOG President:
"We are happy to start business with EMCO in Nigeria - the Nigerian
oilfield services company who has serviced the well known clients in the
past eleven years. Based on their long term business relationships in
Nigeria and their positive market image we expect to take a strong position
in this strategically important market."
Paschal Anyanwu, EMCO Managing Director:
"In its many years of operations in the oil spill clean up and remediation,
EMCO studied many technologies involving oil sludge treatment, which could
meet the standards of environmental safety and commercial viability. After
trials, tests and negotiations, I was clear MOG was the best globally, so
it was a natural progression to decide to start an exclusive cooperation
with MOG. The exclusivity of their technology will put as in a unique
position in the market place."
