Industry landscape

A transforming sector creating sustained demand

Nigeria's oil and gas industry is in the middle of a significant transformation.

A new regulatory environment

The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) has reshaped the regulatory and commercial environment in Nigeria's oil and gas sector.

A wave of asset divestment

International Oil Companies (IOCs) are transferring onshore and offshore assets to operators and National Oil Companies (NOCs).

Demand for local capability

This shift is creating real, sustained demand for capable, dependable and locally rooted service providers, and it is the opportunity Marlin Energy was built to meet.
