Marginal Field Acquisition
Structuring, due diligence and facilitation of marginal field acquisitions, guiding you through bid, award and farm-in to a clean, fundable position.
Oil & Gas Consultancy · Nigeria
Onterra Nigeria Limited develops and facilitates marginal field acquisition and production, with the people, the partners and the complete understanding of the system needed to turn a field into flowing barrels.
Who we are
Onterra Nigeria Limited is an oil & gas consultancy built around a single, hard-won competence: taking a marginal field from the moment of purchase all the way through to first oil. The company is established and proven, recently renamed, but carrying years of operational knowledge into everything we do.
We understand the system completely, the regulatory pathway, the commercial structure, the subsurface, the surface facilities and the people who make it run. And we have the manpower, consultants and partners on the ground to make a field a reality rather than a plan.
What we do
Whatever happens between purchasing a field and delivering first oil to the market, we can consult on it and facilitate making it real.
Structuring, due diligence and facilitation of marginal field acquisitions, guiding you through bid, award and farm-in to a clean, fundable position.
End-to-end development management: subsurface evaluation, FDP, facilities, drilling and completions, all sequenced to reach first oil on schedule.
Slickline and electric-line operations for logging, perforation, intervention and data acquisition across the life of the well.
Coiled tubing interventions, clean-outs, stimulation, nitrogen lifting and well servicing to restore and sustain production.
Workovers, well testing, production optimisation and integrity management to keep barrels flowing efficiently and safely.
Tendering, contracting and supply-chain coordination, assembling the right vendors and terms for each phase of the project.
Navigating approvals, compliance and commercial structuring with a complete understanding of how the system operates in Nigeria.
Experienced staff and specialist consultants mobilised to the ground, the people who turn a development plan into production.
The journey we manage
One accountable partner across the whole arc. Here is the path we take a marginal field through.
Identify, evaluate and facilitate the acquisition of the field, commercial structuring, due diligence and a clean entry.
Re-interpret the reservoir, define the resource and build the case for development with confidence.
Engineer the facilities, well program and contracting strategy, the blueprint that gets to first oil.
Drilling, completions, wireline and coiled tubing, mobilising people and equipment to build the wells.
Commission, start up and bring the field online, the milestone everything is sequenced toward.
Optimise production and deliver crude to the market, sustaining and growing the asset's value.
Why Onterra
Marginal fields fail when one link in the chain is missing. Our advantage is that we hold the whole chain. We know how the system operates end to end, and we have the people and consultants on the ground to act on that knowledge.
Regulatory, commercial, subsurface and surface, we see how every piece connects.
Manpower and specialist consultants ready to mobilise, not just advise.
One partner responsible from purchase through to first oil and market delivery.
Wireline, coiled tubing, well services, contracts, coordinated under one roof.
Tell us where you are in the journey, acquisition, development or production, and we'll show you how we facilitate the rest.
