Kenyon International, an indigenous oil and gas servicing company, has celebrated its 10th anniversary with a pledge to push Nigeria’s crude oil production beyond three million barrels per day, building on its track record of reviving idle and abandoned wells.
At the anniversary event held in Lagos, Victor Ekpenyong, the company’s Chief Executive Officer, said Kenyon had grown from its establishment in 2015 into a trusted partner in the energy industry by focusing on brownfield development and deploying advanced technologies to restore output.
“Today, Nigeria produces over 1.5 million barrels of oil per day, and that continues to grow. We are proud that Kenyon has been part of this progress. Our mission is to continue reviving idle and ‘dead’ wells, introduce flexible evacuation technologies, and ultimately help Nigeria surpass 3 million barrels per day,” Ekpenyong stated.
“I believe that Nigeria’s hydrocarbons are the backbone of our industrial growth”, he added. “Our vision at Kenyon is to harness these resources responsibly by investing in technologies that allow us to process them locally, reduce dependence on exports, and create real opportunities for our people. This is how we intend to build energy security today while preparing for the cleaner alternatives of tomorrow”.
Looking ahead, he emphasised that Kenyon’s focus for the next decade will be innovation and collaboration, particularly in addressing production and evacuation challenges. He spotlighted the company’s deployment of Interwell MSAS technology, which restored more than 7,000 barrels per day without production disruption, delivering over 2 million barrels to date.
Kenyon International is an indigenous oilfield service company established in 2012, specialising in well intervention, completion, and control solutions. Providing services such as drilling completion support, wellhead maintenance, idle well management, and emergency blowout response, Kenyon has a proven track record in restoring production, including stabilising collapsing wells.
Meanwhile, Francis Nwaochei, Chairman of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Nigeria Council, applauded Kenyon as a top supporter of SPE’s vision, particularly in advancing technology dissemination and youth development.
“Kenyon has truly distinguished itself, not just through technical excellence but through a genuine commitment to people and industry growth.
“Their support has helped us empower students, professionals, and the wider community, and I am confident that they will keep raising the bar for innovation and excellence in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry,” he said.
As part of its anniversary initiatives, Kenyon International awarded scholarships to outstanding university students, reinforcing its commitment to youth empowerment and capacity building in the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
