Nigeria's New Shore Base Facility Boosts Oil Production

On March 26, 2026, LADOL and EEPNL broke ground on a permanent shore base facility in Nigeria, marking a significant development in the country's deep-offshore oil production. This facility is designed to support logistics, warehousing, chemical handling, and pipe storage for the Erha FPSO operations.

The investment signals confidence in Nigeria's regulatory framework and the long-term viability of its oil and gas sector. The shore base will enhance response times, reduce vessel turnaround, and strengthen the supply chain reliability essential for sustaining offshore production.

This project is not merely a temporary logistics yard but a modern facility built to meet the operational demands of deep-water assets. It will be funded entirely by LADOL and will involve Nigerian companies and personnel, promoting local content and expertise in the oil and gas industry.

The development is expected to catalyze broader industrial activity and encourage local manufacturing and service provision, reinforcing Nigeria's position as an attractive destination for long-term investment.
