Incorporated in 1973, Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (Nigeria) Limited was the first ever indigenous company in Joint Venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) since 1978, a history of more than 40 years!
The trail-blazing oil and gas conglomerate began production in August 1976 at the Ogharefe field of OML 98. As it began to grow in leaps and bounds, before the Nigerian market could prove readiness for clean energy transition, it embarked on a gas utilisation initiative in 1984. And by 2007, Pan Ocean had acquired the Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 275 as part of her drive to increase domestic gas consumption and to support the gas flare out objective of the Federal Government.
Reputed as one of the top indigenous companies with a history of growth, Pan Ocean has leveraged built a dynamic organization alongside a responsible community development portfolio.
