After close to 4 years of planning, and over $4.5 million investment in facilities, recruitment and training, GE has announced that it now has the capability to fabricate subsea wellheads in Nigeria for its Oil and Gas customers, according to SubseaUK.
Chief Operating Officer (COO) of GE Oil and Gas, Uzo Nwagwu, made the announcement in Lagos, saying the feat was a major milestone for GE Oil & Gas in efforts to substantially increase the local capabilities of its operations in Nigeria through ambitious technology programs and human capacity development. With this achievement, GE's customers operating in Nigeria no longer need to import these fabricated wellheads, thereby reducing costs and improving delivery time.
The developments at GE's Onne facility in River State align with the Nigerian Federal Government's local content law and desire for increased manufacturing capacity, skill acquisition and technology transfer. However, for GE, this milestone represents a lot more than complying with the laws on local content.
