Our Impact

PETAN is the initiator of Local content in Nigeria and has been championing the quest for increased local participation in the Nigerian Oil and Gas industry.

PETAN has been giving opportunities to Nigerian companies to showcase themselves in international conferences and exhibitions such as the OTC, GPS, Offshore Europe, NOG, OWA, etc.

PETAN, companies and their contractors employ over 20000 Nigerians of which over 60% are Graduates. This has a beneficial “domino” effect on the economy through use of Local-Inputs, growth of local expertise and know-how (reduce costs and maintain standards).
