WHO WE ARE:

Petroleum Technology Association of Nigeria (PETAN) is an association of Nigerian Indigenous Technical Oilfield service companies in the upstream, midstream  and downstream sectors of the Oil industry. Formed in 1994, the association was created to bring together Nigerian Oil & Gas entrepreneurs to create a forum for the exchange of ideas with the major operators, industry stakeholders and policy makers. 

Since inception, PETAN has been on the path of promoting the development of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria through the organization and participation of Nigerian Entrepreneurs in conferences, seminars, workshops, and creating opportunities for Nigerian companies to project themselves in the competitive industry.

In collaboration with other stakeholders such as OPTS, NOC, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC Limited), Legislators such as the National Assembly and the Nigerian Content Monitoring and Development Board (NCDMB), PETAN has grown over the years to be a leader in the enactment and implementation of Local Content laws. In recent years, there is an outward move to take Local Content strategy and implementation to the African Continent in collaboration with International Local Content stakeholders. This move will in turn create opportunities to showcase Nigerian Indigenous Company’s capacity and capability to the world by varying degrees of partnerships.

PETAN membership comprises of over 100 corporations involved across the entire value chain of upstream, midstream, downstream, gas and energy.

Our focus areas are:

• Advocacy
