Shell is using advanced technology to deliver safe, economic deep-water projects in Nigeria that provide jobs and training for local people. We also plan to drill more wells in the deep waters of the Gulf of Guinea in 2015 to unlock valuable resources of oil and gas, with the decision to move the Bonga Main Phase 3 project forward. Tapping into these fields will deliver energy to help meet growing demand in Nigeria and beyond.



Far from Nigeria’s coast and more than a kilometre below the ocean’s surface, our people delivered a challenging project ahead of time and with an impressive safety record. Explore our 3D interactive of the Bonga facility to discover how we are opening deep-water potential and delivering local benefits.

Drilling new wells will boost valuable energy supplies from the Bonga field, which was Nigeria’s first deep-water development in more than a kilometre of water when it began production in 2005. Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo) used one of the world’s largest floating production, storage and offloading vessels for the original project to pump oil and gas from deep beneath the seabed.
The vessel’s capacity has been upgraded, enabling SNEPCo to unlock new energy resources with the start of production at the nearby Bonga North West field in August 2014.
