INTELS Oil Service Center

Nigeria is the biggest producer and exporter of oil and gas in the Sub-Saharan West African region, whose reserves have been proven to be the largest in the area, naturally located in the middle of the region.

Intels has been a leader in the Oil & Gas logistic sector for the last 30 years: born from a small concession in Onne, it is today an important reference point for all African business and a center of attraction for all the major oil companies, thanks to the development of the Oil & Gas Service concept.

Oil and Gas Free Zones have been created by Nigerian government in order to attract direct foreign investment aimed at creating employment, prosperity, technological know-how sharing and general economic development. In return, guidelines have been outlined for the implementation and adherence to the Local Content Act, guaranteeing the Nigerians the opportunity to participate in the management of the industry.

1Cargo from overseas Sea & Air Freight

Goods arriving from overseas – either by sea freight or air freight – check-in at an Intels Oil & Gas Free Zone point.

2Offload cargo from ship & Customs Clearance

Cargo is discharged by trained stevedores, then stored in a clients’ dedicated area or in a common stacking area within our facility. Thereafter, according to the client’s requirements, cargo can be transported to the project site directly, thus reducing the need for multiple handling. While waiting for the necessary customs procedures, cargos can be safely stored, inspected, covered, assembled or put at the disposal for any other use.

3Dedicated stacking area and warehouse for goods storage

Goods are stored in a logistic area provided by Intels, which has a direct connection to the quay, being an ideal solution for large companies operating in the Nigerian Oil and Gas sector. Our customers can operate in total security within their dedicated area. The Oil & Gas Free Zone offers many advantages such as storage, handling, processing and transformation of goods within the area without any limitation, according to the free zone legislation in force.

4Load cargo on truck or vessel to final destination

Once the cargo is required, it can be supplied to a rig for offshore activities or to the final destination onshore. Goods will be loaded on vessels or trucks by the highly-trained Intels personnel, with the help of modern equipment.

5Ship cargo to final destination (by land or sea)

Goods can leave in total safety.
- Load damage reduced
- Very fast cargo operations
- Transport costs are drastically reduced by reduction of multiple handling

With Intels

When managing the support operations from an Intels Oil Service Center – located in a government owned Port premise and Free Zone – the cargo is received directly into each clients’ dedicated area or into a common area (the latter subjected to storage charges and to a specific time-frame to pay import duties). While waiting for the necessary customs procedures, cargos can be safely stored, inspected, covered, assembled or set at disposal for any other use (in case of an OGFZ-licenced client). Once the cargo is ready for shipment, it can be supplied to the rig or to the final offshore or onshore destination.

Without Intels

When managing the support operation from a private base, the cargo must transit through a customs recognized port and comply with the necessary customs procedures before being released. The cargo is then transferred to a private base and, only after that, supplied to its final destination.
