Pioneering Excellence: The FIRST E&P Way

Our strategy is marked by a profound understanding that being FIRST is a way of life, requiring us to embrace change, adapt to challenges, and stay agile. From technical and commercial expertise to cutting edge innovation, ethical behaviour, HSE, and sustainability excellence, we set the bar high.



We do not settle for industry standards; we set them. Since FIRST E&P was established in 2011, we have marked our presence in the oil and gas industry with strategic acquisitions and operational excellence, achieving first oil in record time across our assets against a backdrop of the highest health and safety standards.

Our Operations
57,000 BOPD

We are shaping the future of energy with a focus on sustainable solutions. Anchored in strategic acquisitions and partnerships, including significant interests in OML 83, OML 85, OML 34, OML 71, OML 72, we balance upstream portfolio diversity with operational efficiency and financial stability.
‍
Our operations significantly contribute to Nigeria’s oil production, delivering a reliable output of almost 60,000 barrels.

Empowering Talent and Innovation

"Our greatest strength is our people. Our commitment to empowering  Nigerian talent has been key to our success, allowing us to achieve significant milestones. By investing in professional development and encouraging creative freedom, we have created an environment where innovation thrives, propelling both our people and our projects to new heights."
