PROFILE OF THE COMPANY OF CASE STUDY
Intel’s Nigeria limited was establish over twenty seven years ago with vision to develop an integrated logistic solution offering a complete package of facilities and services to the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
Initially, operating under the name Nicotics services limited the company’s, name was changed in 1995 to Intel’s (Integrated Logistics services) limited and now operates under the name of Intel’s Nigeria Limited.
In 1982 the foreign contractors building the Onne Port complex of the Federal Light Terminal (FLT) The Federal Ocean Terminal (For and the internal Terminal (ITT) abandoned the construction due to non-payment of fees by the federal government of fees by Federal government of the time. The Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) then invited the private sector to operate at FLT, which was the only partially completed section of Onne Port development available at this time, Fot lying underdeveloped for a further decade.
After a detailed analysis of the logistics needs of the oil and gas industry, we (Nictes/Intel’s) took up the challenge of developing a unique concept of establishing handing which would further enhance savings.
To enable the implementation of this efficient and cost saving mobility of operation in 1984 we applied for an were awarded a five years lease of NPA facilities of Onne complex, warri Old port complex and calabar new port. These three ports were hitter to udnerlisted but were strategically located for creation of integrated transmits and supply base ultimately oil service centre.
Intel’s Nigeria limited, working in conjunction with Intel’s west Africa Limited has become established as a leading supplier of oil and gas logistic support service throughout west Africa and particularly in Nigeria.
Firstly in Nigeria, the later In other countries, intel’s has pioneered the concept of an integrated “One stop-stop” oil service centre .
Bringing together terminal operations, logistics, transmit and supply base service which in turn has led to significant savings for oil and gas industry in terms of money, time and requires resources which has been a great benefit to all of the oil producing companies (OPC) and for both major and start up companies integrated transmit/supply base with the boundaries of the port complex in Onne, Warri and calabar.
The result let to nationalizing of the logistics requirement of the import and supply of equipment and materials control as well as fro customs and immigration. Obviously, a rationalized and integrated approach to the logistics needs of off shore exploration and production and a major cost saving effect for all parties involved in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
The introduction and subsequent acceptance of the shared facilities and service concept by all the major oil producing services and various related oil and gas construction companies have drastically reduced operational cost to NNPC and it partners and the rationalized and integrated approach and an even higher costs saving effect when deep offshore exploration and production activities started in Nigeria.
