Sahara is investing heavily in large-scale drilling and facilities/infrastructure investments to drive our aggressive target of producing at least 350,000 bbl/d of oil and 1,000,000 MMScf/d of gas within the next 5 years.
A total of 7 brand spanking new drilling rigs have been purchased with 2 already in the country and additional 2 scheduled to arrive before the end of the year.
OML11 is the first beneficiary of these investments and has taken its first step on this journey, spudding the first of three planned gas and condensate Wells in Okoloma field.
At exactly 14:40hrs on the 23rd of September, 2025 Okoloma-02 was born. These wells when completed will deliver around 70MMscf/d of gas and 4,500bbl/d of condensate when completed.
The gas will help boost electricity supply in the country and contribute its quota to Nigeria’s production targets.
The spudding of the first well by the state-of the-art 2000 Horse Power Land rig named L-Buba represents a huge testament to innovation, multiple-stakeholder collaboration, and shared aspirations between the OML11 JV and Host Communities.
We salute and commend all the Saharians, especially the Arahas Global Oilfield Service’s Team responsible for this feat. It is noteworthy that Arahas is already showing impact through innovative rig operations and overall efficient oilfield services.
Sahara is delighted at this success story of ‘Making A Difference Responsibly’ in the Upstream sector – This is how we bring energy to life responsibly!
