Two international oil majors, Shell and Schlumberger and Nigeria’s Techno Oil Ltd. have clinched awards for excellence in service delivery to Africa’s largest economy, Nigeria. The awards were bestowed on the companies on Thursday at the 6th Nigeria International Energy Summit (NIES 2023) Industry Awards in Abuja.

The NIES Lifetime Achievement Award celebrates industry executives, who make remarkable contributions to change the face of the energy industry, and who have also demonstrated outstanding leadership and performance over the years.
