EA / EJA FIELD — OML 79 • SHALLOW WATER

Redevelopment & Near-Field Exploration

Problem: Redevelopment and near-field exploration.

Solution: Conducted field development planning studies, drilled new wells, and derisked the volumes.

Result: The field was put into production using the Sea Eagle FPSO for evacuation, supporting greater return on investment for operators and stakeholders.

The development was executed through Shell’s decision-gate-3, with funds released for FDP implementation. The FDP included detailed assessment of Technical, Economic, Commercial, Operational and Political (TECOP) challenges and mitigation strategies, integrating high-quality 3-D seismic imaging, effective drilling practices, strong HSE systems and modern production technologies.

EA / EJA Field – OML 79 shallow water redevelopment, Nigeria
DEEPWATER FIELD — BONEO

Volumetrics, Facility Sizing & Full-Field Development

Problem: Volumetric estimation for field development and facility sizing at approximately 1,200 m water depth, with 300–500 million barrels referenced for Sabah, Malaysia.

Solution: Developed deepwater models using Gulf of Mexico analogues.

Result: Full-field development and drilling using static and dynamic models.

Project type: Deepwater oil and gas development.

The Gumusu-Kakap Boneo field attained first oil.

KALAEKULE FIELD — OML 72

Facility Recovery & Production Strategy

Challenge: Field not in production; facilities had been cannibalized.

Approach: Repairs, installation, processing and evacuation strategy, operations and maintenance planning, and gas solution.

Documented status: Work toward returning the facility to production.

UKPOKITI FIELD — OML 108

Pressure Maintenance

Challenge: Reservoir pressure decline.

Approach: Reservoir models evaluating pressure-maintenance scenarios.

Documented outcome: Two wells drilled for water injection, pressure maintenance and voidage replacement.

BONGA — DEEPWATER

Volumetrics & Facility Sizing

Approach: Deepwater static models using Gulf of Mexico analogues.

Documented scope: Full-field development and drilling using static and dynamic models.

Leadership

Experienced leadership across global energy assets.

A multidisciplinary leadership team spanning subsurface, well engineering, asset management, corporate services and governance.

Engr. Christopher Chinemerem Ikeocha

Chairman & CEO
B.Sc., PGD, MPE.

Christopher’s professional experience covers about 30 years, which includes technical leadership roles at ConocoPhillips, Shell, Southwestern Energy, Hess, and consulting engagements with major industry players. His work spans the Gulf of Mexico, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Marcellus, Fayetteville, Permian, Eagle Ford, San Jorge Basin, and several Niger Delta fields. He has successfully applied classical, analytical, and simulation-based approaches to improve production, identify sweet spots, and maximize Net Present Value (NPV) and Return on Investment (ROI) while reducing CAPEX and OPEX.

Vision & Leadership

Christopher is passionate about using data and analytics to foster a culture of continuous improvement and innovation. He is known for challenging the status quo, driving efficiency, and building collaborative, performance-oriented teams. His integrated understanding of subsurface geology, petroleum engineering, and operations uniquely positions him to bridge technical disciplines and deliver measurable business outcomes.

As a strategic leader, he believes in value creation where others see limitations— pursuing opportunities in underdeveloped reservoirs, championing new technologies, and mentoring the next generation of reservoir engineers and energy professionals.
