Global energy production technology services company Proserv, appointed a country manager to Nigeria in its quest to expand its African assets. Olu Phillips will be responsible for overseeing the company’s operations in the region.
Olu was previously chief financial officer (CFO) for oil & gas services company MRS, with responsibility for a wide geographic remit spanning from Nigeria, Senegal, and Guinea to Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon, and Togo. Having initially joined MRS in 2009 as finance director for Nigeria, Olu was made CFO in 2010 and held this position for three years. Prior to this, he worked for Vetco Gray as financial controller for Nigeria.
He said: “The market in Nigeria is very dynamic and the oil & gas opportunities are immense. An ambitious company like Proserv is well placed to capitalize upon these opportunities and I am very excited about the prospects of building upon the company’s presence in the region where it already has an operational base in Port Harcourt with plans to open a second office in Lagos.”
The appointment of a country manager for Nigeria follows recent success in West Africa for Proserv. During May, the company announced it had won a multi-million dollar contract in Angola to design and manufacture a subsea sampling system for BP’s PSVM field development. Operating at a depth of 2,000 meters, the system is believed to be the deepest offshore project in Africa.
