PETROLEUM CONTRACTORS TRADE SECTION (PCTS)of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry |
PCTS act as a conduit for the Oilfield Service and Contracting companies to develop beneficial synergies within the Nigerian oil and gas sector.
READ MOREIn January of 1956, Nigeria drilled its first successful well
at Oloibiri. With the completion of that first well, the roots of the
Contractor Community who would construct, provide service and grow the
Nigerian Oil Industry, were established.
As a result of the multitude of diverse disciplines associated
with these individual companies, a coherent and synergetic focus on
issues of importance has often been wanting. Opportunities where our
industry could have pooled resources to make meaningful contribution to
our industry, and the Nation at large, have often been missed due to
this disconnection.
The Petroleum Contractors Trade Section (PCTS) of the Lagos State
Chamber of Commerce was inaugurated in July of 2008 to address this
issue. Through this venue the Oilfield Service and Contracting
companies now have a conduit to develop beneficial synergies within our
industry and the Nation. The members of our group are acting in a
non-profit capacity to provide benefit to the society and our industry.
The targets of the Trade Section are based on need, but primarily focus on issues of Safety, Security, Viable Legislation and Corporate Responsibility. All activities of the Trade Section are carried out in conjunction with the Lagos State Chamber of Commerce and Industry under a full transparency doctrine.
We are a contributing partner in the progress of the Nation and are confident that our organization will be a major influence on positive growth and development. Working together, we can all make a difference.
