Nigeria’s 2026 Oil & Gas Licensing Round: Technical Preparedness Matters

With 40 blocks on offer across land, shallow water and deepwater terrains, informed technical evaluation is essential for prospective bidders.

Evaluating an opportunity goes beyond selecting a block. It requires careful consideration of available subsurface data, reservoir characteristics, development potential, technical risks and the economic assumptions that inform investment decisions.

Substrata Oil & Gas Limited provides technical services to support upstream projects and informed decision making, including subsurface studies, seismic services, reservoir and well analysis, economic evaluation, engineering and well service support, and Echometer acoustic well diagnostics.

We welcome conversations with prospective bidders, exploration and production companies, investors, and organisations seeking qualified technical service partners.

Excessive sand production remains an issue in the Oil and Gas industry
Technical July 2026

Excessive Sand Production: A Critical Challenge in Oil and Gas Operations

Sand, an unavoidable byproduct of oil and gas extraction, poses a significant threat to the integrity and efficiency of production equipment.

Production facilities worldwide face the persistent challenge of sand accumulation in their extraction processes. When produced with hydrocarbons, sand particles can cause severe erosion, equipment failure, and reduced operational efficiency. Understanding and implementing effective sand management strategies is crucial for maintaining asset integrity and optimizing production.

Sand separators, also known as sand traps, play a pivotal role in removing sand particles from the production stream. There are three primary types of sand separators:

  • Cyclonic separators - Use centrifugal force to separate sand particles from the fluid flow
  • Gravity separators - Rely on density differences for particle separation
  • Spherical separators - Compact design for efficient sand removal in limited spaces

These solid particles, if not removed, can cause damage to equipment, affect product quality, or lead to safety hazards. Sand Trap technology empowers our customers to maximize asset value through enhanced well performance and extended asset life.

Magnetotellurics Method in Oil and Gas Exploration

Understanding how electromagnetic methods can enhance hydrocarbon exploration through deep subsurface imaging.

Magnetotellurics Method

MT is a passive electromagnetic method that measures natural variations of the Earth's magnetic and electric fields over a wide range of frequencies to investigate the subsurface conductivity structure. This method uses natural variation in the geoelectric and geomagnetic field as a source of energy.

MT is sensitive from a few hundred meters to several 100km depth, making it particularly valuable for deep hydrocarbon exploration.

Key Advantages

  • Environmental friendly - Passive method using natural electromagnetic fields
  • Cost effective - Less expensive than seismic surveys for regional studies
  • Portable equipment - Can be conducted in remote and difficult-to-access areas
