Crestech

What Crestech does

Crestech Engineering Limited is a Nigeria-based engineering services company founded in 2007 that provides Front End Engineering Design (FEED), Detailed Engineering Design, Construction Follow-On Engineering, Project Management, and Procurement services to the oil and gas industry. Headquartered in Lagos with a stated ambition to serve the broader West African market, the firm serves major international and national oil companies active in Nigeria, including Chevron Nigeria, Total E&P Nigeria, ExxonMobil (SNEPCO), Shell/SNEPCO, NNPC Gas Infrastructure, Nigeria LNG, Seplat, and Nigeria Agip Oil Company. The company transitioned to 100% Nigerian ownership in December 2015 when HighCrest Technologies Limited acquired Technip Group's 39% minority stake, and now operates with a peak staff complement of 150 professionals, over 80% of whom are Nigerian nationals, while retaining a project-by-project collaboration agreement with Technip. Annual engineering capacity is stated at 200,000+ man-hours and the firm holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications from Bureau Veritas.

Crestech's engineering scope spans offshore fixed and floating facilities (production platforms, wellhead platforms, FPSO/FSO units), subsea systems (pipelines, risers, PLEMs, suction piles), offshore loading terminal buoys, and onshore oil and gas infrastructure (wellheads, gathering centers, processing plants, pipelines, terminals, storage facilities, gas treatment plants, refineries). The company delivers work using standard industry-grade engineering software—AVEVA E3D/PDMS for 3D CAD modeling, SmartPlant, ETAP, SACS, STAAD Pro, CAESAR II, HYSYS, ASPEN FLARENET, OLGA, PHAST, FLARESIM, PIPESIM, and Primavera P6—supported by a Lagos office equipped with virtual server infrastructure, VoIP/video conferencing, 20+75 kVA UPS, and 2x500 kVA generators.

Crestech generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts, functioning both as a direct engineering subcontractor to oil and gas operators and as a partner in project-specific consortia with EPC contractors. Signature engagements include the Escravos Gas Project Phase 3B (140,000 man-hours for Chevron), Ofon Phase 2 (166,053 man-hours for Total via Nigerdock), Egina FPSO FEED (130,000 hours in consortium), Brass LNG Upstream Project FEED (for NAOC), and the 2024 Escravos-Lagos Pipeline System Phase III Midline Compressor project for NNPC Gas Infrastructure via LEE Engineering. Cumulative project engineering hours exceed 1.4 million across major operators. The company maintains a strategic cooperation agreement with Siemens Energy and subcontractor relationships with Nigerdock, Subsea 7, Technip/DUCO, and Genesis Oil & Gas.

Broad incumbents

• McDermott International: Global offshore EPC contractor for offshore oil & gas (subsea, SURF, fixed/floating platforms) — directly comparable on the offshore engineering design scopes that form Crestech's core offering.
• TechnipFMC: Global subsea, offshore, and surface EPC contractor; Crestech's former JV partner (Technip held 39% until 2015) — retains a project-by-project collaboration and competes for the same Nigerian upstream scopes at a much larger scale.
• Saipem S.p.A. Global oil & gas EPC and engineering services major with established Nigerian operations — competes with Crestech's engineering scope on large upstream/midstream projects while offering far broader portfolio.
• Worley Limited: Global engineering and project services firm with energy transition, chemicals, and upstream capabilities — competes in Nigerian oil & gas engineering services and operates across the broader value chain Crestech addresses.
• INTECSEA (Worley Subsea): Worley's subsea engineering arm providing SURF, riser, and pipeline design services — competes with Crestech's subsea facilities engineering line, particularly for offshore Nigerian clients.
• John Wood Group: UK-headquartered engineering and consulting firm serving oil & gas, renewables, and industrial markets — overlaps with Crestech on offshore engineering design and project management scopes.

Direct peers

• Aveon Offshore Limited: Indigenous Nigerian offshore engineering services provider serving IOCs and EPCs in West Africa — competes with Crestech for local-content engineering scopes on FPSO, platform, and subsea projects.
• Delta Afrik Engineering Ltd: Nigeria-based engineering services firm providing FEED, detailed design, and project management to oil & gas operators in the Niger Delta — directly comparable to Crestech in customer base, scope, and local-content positioning.
• Genesis Oil & Gas Consultants: Houston-headquartered upstream engineering consultancy that has partnered with Crestech on Brass LNG FEED and Sapele Flowstation — comparable as an oil & gas engineering services peer that has tapped Crestech's Nigerian capacity.

Others

• Niger Dock Plc: Nigerian EPC shipyard and fabrication contractor (Total's EPC contractor on Ofon Phase 2 where Crestech was engineering subcontractor) — adjacent rather than competing, as Niger Dock typically procures engineering from firms like Crestech.
