NNRA, Heritage Energy Explore Strategic Collaboration for Sustainable Energy Development

NNRA hosted Heritage Energy Operational Services Limited on a courtesy visit led by the General Manager, Operations Integrity, Mr. Nelson Wilbert, to discuss strategic collaboration in support of Nigeria’s energy sustainability goals. Heritage Energy disclosed its current production capacity of 60,000 barrels of oil per day and plans to increase output to 100,000 barrels per day through enhanced reservoir characterization and optimization of existing wells.

The company explained that many of its wells are over 50 years old and require recharacterization using radioactive sources to support deeper exploration and improve production efficiency. It emphasized that the safe use, security, and regulatory compliance of radioactive sources are critical to these operations, underscoring the importance of NNRA’s guidance and support.

In his remarks, the DG/CEO of NNRA, Dr. Yau Idris, commended the company’s visionary growth plans and reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to providing the necessary regulatory support. Discussions also focused on environmental compliance, licensing requirements, and sustainability, in line with the Federal Government’s commitment to safe and responsible energy development in Nigeria.
