HAZID, HAZOP & Engineering design review study: 6-kM Waltersmith Gas Pipeline from AGPC to WIIP

We are pleased to announce the commencement of the Operations Safety Case development for Belemaoil Producing Limited’s facilities in OML 55.

This comprehensive Operations Safety Case covers four major offshore platforms—Robertkiri, Idama, Jokka, and Inda—all located within Nigeria’s shallow offshore environment at approximately 25m water depth.
OML 55 lies about 40km west of the Bonny Terminal, spanning an estimated 852km² across the mangrove swamp and shallow offshore region of the south-eastern Niger Delta. Previously operated by the NNPC/Chevron Joint Venture, the asset was handed over to Belemaoil Producing Limited, in partnership with NNPC, in February 2015. Current producing fields include Robertkiri, Idama, Jokka, Inda, and Belema North.

Robertkiri Field sits west of Newcross E&P’s Ekulama Field. Its production infrastructure comprises a 12-pile platform with oil and gas processing equipment, a 6-pile utility quarters and helideck platform connected via bridge, and two separate 4-pile structures supporting the heater treater and the LACT metering system along the San Bartholomew River.

Idama Field is developed using a jack-up Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) and riser platform with capacity for 24,000 bpd of total fluids (15,000 BOPD oil and 9,000 BWPD produced water) and 34 MMscfd of gas. Production from Jokka-1 is tied back to the Idama facilities via manifold.

Inda Field is located approximately 13 km southwest of the Bonny Terminal in 25m water depth, forming part of Belemaoil’s shallow offshore operations.

The development of the Operations Safety Case formally commenced with a field visit and facility inspection to the OML 55 locations from 25th–27th November 2025. The Tomsey team journeyed via speedboats to Robertkiri, Idama, and Inda platforms—an insightful and engaging offshore experience.

The objectives of the facility tour were to:

  • Conduct a comprehensive safety assessment to understand existing operational hazards.

Man, Myth, Manager: Navigating Mental Health in the Modern World

Man, Myth, Manager: Navigating Mental Health in the Modern World

Picture this: it’s Thursday evening. I’m on a client call trying to sort out a price variation on our contract – caused, of course, by the latest jump in material costs. The client is definitely not happy, and it’s a tense meeting. My 3-year-old, overly energetic as always, bursts into the room to show me his latest cartwheel and is insistent I pay attention to his moves. My phone pings — it’s an urgent message from my team about a supplier delay caused by overly zealous customs officers at the Port in Apapa. Meanwhile, my wife is asking if I remembered to pick up the pineapples – her favourite fruit, on the way home. And I still have to prepare a prayer outline for church by the weekend. This is real life.

Being a man in today’s Nigeria means wearing multiple hats: husband, father, COO of a 30-person organization with clients across the country, church worker, and the dependable family member others (uncles, cousins, and everything in between) turn to when times are tough — financially and otherwise. And the times are tough. The economic uncertainty, the price surges, that keep blindsiding businesses and households alike — it all piles on the pressure.

Man, Myth, Manager: Navigating Mental Health in the Modern World

For years, I wore my stress like a badge of honour. After all, wasn’t that what being a man meant? Push through. Provide. Protect. But eventually, I realised that approach was like trying to carry the weight of Lagos traffic on your head — it will crush you.

Man, Myth, Manager: Navigating Mental Health in the Modern World

Now, I take a different approach. I prioritise small moments of connection — the 15 minutes before bedtime when I pray with my boys and talk about their day, or the quick call with my wife during the day where we vent about how our day at work is going. Those moments are my reset buttons.

I also set boundaries (well, I try to!). When that late-night work request comes in, I remind myself: if I’m always available, I’ll soon be unavailable in the ways that matter — emotionally, mentally, even physically.

And let’s not underestimate the magic of community. Games night with friends, or banter after church meetings, goes a long way. It’s not always about finding solutions — sometimes, just knowing you’re not alone in this daily hustle makes a world of difference.

Finally, I’ve stopped chasing the perfect “balance.” Life comes in waves. Some days, business demands more — especially in an unpredictable economy. Other days, the family needs me to be fully present. What matters is being intentional in whatever role I’m in at that moment.

Man, Myth, Manager: Navigating Mental Health in the Modern World

So, this Mental Health Month, let’s drop the myth that we have to have it all together. Let’s laugh, let’s connect, let’s admit when we’re overwhelmed. Because no matter how chaotic the world gets, the best thing we can do — for ourselves and those who rely on us — is to protect our peace.

As we mark this important day, let us recommit to the values of democracy:

  • Active participation in nation-building.

  • Respect for rights and freedoms.

  • Courage to speak, vote, and act for the good of all.

Let us never take for granted the power we hold as citizens. Democracy thrives when we engage — not only during elections but every day in our communities and workplaces.

Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria.
Together, let’s build a stronger, more inclusive nation.
