Subsidiaries
GNPC Exploration and Production Company (Explorco)
The GNPC Exploration and Production Company Limited (Explorco) was borne out of GNPC’s aspiration to grow its interests and participation in exploration and production activities in the country. Explorco is also a key plank of GNPC’s strategic tools to achieve rapid capacity building and technology transfer to GNPC staff to enable the attainment of the Corporation’s goal of becoming a world-class operator in 15 years.
GNPC sought to meet this ambition by taking on measured commercial risk in selected blocks through Explorco and build operating capability through the Joint Operating Company (“JOCs”) concept/model with world-class operators.
Following relevant approvals from the GNPC Board and the Minister for Energy & Petroleum, Explorco was registered as a Limited liability Company in November 2012.
