Our History
Tulcan Energy Resources Limited was established in 2011 as an independent energy company with a strong foothold in Nigeria’s downstream oil and gas sector. The company built its early reputation through the importation, trading, and supply of refined petroleum products, including Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), and Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK). This foundation provided deep market insight, strong commercial relationships, and operational discipline that continue to underpin its growth.
In line with its long-term vision to become a fully integrated energy company, Tulcan strategically expanded into the upstream sector. This transition led to the incorporation of Tulcan Energy Exploration and Production Company Limited on July 22, 2021, as the dedicated and autonomous vehicle for its exploration and production activities.
Following Nigeria’s marginal field bid round and the enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act, Tulcan Energy EPCL was awarded operating rights to key upstream assets. The company became the operator of the Tom Shot Bank (TSB) field in Akwa Ibom State under Petroleum Prospecting License (PPL) 244, and subsequently secured the Odimodi field in Delta State under PPL 227 in 2023. These milestones marked a significant evolution in the company’s journey from a downstream operator to a fully integrated player across the energy value chain.
Demonstrating its growing ambition and technical capability, the company further expanded its asset portfolio in December 2024 with the acquisition of a deep offshore license, PPL 2008, for which the signature bonus has been fully paid.
Tulcan Energy EPCL has since made substantial investments in the development of the Tom Shot Bank field. Key achievements include the successful drilling of multiple wells, installation of critical production infrastructure such as a Lease Automatic Custody Transfer (LACT) system, deployment of an Early Production Facility (EPF), and the construction of flowlines and evacuation pipelines. Crude evacuation is structured through the Qua Iboe Terminal, positioning the asset for efficient and scalable production.
Today, Tulcan Energy Exploration and Production Company Limited stands as a fast-growing upstream operator, driven by innovation, disciplined execution, and a commitment to operational excellence. The company is focused on delivering sustainable and reliable energy while aligning with global best practices in environmental stewardship and resource management.
With a solid downstream heritage and a rapidly expanding upstream portfolio, Tulcan continues to evolve as a dynamic energy company, well-positioned to contribute meaningfully to Nigeria’s energy security and the broader global energy landscape.
