Halliburton is inviting local companies to submit an expression of interest (EOI) for the supply of goods and services across the oil and gas industry, and African service providers are not missing the opportunity

The EOI has several categories supporting oil and gas operations, such as machine repair and operation tools; oil, lubricants and tyers; lifting materials and accessories; welding and fabrication; calibration, certification and fuel, to mention a few. 

Following submissions, a competitive bidding process will lead to the selection of preferred and alternative suppliers. 

Besides advancing local interests and capabilities, the initiative strengthens supplier diversity as well, contributing to economic growth and market expansion.

Strong presence in Africa

Halliburton has a strong presence in Africa.

In Namibia, Halliburton won a deepwater multi-well construction contract in 2024 for Block 2914AHalliburton won a deepwater multi-well construction contract in 2024 for Block 2914A, which entails the construction of exploration and appraisal wells from Q4, 2024.

In March 2023, Halliburton won a US$1.4bn contract with Honeywell to develop oilfields and refinery for the Libyan National Oil Corporation.

Halliburton secured nine contracts by Woodside Energy for offshore oil and gas activities in Senegal, where the Sangomar Oilfield Development is all set to start production in the coming weeks.

In Nigeria, Halliburton won a US$300mn deal with Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria for a large-scale offshore gas project.

“While various countries have already implemented local content policies that support local participation in oil and gas developments, many nascent producers have yet to establish the relevant local content regulation. Yet, companies such as Halliburton are proving that international service providers, project developers and investors can do a lot without a local content law. Halliburton is not only giving opportunities to local companies but is laying the foundation for a vibrant oil and gas landscape in Africa,” said NJ Ayuk, executive chairman of the African Energy Chamber.

Africa-focused oil & gas production, development and exploration group, Tende Energy, has undergone a management reshuffle with the appointment of Mark Henderson as the chief executive officer of Tende Energy North Africa 

Henderson has been associated with Tende Energy since 18 December 2017, when he was working as a chief financial officer in the company. 

He will be stepping down from the board to focus on the company’s North African operations, where he has been leading a Tunisian team to build its onshore activities. Over the last six months, he and his team are also working to tap into the potential of offshore operations in the region. Tende Energy has set an example in the Tunisian upstream by introducing an exclusively Tunisian crew and support team. 

Besides concentrating on the assets in Tunisia that were acquired last year, Henderson will continue to work on the Anglo Tunisian Oil and Gas business as well. 

His previous position as the chief financial officer will be taken over by John McMurtrie, who brings in more than 20 years of experience in the E&P sector.

Previously, as a CFO with the UK-based Cornerstone Resources Group, McMurtrie worked on the execution of the Petrogas farm-in to the Abbey development and Baker exploration prospects in the Southern North Sea.

Advancing asset transactions in Angola

Jack Pryde, chairman, Tende Energy, said, “The latest appointments are in line with our strategy, as the group expands its operational footprint in the African E&P sector. Mark and his team will continue to achieve further critical mass with the group’s onshore and offshore assets in Tunisia, building on the achievements since taking control in Summer 2023. John brings additional sector experience to our management team, having worked at senior financial management level in the listed E&P sector for the last decade. He is experienced in asset and company farm-in/out transactions. This will come to the fore as we get closer to completing our asset transactions in Angola and move onto the listing of the company’s shares on the London stock market.”
