OUR US BASE.
NIGERIA FOCUS.
Hillcrest is headquartered in Texas, the global centre of offshore energy with active operational presence in Lagos and Port Harcourt. This dual positioning gives us immediate credibility with international marine companies, vessel owners, equipment manufacturers, and IOC procurement teams, while maintaining the deep Nigerian market relationships that drive commercial delivery. We operate where decisions are made and where contracts are executed.
IOC TECHNICAL DEPTH
Our technical advisory capability is grounded in over two decades of direct IOC operational experience, including 13 years as a Marine Advisor at Chevron Nigeria, certification as an American Bureau of Shipping Surveyor, MICS Chartered Shipbroker qualification, and an MSc in Marine and Offshore Engineering. We understand the technical standards, vetting processes, and operational expectations of international oil companies not from the outside, but from years of working within them.
45 YEARS OF NIGERIA ENERGY SECTOR EXPERTISE
Hillcrest's downstream and distribution advisory is grounded in 45 unbroken years of active engagement with Nigeria's energy sector, spanning engineering roles within the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, decades of operational experience across pipeline infrastructure and petroleum product distribution, and continuing today through active ownership and operation of petroleum retail businesses. This depth of institutional knowledge covers the full length of Nigeria's energy value chain from upstream infrastructure through midstream distribution to downstream retail and informs how Hillcrest approaches every energy product, supply chain, and distribution opportunity across the Nigerian market. It is knowledge that is not theoretical, not secondhand, and not dated. It is operational, current, and deeply embedded in the structures and relationships that define how energy moves through Nigeria.
