Company Heritage and Expertise

Since its incorporation in 1991, Lee Engineering has transformed from a local contractor into a nationally recognized EPCIOM leader performing brilliantly in the league of multi-national service providing company. Its expertise spans the entire project lifecycle, from conceptual engineering and detailed design through procurement, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and operations and maintenance.

In 2007, the company expanded into full-scope O&M services, and between 2013 and 2016, it successfully executed the complete O&M of OML 34 after the revamp and performance improvement of the project demonstrating its competence in managing and optimizing mission-critical national assets.

At the core of its technical capacity is its ultra-modern manufacturing and fabrication yard in Warri, a landmark facility developed through an investment exceeding $100 million. The yard is equipped for the design, fabrication, and assembly of pressure vessels, heat exchangers, tanks, process skids, and other critical oil and gas equipment, cementing Lee Engineering’s role as a driver of local content and industrialization in Nigeria.

Track Record of Excellence

Lee Engineering has successfully delivered several major projects nationwide, many of which are systemically important to Nigeria’s energy security and industrial growth. Its execution record is defined by on-time delivery, zero downtime, and world-class HSE performance.

Selected flagship projects include:

Assa North Gas Project (Imo State): EPC of a 300 MMscf/d gas treatment facility and installation of three 10MW Solar Turbines for captive power generation.

Gbaran Compression Project (Bayelsa/Rivers): Delivery of two 200 MMscf/d gas turbine-driven compression modules integrated with Shell’s central processing facility.
