TAG Energy Nigeria Limited is expanding its strategic focus beyond engineering services to oil production, with plans to invest in oil fields in Nigeria and other African countries.
Managing Director, TAG Energy, Mr. Yemi Gbadamosi, revealed this strategic plan during the presentation of ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certification to TAG Energy in Lagos, on Tuesday.
He revealed that TAG Energy is currently looking at the possibility of acquiring some acreages and developing its own field so that it can join the league of oil producers to support the current administration’s quest to increase the volume of oil & gas that Nigeria produces.
“In the next five years, our projection is to become an oil producer. We are exploring opportunities to acquire acreages and develop our own fields in support of Nigeria’s drive to increase oil and gas output,” Gbadamosi said.
The acquisition of ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Certification marked a significant milestone in TAG Energy’s operational growth and alignment with global best practices in the oil and gas industry.
The certification, issued by Bureau Veritas, affirms the company’s commitment to excellence, safety and quality in service delivery across the upstream oil and gas industry.
Gbadamosi said the ISO certification underscores the company’s dedication to operational excellence and continuous improvement within a high-risk industry.
“The certification means a great deal to us as a player in Nigeria’s upstream sector. Safety and quality are the bedrock of our business. It is important that we always deliver top-quality products and services while maintaining the highest safety standards,” he stated.
The TAG Energy boss explained that the certification process spanned about two years, involving rigorous internal and external audits, documentation reviews and process assessments.
He stated that the company remains committed to sustaining and improving the standards that earned it the certification.
“One of the main ethos of quality is continuous improvement. Continuous improvement mindset is what brought TAG Energy to where it is today.
“We will continue to improve. We have management and board commitment to maintain and even improve on the quality of our products to our customers.
“We have engaged both internal and external auditors to ensure ongoing compliance across all areas of our operations,” he affirmed.
Presenting the certificate, the District Chief Executive for Nigeria and Managing Director of Bureau Veritas, Mr. Jean-Michel Perret, commended TAG Energy for its dedication to global standards.
“ISO certification strengthens internal systems and enhances business credibility. It is a globally recognised mark of quality, and TAG Energy has truly earned it,” Perret noted.
The Assistant General Manager of TAG Energy, Mrs. Peluola Adeniji, traced the company’s quality journey to 2015, when its sister company, TAG Lines Nigeria Limited, was certified under the ISO 9001:2008 standard for supply chain management and manpower support services.
She said the latest certification has further strengthened the company’s internal processes, improved customer satisfaction, and boosted operational efficiency and risk management.
Adeniji added that the process has led to measurable gains, including stronger documentation and process consistency, an enhanced safety culture, and increased customer trust.
