About us

Learn about our mission, vision and core values

Applefield E&P is an independent Nigerian exploration and production company focused on responsibly developing offshore resources. Recently awarded PPL 2005 and PPL 3017 through a competitive bid round, the company plans to sustainably develop these blocks using smart subsea wells and FPSO technology. The projects are expected to add about 140,000 barrels per day, supporting Nigeria’s goal of reaching 3 million barrels per day. Applefield’s strategy combines efficiency, reduced emissions, and environmental responsibility while aligning with the Federal Government’s deepwater hydrocarbon development and energy sufficiency mandate.

0 sq. km

PPL 3017 – situated in similarly challenging ultra-deep waters of 2,700–3,700m. This acreage is strategically positioned to unlock new reserves and contribute meaningfully to long-term sustainable oil and gas development.

Our assets

Explore our deepwater assets designed to power Nigeria’s future — responsibly and sustainably.
Block PPL-2005

Covers an area of 955 sq. km in water depths of 2,402–3,543 meters. This block holds significant hydrocarbon potential within Nigeria’s deepwater terrain.

Proven Petroleum System

The Opukiri discovery well in OPL 242, located east of the contract area, provides clear evidence of a working petroleum system supporting hydrocarbon generation.

Block PPL-3017

Spanning 932 sq. km in water depths of 2,700–3,700 meters, this block complements PPL-2005, bringing the total contract area to 1,887 sq. km.

2.5 Billion BOE

The contract area indicates a P2 (50%) recoverable volume of 2.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). Exploration and appraisal activities aim to confirm recoverable resources with over 95% certainty.

Exploration to Production

A phased program of two exploratory and two appraisal wells is planned before moving to production, with first oil targeted by 2030.

At Applefield, sustainability is at the heart of every project, driving responsible growth that leaves a lasting impact.
