Sahara Upstream has deployed the MT D Adesanya, a 380,000-barrel Medium Range (MR) tanker, to increase crude oil evacuation capacity at its OML 18 block.
The vessel deployment is aimed at strengthening logistics efficiency and supporting sustainability initiatives at the offshore field.
The move underscores the company's focus on optimizing upstream operations in Nigeria.
By adding a large-capacity tanker to its fleet, Sahara Upstream seeks to mitigate logistical bottlenecks and ensure consistent crude evacuation from OML 18, a critical asset for its production volumes.
This operational update follows recent strategic shifts within the Sahara Group, which recently appointed Folake Soetan as Managing Director of its oilfield services subsidiary, Arahas.
The leadership change was designed to accelerate transformation across the African market, aligning with broader efforts to enhance operational resilience and service delivery.
