Connecting Upstream Opportunities with the Right Partners

Talis Transcontinental Limited supports indigenous participation in Nigeria’s upstream oil and gas sector through Exploration and Production advisory, partnership facilitation and commercial support. We help asset holders engage suitable international technical and financial partners for the development of their oil and gas interests.

Our company profile records relationships with 23 indigenous oil and gas companies holding E&P concessions in the Niger Delta. These relationships provide a platform for identifying opportunities, opening technical discussions and bringing together parties with complementary capabilities.

We understand that an upstream partnership must work on several levels. Local knowledge and asset ownership need to align with technical expertise, capital, technology and operational capacity. Our role is to help those discussions move towards a coherent project and commercial framework.

Our Upstream Capabilities

E&P Advisory and Commercial Support

We support indigenous companies seeking partners for the development, acquisition, financing and optimisation of upstream assets. Our involvement is shaped around the opportunity, the asset holder’s objectives and the technical and commercial questions that prospective partners need to understand.

Technical and Financial Partner Sourcing

We facilitate engagement with international E&P companies, investors and specialist partners. The focus is on matching the needs of an opportunity with relevant expertise, financial capacity and an appropriate appetite for the proposed project.

Indigenous–International Partnerships

We help create opportunities for collaboration between indigenous concession holders and international partners. These discussions can cover joint ventures, technical collaboration, investment and longer-term commercial relationships, depending on the requirements of the parties involved.

Upstream Project Structuring

We support commercial discussions around asset development and partnership arrangements. Clear objectives, defined roles and an understanding of project requirements help prospective partners assess how they may contribute and what further evaluation is necessary.

How We Support a Partnership

  1. Clarify the opportunity. Understand the asset holder’s objectives, the available project information and the support being sought.
  2. Identify relevant partners. Consider suitable technical and financial participants against the requirements of the opportunity.
  3. Facilitate engagement. Bring the parties into focused discussions about capability, investment, development priorities and potential collaboration.
  4. Support commercial alignment. Help the parties define the proposed relationship and the next steps for their technical, commercial and regulatory evaluation.

Our approach combines knowledge of Nigeria’s upstream sector with relationships that can connect local opportunities to international expertise. We focus on partnerships with a clear purpose and a credible basis for further development.

Our Growth Direction

Talis intends to expand from advisory and partnership facilitation into direct participation in exploration, field development, production and asset acquisition. We also intend to develop capabilities in petroleum trading and energy commodities.

These are growth objectives, subject to the appropriate technical, commercial and regulatory requirements. Our established role remains upstream advisory, business support and partnership facilitation.

Who We Work With

We welcome enquiries from indigenous concession holders, international E&P companies, technical service providers and investors exploring Nigerian upstream opportunities. A defined project brief helps us understand the asset, the proposed investment or technical role, and the stage of engagement.
