Nigeria, Angola mull umbilicals co-operation

LUANDA, November 28, 2018 – Nigeria is considering buying umbilicals from Angola and co-operating with the country in the sector, local media reported Tuesday.

Braulio de Brito, the chairman of the board of the Association of Service Providers of the Angolan Oil & Gas Industry, welcomed the idea, saying the technology used in Angola would have good results in Nigeria.
