Modern Fleet. Maximum Depth.
We own and operate the most modern fleet of AC/VFD land drilling rigs and Swamp rigs in Nigeria, manufactured to ISO 9001 and API Standards, capable of drilling to 25,000 ft.
State-of-the-Art Rig Fleet
Charlvon began its journey in 1993 with a modest 300-ton barge and has steadily expanded into a world-class oil and gas services company. Today, we operate five state-of-the-art land drilling rigs and one swamp rig, solidifying our position as a key player in Nigeria's drilling sector.
Our modern fleet of land rigs and competent rig crews have a record of delivering safe and high-quality drilling operations with minimal or zero flat times. We are amongst the few land drilling contractors with a 15,000psi BOP in Nigeria.
We successfully delivered an exploration well achieving a depth of 18,850ft, a record in all NEPL operations — a testament to our technical capability and operational excellence.
