Quick. Efficient. Safe. Alternative Crude Evacuation and Energy Consultancy in Nigeria.
Who We Are
Commercial Consult Nigeria Limited (CCNL) delivers alternative crude evacuation (ACE) solutions and specialised consultancy and oversight services across Nigeria’s upstream and maritime sectors.
For over a decade, we have worked with operators, regulators, service partners, and host communities to ensure that crude movement remains safe, compliant, transparent, and reliably executed – particularly in environments where conventional evacuation routes are constrained or unavailable.
We support the continued flow of Nigeria’s energy, while upholding the highest standards of safety, operational discipline, and accountability.
CCNL is recognised as a leading authority in crude evacuation strategy and execution across Nigeria, trusted for our ability to deliver clarity, stability, and continuity in complex operational environments.
