Vision
To be a world-class energy corporation committed to excellence and stakeholder value.

Who we are
Emadeb Energy is a leading indigenous oil and gas company playing across every sphere of the industry value chain - delivering value to clients and stakeholders, with a focus on sustainable growth.
Brief history
Incorporated in 2007 and commenced in 2008, Emadeb has grown organically into one of Nigeria’s leading energy companies. We have helped meet the nation’s energy needs in crude oil exploration, storage and distribution of petroleum products, retailing of petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas, and the sale of lubricants.
Growth has been infrastructure-led: a sixty-million-litre tank farm on a private jetty in Lagos, a retail and LPG network, a company-owned lubricant range, and a dedicated exploration and production company holding the Ibom field.
Corporate philosophy
Vision
To be a world-class energy corporation committed to excellence and stakeholder value.
Mission
To deliver superior solutions through operational excellence, people and partnerships.
Brand essence
Delivering exceptional value.
Core values
Exceptional value at the jetty, the pump and the field - measured in cargoes placed, trucks loaded and people looked after.
Laboratory discipline, documented systems and counterparties who expect ISO-grade work from an indigenous group.
Host communities, colleagues and partners sit on the same ledger as barrels and litres.
Contracts honoured, cargoes measured, and relationships held to the same standard in Lagos as in London.
Terminal, trading desk, E&P and retail operate as one group, not a collection of silos.
The standard is world-class infrastructure and the operating rhythm to match it.
