Saga Advisory · Stavanger · Cape Town
From greenfield planning to well improvement, subsea work and analytics — delivered with our partners on the ground in Africa.
Saga brings leading Norwegian oil and gas service and technology companies to African fields — from greenfield planning to well improvement, subsea work and analytics — delivered with our offices in Cape Town and Stavanger and our partners on the ground.
What we deliverWhat we deliver
We combine complementary technologies into one project, from planning a new field to improving the wells you already have. Better quality, lower cost and more revenue from the same asset.
Field and well concepts, well architecture and subsea interfaces, with the right Norwegian technology designed in from day one.
Precision stimulation without hydraulic fracturing, rig-less leak and barrier repair, and shut-in wells brought back to production.
Seabed preparation, ROV tooling, intervention risers and commissioning spreads, mobilised on rental with crews.
Your well and reservoir data reviewed against proven solutions, so rig time and capital go where the return is.
How we execute
Technology only creates value when it is delivered well on site. That is why every project runs through our partners on the ground.
Where we workStavanger
Agreements with leading Norwegian oil and gas service and technology companies, technical vetting, and Norwegian export financing for qualifying purchases.
Cape Town
Commercial lead, project coordination and one accountable team from first screening to contract and deployment.
In-country
Local partners in key markets who handle local content, registration, permits, logistics and day-to-day execution on site.
What we can do for you
We bring the Norwegian technology and equipment that fixes it, and we handle everything between the supplier and your site.
Brownfield and greenfield alike: everything we represent — stimulation, integrity repair, subsea and intervention equipment, floating energy and aquaculture — applies equally to mature assets and to new developments.
More production, fewer shut-in wells, less rig time.
Precision stimulation without hydraulic fracturing: more reservoir contact from the wellbore, designed into new wells from day one or added to mature carbonates and tight, water-sensitive sands. Start with a screening of one candidate well.
Rig-less repair of casing, tubing and control-line leaks and zonal isolation, placed by circulation or bullheading — no rig, no depth limit. Also for plug-and-abandon barriers.
High-pressure riser systems, tensioners, weak links and landing tools for jack-up and platform campaigns in shallow water — rented, mobilised and supported in-country.

For installation contractors and FPSO owners
Seabed, hook-up and commissioning — equipment and crews when the schedule needs them.
Remote-operated subsea excavation, dredging, cutting, coring and high-pressure jetting for pipelines, moorings, tie-ins and decommissioning. Delivered as a mobilisation with our own crews.
Nitrogen, pressure testing, flushing, bolting, cold cutting, hydro-jetting, drying, air, instruments and containers for hook-up, commissioning, turnarounds and shutdowns — with certification and calibration handled.
Torque tools, hot stabs and interface tooling for tie-in and IRM, available on rental with spares and documentation.
For governments, national oil companies and utilities
Gas, power and water infrastructure that floats — in place in months, not years.
Floating storage and regasification units for gas import terminals, with the commercial structuring behind them.
Power from floating gas assets and grid-scale battery storage, structured as independent power projects.
Water supply for coastal cities and industrial zones from floating units.
Norwegian export financing can apply to qualifying purchases. See Financing.
Onshore and offshore fish farms, hatcheries, feeding and biosecurity, from feasibility to operating farm.
Explore aquacultureWell stimulation · field-proven
One of the technologies we represent stimulates existing wells by drilling many small laterals out from the wellbore — connecting the well to more of the reservoir in hours instead of months. For operators with mature fields, it is often the fastest barrel you can add, and the cheapest.
01
A Norwegian well-stimulation technology that creates dozens of small-diameter laterals out from your existing wellbore in a single short operation. Far more contact with the reservoir — higher production, better injection, revived wells — without drilling a new well.
02
Mature and underperforming wells — and new wells from day one. Tight or damaged formations, water-injection wells and carbon-storage injectors, brownfield or greenfield. It runs on standard rig and rigless spreads, onshore and offshore, and avoids explosives and heavy stimulation spreads.
03
Send us a well candidate; you get a written screening within ten working days. A first job is one well, contracted locally through Saga, compliant with local-content rules — executed together with the technology partner's own engineers.
04
When the well has done what it was supposed to do, we move to campaign mode: well-candidate programmes, spares and consumables in-country, local crew training and ongoing support — with Saga as your single counterparty.
Send us a well name and a short production history — we come back with a written screening, expected uplift range and a pilot proposal within ten working days.
Financing your purchase
Buying Norwegian technology through Saga opens access to Eksfin export credit. Eligibility and terms are decided case by case — we do not promise an outcome, we prepare the case properly.
Eksfin is Norway's export credit agency. We are not Eksfin, but we coordinate the application with the technology partner and your finance team.

We contract through local entities, handle import and local-content requirements, and provide in-country support for every deployment. We would rather under-claim here and over-deliver in the technical meeting.
Technology track record
The technologies we deliver are in commercial use with international operators, and their engineers join our technical presentations and pilots. Deployment details and operator names are held by the technology partner and released under their reference terms.
In-country standing
We confirm current registration, local-entity status and applicable local-content requirements for your procurement team in writing before any technical meeting. Each country page lists our presence tier and the next step for that market.
Presence tiers
Saga office: South Africa.
On-the-ground partners: Mozambique, Uganda, Cameroon, Chad, Gabon, Senegal, Morocco.
Partner onboarding: Nigeria, Angola, Mauritania.
All other markets we cover are followed from Cape Town and Stavanger through desk work and travel.
Who you will deal with
Technical specialists from our technology partners join meetings and site visits as needed — so the people who answer your questions are the people who built and run the equipment.
