Saga Advisory · Stavanger · Cape Town
More from every field. Lower cost per barrel.
We screen your asset, bring the right Norwegian technology, and stay accountable through pilot, contract and deployment.
Saga screens your asset — brownfield or greenfield — brings the right Norwegian technology, and stays accountable through pilot, contract and deployment — from our offices in Cape Town and Stavanger and our partners on the ground across Africa.
What we doAfrican Energy Week 2026
Meet us in Cape Town, 12–16 October.
Saga's home office is in Cape Town. All three partners are at African Energy Week all week, with technical support from our technology partners' engineers available on request. Book a 30-minute meeting at the CTICC, in a partner suite, or at your hotel.

What we can do for you
Tell us who you are and what is under-performing.
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.
Get more from every well — new or mature
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.
Re-open wells shut in for integrity reasons
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.
Workover and intervention access on rental
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 operators and well teams
More production, fewer shut-in wells, less rig time.

For installation contractors and FPSO owners
Seabed, hook-up and commissioning — equipment and crews when the schedule needs them.
Seabed preparation, trenching and cutting
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.
Commissioning and maintenance equipment on rental
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.
Subsea tooling for ROV operations
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.
LNG import and regasification
Floating storage and regasification units for gas import terminals, with the commercial structuring behind them.
Floating gas-to-power and battery storage
Power from floating gas assets and grid-scale battery storage, structured as independent power projects.
Floating desalination
Water supply for coastal cities and industrial zones from floating units.
Norwegian export financing can apply to qualifying purchases. See Financing.
Aquaculture at national scale
Onshore and offshore fish farms, hatcheries, feeding and biosecurity, from feasibility to operating farm.

Well stimulation · field-proven
More production from the wells you already have.
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
What it does
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
Where it fits
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
How a pilot runs
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
After the pilot
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
Norwegian export finance is available to you, the buyer.
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.
What we can structure
- Export credit for qualifying Norwegian equipment and services.
- Long tenors and competitive terms, in your contract currency where available.
- Norwegian state guarantees can sit behind your own bank instead of replacing it.
- Saga assembles the Norwegian-content documentation and takes the application through with you.
Eksfin is Norway's export credit agency. We are not Eksfin, but we coordinate the application with the technology partner and your finance team.
Proof
What we can evidence — and what we will not claim.
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
Qualified in demanding offshore environments
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
Registration and local-content pathways
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.
