Who We Are

A Multidisciplinary Environmental Partner, Owned and Run in Nigeria

Quatenary International Company Limited was incorporated in 2007 as an environmental and laboratory firm, and has grown into a multidisciplinary services company working from Warri, Delta State — at the centre of the region we know best. We render quality environmental, laboratory and field services to national and international operators across the oil and gas industry.

We are one of the most experienced and dynamic companies in the Nigerian environmental service sector, offering tailored solutions for environmental and waste challenges to a large number of oil and gas companies in the Niger Delta. We also work for clients in other sectors, helping them run their businesses in the most environmentally sustainable manner available to them.

We are equipped with a consortium of highly skilled and experienced professionals dedicated to innovation, and we are deliberately client-centred. Every engagement starts with your regulatory position and your deadlines — with fieldwork and accredited laboratory analysis delivered under one roof.

Vision & Mission

To be the model indigenous service provider — delivering comprehensive, excellent, prompt and high-quality services everywhere we operate.

Accredited & independent

Registered with NUPRC, NMDPRA, NOSDRA and the Federal Ministry of Environment — 100% Nigerian-owned, so our findings answer to no operator.

Our own laboratory

Fieldwork and an in-house environmental & bio-monitoring lab under one roof — no sub-contracting, and results defensible before a regulator.

Since 2007, on the hardest sites

Nearly two decades delivering for NNPC, Shell, Nigeria LNG, TotalEnergies, Seplat and other operators across the Niger Delta.
