Shoreline Natural Resources

Shoreline Natural Resources was incorporated on 10th December 2010. The company is a joint venture between Shoreline Power Company Limited, a Nigerian Company which has extensive interests in the power sector together with a strong network of relationships and Heritage Oil. Shoreline Natural Resources (Nigeria) B.V, a subsidiary of Heritage Oil Limited, which has a strong technical expertise and operations in the upstream sector in Tanzania, Papua, Russia, and New Guinea. Shoreline Natural Resources leveraged on the divestment plans of the Shell Petroleum Development Company Limited to sell its participating interests in some assets located in Nigeria. On 4th November 2012, Shoreline Natural Resources acquired 45% Participating Interest of SPDC in Oil Mining Lease 30 (OML).


The Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (“NPDC”), a subsidiary of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) holds the remaining 55% Participating Interest in the OML 30 license.

Business Challenges

We support an expansive user network of more than 200 individuals across the country and into across Nigeria, to which we routinely email communications,” explains Shoreline IT Manager Emmanuel Haruna Say’s “These communications are diverse, and might cover anything from marketing communications to instructions for IT updates required by the system. Others may be time-sensitive or require feedback or action. Our challenge was that, where communication was aimed at specific users, groups, or areas within the business, we had no way of targeting only this segment.

The result was that all users would receive all communication, regardless of whether it was relevant to them or not. Faced with a flooded inbox, many delayed reading internal messages, or ignored them altogether, which meant that important information was being lost. While senders could see whether a message was delivered, there was no way of tracking whether it was actually read.

We needed a means of streamlining our internal and external communications to ensure that the right communication was not only sent to the right people, but that the content was being read and understood. A read receipt only indicates successful delivery; understanding is not guaranteed.

 

We needed assurance that the content had actually been read and comprehended by its intended audience,” says Erasmus. “Since most communication includes digital attachments, sending out bulk mailers to the entire directory also put pressure on network resources. These were being depleted unnecessarily, due to the number of attachments being emailed to staff,” says Emmanuel.
