What to know about borehole drilling in Akwa Ibom

Updated 13 September 2026

For a planned borehole in Akwa Ibom, explain the expected water demand and share any available site investigation. Ask the contractor how the drilling scope will be established and how decisions made during work will be documented. Do not treat a quoted depth for another property as a confirmed requirement for yours.

Keep drilling and water treatment distinct

For a site reached from Eket, resolve rig access and space for the operation before mobilisation. Itemise drilling, borehole construction, pump equipment and subsequent testing; treatment should follow the information needed to select it. Agree what records, results and operating information will be handed over, and how unsuccessful or altered work is treated in the contract.
