NETCO was established in 1989 to acquire Engineering Technology through direct involvement in all aspects of Engineering in the Oil and Gas and non-oil sectors of the economy. NETCO is Nigeria's premier indigenous Engineering Company with the strategic vision of providing Basic/Detailed Engineering, Procurement, construction Supervision and Project Management services, using state-of-the-art Technology. It was a JV between Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and American Bechtel, Inc.

The main object was to fulfill NNPC's strategic vision of developing in-country engineering capability which will enable Nigerians to design and build plants and facilities for the nation's oil and gas industry, and other allied industries.

NETCO started commercial operations in August 1990. From 1990 to 1996, NETCO worked alongside Bechtel staff and executed more than 50 engineering projects. These include CHEVRON's Onshore Gas Plant of the Escravos Gas Project Phase 1, a project that involved more than 143,000 engineering manhours and is still the most technologically advanced engineering effort ever undertaken in Nigeria by Nigerians.

The NNPC/Bechtel joint venture lasted until April 30, 1997 when Bechtel exercised its options under the Shareholders' Agreement and formally withdrew. NNPC purchased Bechtel's shares, thereby making NETCO a wholly- owned NNPC subsidiary.

Since the exit of Bechtel, NETCO has executed many significant projects and was awarded the prestigious ISO 9001 Quality Certificate in May 2000 by Bureau Veritas Quality International (BVQI). This achievement is the first by any indigenous engineering company in Nigeria.
