01
Valves, wellheads & Christmas trees
Crated assemblies with controlled handling and serial-level tracking from Houston pickup through Lagos or Onne customs.
02
Drill pipe & OCTG
Casing, tubing, and drill pipe — bundled, racked, or loaded in 20′/40′ flat racks, with thread protection and inspection before the sail.
03
Machinery & industrial equipment
Mud pumps, top drives, drawworks, compressors, generators, and skid-mounted process equipment. Containerized, RORO, or breakbulk depending on the unit.
04
Subsea & completion equipment
Manifolds, jumpers, completion strings. Climate-controlled and shock-monitored transport where the specification requires it.
05
Urgent spare parts
Time-critical air freight: 5–7 business days door-to-door from $4.90/lb ($60 minimum), with same-week pickup across the Houston metro.
06
NDT clearance & export docs
Non-destructive testing certificates, export licenses, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin. Prepared in-house.
The corridor
Houston to Nigeria, end to end.
One company owns every leg: our Stafford, TX dock receives your cargo, our team loads the weekly consolidation, and our Nigeria Customs-licensed declarants clear it at Lagos or Onne.

Rates
Door-to-door rates, clearance included.
Published, all-in pricing for the two modes that move most oilfield cargo. Heavy-lift and out-of-gauge moves are engineered and quoted per shipment.
| Mode | Best for | Door-to-door rate | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air freight | Urgent spare parts, machinery components, NDT-cleared instruments | $4.90/lb ($60 minimum) | 5–7 business days incl. Lagos clearance |
| Ocean LCL | Valves, wellheads, drill pipe, OCTG, consolidated equipment | from $150 | 6–8 weeks incl. clearance |
| FCL, flat rack & OOG | Rig sections, breakbulk units, project loadouts | Quoted per shipment | Varies by dimensions and weight |
Door-to-door means pickup at your door in the US and delivery in Nigeria, with customs clearance handled by our own team — not billed back as a “clearing surcharge.” More benchmarks: how much it costs to ship to Nigeria.
Complex shipments
Out-of-gauge, heavy-lift, and project cargo.
Complex international freight is its own discipline. When cargo will not fit a box, we engineer the move — same end-to-end control, scaled up. Rig-down or shutdown? Charter air and expedited ocean options come with a single point of contact, after hours included.
A
Route surveys
Origin and destination surveys before the quote, so the plan matches the road, the crane, and the vessel.
B
Multi-axle & SPMT
Heavy hydraulic trailer configurations for modules and skids that roll rather than lift.
C
Heavy-lift cranes
Mobile harbor cranes and floating assets booked where the discharge port needs muscle.
D
Permits & escorts
Oversize movement permits and escort coordination on both ends of the lane.
E
Vessel chartering & breakbulk
Part-charter and breakbulk options for the loads where containers stop making sense.
F
DG & hazmat handling
Dangerous goods under IATA and IMDG — Classes 1–9 — with compliant packing, marking, and documentation.
Credentials
The compliance stack that lets us move what others can't.
SGK Global holds every certification needed to handle commercial, federal, and project cargo across air and ocean modes — and on the Nigeria side, our own licensed declarants file Form M and PAAR, plus TIP and NCDMB documentation for energy-sector imports.

FAQ
Oil and gas logistics questions, answered.
Do you ship oilfield equipment from Houston to Nigeria?
Yes — by air and by sea, door to door. Air freight covers urgent spare parts and machinery components in 5–7 business days from $4.90/lb ($60 minimum). Ocean LCL from $150 covers valves, wellheads, drill pipe, and OCTG in 6–8 weeks. Both include Lagos customs clearance and delivery.
Can you handle urgent spare parts and rig-down situations?
Yes. Air freight is the default for time-critical parts — 5–7 business days door-to-door, with same-week pickup across the Houston metro. For genuine rig-down emergencies we arrange charter air and expedited ocean options, with one point of contact on weekends and after hours.
What does it cost to ship valves, wellheads, or drill pipe to Nigeria?
Consolidated ocean LCL starts at $150 door-to-door. Out-of-gauge pieces, flat racks, and project loads are quoted per shipment based on dimensions, weight, and handling. Rates are published door-to-door with clearance included — no clearance surcharges invented at the port.
Do you handle Nigerian customs clearance, Form M, and TIP?
Yes. Our Nigeria Customs-licensed declarants clear cargo at Lagos and Onne, and our documentation team prepares Form M, PAAR, and TIP filings for temporary equipment, plus NCDMB compliance for energy-sector imports. The full checklist is in our oil and gas equipment shipping guide.
Do you only serve Nigeria?
Nigeria is our deepest lane — weekly ocean sailings and daily air options — but the same oilfield practice runs across West Africa, the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean, with the certifications to match.
