The Platform

A financial structuring foundation. An execution‑first mindset. No fixed lane.

Napier isn't an advisory firm, a passive investor, or a pure trader. We're a principal-led platform that originates deals, structures capital, builds projects, and drives execution — across whatever sector the opportunity demands.

Our engine is investment banking and structured finance. It gives us the rigour to underwrite risk, the credibility to engage institutional capital, and the frameworks to move complex transactions from concept to close.

Where We're Active

Current Focus Areas

Our deepest activity is in gas infrastructure, energy finance, and commodity markets — but the platform goes where value is.

Gas & Energy Infrastructure

LNG, FLNG, CNG, gas processing. Project development from concept through commissioning.

Project & Structured Finance

The core capability. Project finance, prepayment facilities, offtake-backed structures, investment syndication.

Energy & Commodity Trading

Physical crude, refined products, LPG, jet fuel. West African and international corridors.

Infrastructure & Real Assets

Power, logistics, industrial. Where capital meets physical assets and execution creates tangible value.

Upstream Oil & Gas

Acquisition structuring, marginal field financing, production pre-financing across Africa's E&P landscape.

Commodity Exports

Agricultural and industrial commodities — exported globally with integrated logistics and supply chain structuring.

We Don't Fit Neatly Into One Box. That's By Design.

Napier operates across sectors and roles — originating, structuring, financing, and executing transactions wherever we see real value to be created.

How We Work

Originate. Structure. Execute.

This operating model runs through everything — gas, finance, trading, or real assets.

01

Originate

Identify the opportunity. Understand the asset, constraints, market dynamics, and what it takes to move it.

02

Structure

Build the commercial model. Define capital structure. Align stakeholders and risk. Design the execution pathway.

03

Execute

Raise capital. Engage counterparties. Drive negotiations. Close the deal. Deliver.

Core Focus

Gas & Energy Infrastructure

Africa's gas sector is under-built relative to its resource base. Napier is focused on developing the infrastructure to change that — from project concept through to commissioning. Hands-on project development, not desk-based advisory.

  • Mini-LNG plants (5–20 MMSCFD)
  • FLNG — floating solutions for stranded gas
  • CNG mother stations and distribution
  • LNG/CNG virtual pipeline models
  • Gas processing infrastructure
  • Full lifecycle — concept to commissioning
The Engine

Project & Structured Finance

Napier's investment banking foundation enables us to structure transactions that bring clarity to complex capital stacks — aligning interests across operators, lenders, DFIs, and investors.

  • Project finance for energy & infrastructure
  • Pre-financing and offtake-backed facilities
  • Upstream acquisition financing
  • Investment syndication — DFIs, banks, private credit
  • Hybrid capital & risk structuring
  • Financial models & investment docs
Commercial

Energy & Commodity Trading

Napier trades physical crude and refined products across West Africa and select international corridors. Trading provides commercial intelligence and market access that strengthens everything else we do.

  • Crude oil trading & export
  • Gasoil, jet fuel, naphtha, LPG
  • Product marketing in West Africa
  • Trade finance & supply chains
  • Agricultural commodity exports
  • Industrial commodity structuring
Expanding

Infrastructure & Real Assets

Beyond energy, Napier evaluates infrastructure opportunities where capital, operational expertise, and execution capability can create real value — power, logistics, industrial assets. The model is the same: originate, structure, execute. The sector shifts based on where the opportunity is sharpest.

Principal-Led. Execution‑Driven. On the Ground.

A platform built on investment banking rigour, deep market knowledge, and the willingness to do what it takes to get deals done.

Who We Are

Napier Energy is a principal-led investment and execution platform. We originate, structure, finance, and drive transactions across energy, infrastructure, and commodity markets in Africa.

We're not an advisory firm. We're not a passive fund. We operate like a PE holdco — lean, decisive, and commercially relentless. The role changes depending on what a deal requires: sponsor, developer, structurer, capital raiser, trader, partner. The approach doesn't change.

Underneath everything is a financial structuring and investment banking foundation. That's what allows us to move across sectors with discipline — underwriting risk properly, structuring capital efficiently, and engaging institutional counterparties credibly.

We understand the Nigerian and West African operating environment — the regulatory complexity, the FX dynamics, the infrastructure gaps — because we've built and operated through all of it. This is not a platform built on PowerPoint. It's built on deals done.
