Abstract         

This study, titled “Evaluation of the Impact of Technology Infusion on the Management Performance of Seplat Energy Nigeria Unlimited, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria,” examines how the adoption of modern technological tools influences organizational efficiency and overall management performance in the oil and gas sector. The main objectives were to evaluate the extent of technology application within Seplat Energy, assess the effect of technology infusion on management performance, and determine the impact of cloud computing on operational efficiency. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design and utilized both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to employees of Seplat Energy, while secondary data were sourced from books, journals, and institutional reports. The study population comprised 1,623 employees across two major departments—Exploration and Technical Services. A sample size of 451 respondents was determined using Yamane’s formula at a 4% margin of error. Data were analyzed using F-statistics. The findings indicate a significant level of technology application within the organization (F_calculated = 3,368.322 > F_tabulated = 2.7858). Furthermore, technology infusion has a statistically significant positive effect on management performance, and cloud computing significantly enhances operational efficiency. The study concludes that technology adoption serves as a strategic driver of organizational effectiveness. It recommends increased investment in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), continuous staff training, and expanded cloud computing utilization to sustain operational excellence. The study contributes to empirical knowledge on technology-driven performance improvement in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry and suggests future research in areas such as AI integration, cross-sectoral comparative analysis, and longitudinal technology performance evaluation.
