This research was conducted with the aim of exploring the barriers to effective project communication between services companies and oil exploration companies.

On the channels employed in chandelling project, the study revealed that the Staff of Adonai chandelling has largely used telephone communication medium, WhatsApp, e-mail, and text messages as means of communication. On the communication barriers in ship chandelling project, the study revealed that, inability to determine project stakeholders’ needs for information, inability to determine communication channels, insufficient interaction between team members and inappropriate communication media. Mechanisms for enhancing effective communication as found from the study include the creation of a communication process through which information must be sent and received, informing ships about new products and explains the use of the product properly, and the creation of communication strategy to enhance onshore and offshore dealings.
