During crude oil expedition operation on 16th of August
2015 an abnormal situation was observed as the oil expedited from Obagi was not
received at Rumuekpe metering station. Expedition was immediately stopped and a
helicopter over-flight was carried out, which revealed oil spill and fresh
excavations on the pipeline Right Of Way.
Relevant authorities have been informed.
In view of the highly volatile nature of the area and the security
concerns, we are working with the Nigerian Security Agencies to secure the
location and provide safe access for intervention teams.
The volume of oil spilled and area of impact have not been
estimated.
