State-owned Nigerian Petroleum Development Company and its partner Eland Oil & Gas are set to start a five-well drilling campaign this month in OML 40 onshore the Niger Delta, writes Iain Esau.
Production from this asset, which borders the Gulf of Guinea and flows to Shell’s Forcados terminal, is currently running at about 26,000 barrels per day all from the Opuama field, according to Eland chief executive George Maxwell.
