Oando Energy Resources (OER) was one of the companies working in Nigeria’s Niger Delta that benefits from the completion of the 45,000 bpd Umugini pipeline. The pipeline provides an alternative route for crude oil produced from OER’s Ebendo Field through to the Trans Forcados export pipeline.
Previously firms like OER, as well as Mart Resources and its partners on the Umusadege Field had to rely on the Agip operated Kwale-Brass infrastructure to get their production to the export pipeline. Over the past couple of years the Agip pipeline has seen some shut-ins for repairs which constrained production for some of the operators in the Niger Delta.
The completion of the Umugini pipeline will aid OER in getting new production to market. The company saw the successful drilling of Ebendo wells 5, 6, and 7 and its production capacity from OML 56 grow to 7,140 boepd gross for OER and Energia Ltd., the operator of the asset.
Commenting, Pade Durotoye, CEO Oando Energy Resources said: “The completion of the Umugini pipeline now allows us to maximize the value of our investments to date on the asset and provides the latitude for further profitable development of prospects and resources identified in Ebendo.”
