Operation in OML 25 stopped in 2017 when the host communities sent SPDC away from the facility over issues of unemployment and underdevelopment.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation with its joint venture partners, Shell Production Development Company and Belema OIL, have resolved the dispute on the operation of Oil Mining Lease 25.
“When I came into the office, the issue was one of the problems that came on the table; there were so many letters from communities complaining about the problem. The NNPC boss said the dispute around the OML 25 had been on for over two years, adding that the end result was that communities lacked peace with the disruption of property and social lives in the area.“For us, the most important aspect of the dispute resolution is that, at least, the communities will have their peace restored.
“It means that the communities will have their peace back and also commence operations with the OML 25. He commended the minister of petroleum for his support and assured that the operations would soon commence in the area. “We have been in discussion with communities and Belema Oil and sometimes under the auspices of government.
He noted that SPDC remained the operator of the OML 25 but assured commitment to ensure that all parties would derive from the benefits.
