The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has announced the renewal of a series of agreements concerning Oil Mining Lease (OML) 130.

Others in attendance at the signing ceremony were the NNPC Ltd group chief executive officer , Mallam Mele Kyari, the chief upstream investment officer , Mr Bala Wunti, chief strategy & sustainability officer, Oritsemeyiwa A.

The acreage was awarded to South Atlantic Petroleum via a discretionary allocation by the Federal Government in 1998 as an Oil Prospecting License 246. SAPETRO thereafter farmed out 24 per cent to Total Upstream Nigeria and 16 per cent to Prime 130 Nigeria Limited. This arrangement led to OML 130 having two funding and operational mechanisms, the NNPC’s Production Sharing Contract governing half of the block and the International Oil Companies’ Production Sharing Agreement governing the other half. Differences in the interpretation of the 2005 PSC led to disputes that required concerted efforts to resolve, including the execution of the Gas Entitlement Agreement in 2021 and a Settlement and Repayment Agreement in 2022.
