Senate To Resolve Anambra, Enugu, Kogi Oil Dispute by Okwyla: 5:24am On Jan 06, 2019 |
The lawmaker representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Senator Victor Umeh yesterday noted that Anambra will join the league of oil producing states in the country with full entitlements soon. Umeh made the disclosure in an interview with Akelicious, noting that the Senate Committee on Petroleum Sector (Upstream) was working to resolve the dispute between Anambra and her neighbours, Kogi and Enugu states, who were laying claims to the oil deposit in the state. During the interview, Umeh said the boundary crisis had come up at the national assembly once and was referred to the senate committee on petroleum sector (upstream), which I am also a member. He said, “We have looked at it. Very recently, the committee met. We have involved even the National Boundaries Commission. By the time we settle all these, we will be able to achieve that status (oil producing state) completely. “The oil deposit in the Anambra basin was a reality and no longer in doubt. For Anambra to be classified as an oil producing state, there is a production output to be met. That will have been attained if not because of the claims by the sister states, which affected our production. “Oil exploration has been going on there. I think Anambra started with 80,000 barrels per day. We should have advanced now, but the Kogi people are laying claims to the area, and also the Enugu state; the Uzo Uwani area. “There is no argument if we have oil in the Aguleri area any longer, except that what is affecting it now is the disputes. Once all these are settled, Anambra will fully assume the status of oil producing state, with all the accruing benefits.” full report at https://www.akelicious.net/2019/01/senate-to-resolve-anambra-enugu-kogi.html

The oil is mostly on Kogi land. It is the well head that is in Anambra land. Similar issue happened between rivers and bayelsa. Well head verus flow stations. Well head and oil in Bayelsa, flow station in Rivers. GEJ rules in favour of oil and we'll head location. Source.. . “As a follow up to this call, on 25th July 2001, a team of Geo-Scientist/Engineers was drafted to the area to carry out a very preliminary investigation on the claims of Kogi State Government. The resuscitation of these productive core wells in the area among other areas prompted the granting of an Oil License now known as Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 915 and 916 to an indigenous company known as Orient Petroleum Resources PLC. Orient Petroleum Resources PLC has been taking Crude Oil from OPL 915 since 2012 till date. The percentages of crude oil in the OPL 915 among the three contesting states are as follows; Kogi State- 53%, Anambra- 23%, Enugu- 17% and Edo-3%. No drilling activity from the OPL 916 which belong to Kogi, Anambra and Delta States”. http://kogireports.com/kogi-anambra-oil-dispute-emerging-facts-on-ibaji-oil-well-crisis/ |

DrGoodman: Oil well is just a pipe or a straw to collect fluid from a container. You can put a wellhead anywhere and drill a long deviated well to drain the oil. Ownership oil resources is mostly base on the location of the oil reservoir and not the oil well. That is why Nigeria share some oil production with equitorial guinea because the location of the oil reservoir saddle both countries even though the oil Wells are in Nigeria territories. |
