NNPC pens agreement to resolve disputes over offshore-oil exports

August 7, 2020442 views0 comments

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has penned a preliminary agreement to resolve a dispute with two energy companies over oil exports, signaling a move toward resolving similar disagreements with other oil majors on revenue from several offshore oil fields.

The NNPC said in a statement on Twitter it signed a deal Thursday with China’s Cnooc Ltd. and Lagos-based South Atlantic Petroleum Co. to settle disagreements over the production-sharing contract signed on Oil Mining Lease 130. NNPC, as the state oil company is known, previously alleged “under-declarations” of crude exports by the companies between 2011 and 2014.

Bloomberg reports the deal is “a major milestone toward the resolution of all disputes,” with energy companies operating in Nigeria, NNPC said without providing details. Mele Kyari, the group managing director, said a year ago that a resolution was in the works.

Nigeria also has differences with oil majors including Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Total SA, Eni SpA and Chevron Corp. on the quantity of crude exported from their fields, claiming five years ago that the companies either failed to declare or under-declared more than 57 million barrels of oil exports. The producers, who pump about 80% of Nigeria’s oil output, always denied the charge.
