Fourteen Months After Shutdown, NNPC Ltd, Partner Restart Oil Production From Awoba Unit Field

Keen on optimising production from the nation’s hydrocarbon assets to boost revenues and meet the nation’s OPEC production quota, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) and its Joint Venture partner in the Awoba Unit Field, Newcross Exploration and Production Ltd, have restarted production from the Awoba field.

The field which last contributed production to the Bonny Terminal in 2021, was finally shut down in February 2022 due to evacuation issues and crude oil theft.
