Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company , which operates OML 29 Wellhead at Santa Barbara South field in Nembe in Bayelsa State, jointly with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation , has assured the people of commitment to their welfare.
Explaining why it took days to stop the spill, Oru said the spill was of a special type – a gas blowout, which involved 80 per cent gas and 20 per cent oil. He noted that this contrasted with the impression being created that the entire environment had been seriously polluted. The company also donated five truck loads of palliatives, including food and medical supplies, to the Nembe Kingdom.
A well control specialist, Victor Ekpenyong, working on the site of the Santa Barbara oil spill, stressed that the claim that the magnitude of the oil spill in Nembe was worse than the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill with over two million barrels of oil spill, was an exaggeration as the well was last known to be producing about 700bpd of hydrocarbon fluid and would as of Thursday, had spilled an estimated volume of about 18,000bpd of hydrocarbon fluid into the environment.
