NNPC to continue oil exploration in the North — Baru - Vanguard News Nigeria

Speaking with journalists in Kaduna at the on-going trade fair in the city, the NNPC boss said, continuing with the exploration will enable the NNPC do a massive appraisal of the discovery of gas reserves made in 1999 in the region.According to Baru, the corporation was working on the Kolmani River II with optimism and high expectation, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari had personally urged the corporation to go back to exploration on the Kolmani River II Well.

He said that as at the moment, the corporation has dug 10,075 ft deep with a target to reach 14,270 ft exploration by the end of May. “The main purpose of this well is to start some massive appraisal of the discovery that was made way back in 1999 of some gas reserves in Kolmani River 1 and so far the drilling has been going on smoothly to enable exploration.”

vanguardngr even after they found nothing so far.

vanguardngr We don't expect less from you anyway. Until sensitive appointment is based on skill and expertise and admission is based on merit as well merit, we will not fall short of this type of leader.

vanguardngr Why is MBuhari letting this go on? The North ecosystem already destroy by chemical fertilizer. ExxonMobil after many decades at Qua-Iboe are selling out. Why NNPC Baru can't purchase the Qua-Iboe oil fields and diversify upstream. Don't know how much oil is left at the field tho

vanguardngr Can 'farming exploration' and exploration of other mineral resources that are as difficult to find as oil is difficult to find in the North, also begin and continue in the South? Can PMB tame killer-herdsmen and encourage farming more? Equity sent me to ask

vanguardngr Another form for easy looting

vanguardngr Keep digging man 😂

vanguardngr And they can not pass bill on Ajoukuta ion reverterliation

vanguardngr Wasting this country's moni all in the name of getting oil in the north....the day they will finally discover oil there will be the day this country splits by the Northerners

vanguardngr Na mud water una go still find. Use your farm land to do cow business!

vanguardngr Leader with shallow vision.

vanguardngr Even if it will take vertical drilling to niger-delta

vanguardngr And u shall not see

vanguardngr This country has a lot of divisive tendencies this money being wasted on fruitless ventures could have been better used to tackle education and poverty in the North these are what the North earnestly neef now not this visionless search for hydrocarbon that will be a farce

vanguardngr whose cost?

vanguardngr This people are sick

vanguardngr Money for prospecting and exploration amounts to billions, which should have been channeled to other viable sectors of the economy up north. But these empty and myopic minds will not stop nonsense

vanguardngr Selfish northern elites.. Help your people. Modern Farming is the biggest oil prospect in the North. It will employ so many youths and empower them .

vanguardngr Money that should be invested in Education in the North is being wasted on oil exploration.

vanguardngr Hope you find what you are looking for after expending such huge sums of money NNPCgroup

vanguardngr Instead of wasting resources and time in this search that will soon fade away because of new technology coming up, why not put the resources in search order aspect of development

vanguardngr K
