Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by osisi2(f): 1:07am On Feb 03, 2009 |
Local firm, Addax, strikes oil in Imo Nigeria's oil and gas industry has recorded another landmark, with Addax Petroleum announcing an onshore oil discovery from the Njaba 2 well (formally Okaka) currently drilling in the eastern part of the OML124 license area of Imo State. Addax Petroleum has a 100 per cent working interest under a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) covering the Oil Mining License 124 (OML124) area, whereby the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is the concessionaire. The new discovery may likely become one its largest fields in Nigeria. Addax currently produces approximately 6000 barrels per day from the Ossu and Izombe fields in OML124, which is located within Imo State. President and Chief Executive Officer of Addax, Mr. Jean Claude Gandur said, "I am extremely proud to report an excellent start in 2009 with this successful exploration result in Nigeria as it is a leading discovery that has the potential to be one of our largest fields in Nigeria. The Njaba discovery is the first exploration well to be drilled in OML124 since the mid-80's and these results will increase the production potential of the license area considerably, as well as significantly upgrade the remaining undrilled prospects."http://www.scandoil.com/moxie-bm2/news/addax-petroleum-hits-new-discovery-in-nigeria.shtml |

Honestly though, I don't know whether to be happy or sad with this development. Oil usually is a prelude to for worse to come in Nigeria. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by osisi2(f): 1:14am On Feb 03, 2009 |
Now with sizeable oil wealth in Imo,Anambra and Abia states,I say give us Biafra 2 Likes |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by osisi2(f): 1:15am On Feb 03, 2009 |
Nnenna1: My dear that is my fear o are we now going to have our own MEND or what? God help us |

FG Returns 46 Oil Wells to Abia Now Imo joins abia show us the money! |

**osisi: my sister, i know our compound very well so i am safe. My people love me. **osisi: Mallam no go gree. Without you he is equivalent to Niger Republic. |

Bia, this is a good thing and i can see Russia from Imo. the north would soon come linking pipes to kantangora and Koma |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Nobody: 4:28am On Feb 03, 2009 |
Addax should draw up their ECOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT AND LOCAL COMPENSATION PLAN NOW!!!! Or we'll have another MEND on our hands. Yar Adua is a fool if he doesn't make all the oil companies in Nigeria repair the ecological damage and compensate all the locals of the oil rich communities. What am I saying? I already know he's a fool., There is no point in this. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Ibime(m): 9:32am On Feb 03, 2009 |
We (MEND) will send a delegation to Imo state to teach them how to profit from this new development. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Ikomi(m): 12:03pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
**osisi: That's exactly what ad say, on one condition though. That u would move in with me when we go back there. But u know we were together b4. I mean Abia and Imo. B4 u raise eyebrows. We could still come back together again. I mean me and u. At least a man with some money in his pocket - oil in the ground - needs some happiness. Wats ur answer? |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by debosky(m): 12:20pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
Make una relax oh! This may be the largest field in Nigeria for Addax (a relatively small operator) but it's hardly the largest onshore oil field in the country. That said, it's a good development for Imo - I don't think you will get any revenues from this for another year at the earliest, they need to test further and lay equipment. Addax produces 6,000 barrels/day from around the well, this new one is likely twice or three times the size, but in overall terms, nothing close to the big fields like Bonga pumping 250,000 barrels/day. The reason I'm saying all this is for people to be aware - don't go and kidnap Addax workers and ask for money like MEND, una oil no plenty reach that one. Just ask for like $20,000 ransome not millions like MEND. |

It's a good thing for Igbo people. I also suspect there is gold in Enugu. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by ezeagu(m): 1:12pm On Feb 03, 2009 |
**osisi: Please! Let anyone try anything in Igboland, this isn't the 60's. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by FACE(m): 12:07am On Feb 04, 2009 |
@Debosky, the oil well is only one of many in Imo State. On a dry night, you could see the reflection of the flames (very wasteful and harmful exploration technique) at Izombe , Oguta and co all the way from Owerri. Imo State had 163 oil wells and counting as at the last time they updated this site : http://www.imostate.gov.ng/oil%20&%20gas.html |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by osisi2(f): 12:28am On Feb 04, 2009 |
debosky: we have 163 oil wells and counting ,what are you talking. The 6,000 is just one well o do the math You think Imo state is like that your dry barren Osun state |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by asha80(m): 12:41am On Feb 04, 2009 |
Personally i am not happy about this development.Why? Oil spillage,Enviromental degradation and likely scenario of what is happening in niger delta. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Dede1(m): 4:21am On Feb 04, 2009 |
The people of Njaba in particular and Imo State in general should have stopped this latest development. I hate to see a cent out of crude oil from Igbo land trickle into the coffers of the jungle called Nigeria. I am completely saddened that crude oil exploration is still underway in Igbo land. Believe me, any further discovery of crude oil in Igbo land could lead to uncontrollable chaos. @osisi (FG Returns 46 Oil Wells to Abia) This is another classical ploy of divide and rule by the greedy and wicked leaders of the jungle called Nigeria. Now that the so-called MEND and its leaders have finally realized the stupidity of their forebears, the FG of colonial contraption called Nigeria has decided to return the oil wells ceded to neighbor’s of the Ndigbo. |

Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by SHENANIGAN(m): 5:40am On Feb 04, 2009 |
I hope now the Igbos will leave Nigeria with there new found wealth |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Abagworo(m): 5:53am On Feb 04, 2009 |
the truth is that nigerias inability to develope is correlated with a grand plan against all igbos.actually most of nigerian onshore oil is produced in igboland.igbos have however been balkanized and put at loggerheads.oil was actually discovered in owerri before oloibiri,but swept under the carpet with false claims of not being in commercial quantity.i can assure everyone on this thread that very soon oil will be struck in owerri again.the largest oil producing local government in nigeria is ogba/egbema/ndoni in rivers state.though 99% igbo-speaking,it should be noted that part of it was ceded to rivers state as a result of oil in 1976 to reduce imo's income. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Abagworo(m): 5:56am On Feb 04, 2009 |
@shenanigan.i dont know if you are a nigerian because if you really were you wouldnt have made that statement.igbos already had the largest oil in nigeria.the truth is that no one actually owns offshore.one cannot draw the map of say bayelsa state and add the sea.we had never and will never be dependent on oil.we igbos will continue to lead in education and commerce until nigerians realize the need for justice and equity. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by SHENANIGAN(m): 11:44pm On Feb 04, 2009 |
This new found wealth is only going to make igbos fight amongst themselves then you all will be begging the north for help |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by ezeagu(m): 12:00am On Feb 07, 2009 |
SHENANIGAN: Nobody noticed you, fool! |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by Outstrip(f): 1:32am On Feb 07, 2009 |
I just hope this will not bring trouble. Igbos have already had enough trouble. |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by SHENANIGAN(m): 3:24am On Feb 07, 2009 |
ezeagu: Yo must be the fool here cause you noticed my post you dumb Bleep!! RETERD |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by ezeagu(m): 3:32am On Feb 07, 2009 |
SHENANIGAN: You should really check your spelling before accusing someone of being a "RETERD". . . You obviously have emotional and psychological issues so I shall refrain from arguing with, as some would say, someone way dey craze! |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by SHENANIGAN(m): 5:45am On Feb 07, 2009 |
Hey monkey you the one that crossed my path, I never knew there was an over grown gorilla in the room waiting to be noticed till you showed up. Oh well I won't even give you the time of day cause you not even worth the time or effort. So just crawl back into your rat hole and pretend you never even noticed my post. ezeagu is now being ignored |

Why are these brothers querreling? |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by debosky(m): 11:22am On Jun 29, 2009 |
**osisi:Yeye. Even with the 163 wells, how much is the production? Make una relax jare - it's not that significant and may not begin production till next year at the earliest. Dede1: Interesting - but you don't mind collecting monthly allocation from crude oil receipts from Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta and Akwa Ibom? |
Re: Nigeria's Largest Onshore Oil Well Discovered In Imo State by AndreUweh(m): 7:52pm On Jun 30, 2009 |
Let us not jump in to conclusions yet. What happened to the oil that was discovered in Ngor-Okpala sometime ago?. |
