Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroluem Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru has stated exploration in Northern Nigeria will continue despite having gone 10,075 ft deep in the oil exploration on the Kolmani River II Well.

The NNPC boss disclosed this in Kaduna on Thursday at the 40th edition of the Kaduna International Trade Fair.

He said the corporation is working on the Kolmani River II with optimism and high expectation.

He said the exploration will enable the NNPC do a massive appraisal of the discovery of gas reserves made in 1999 in the region.

Baru said President Muhammadu Buhari has personally urged the corporation to go back to exploration on the Kolmani River II Well.

Drilling, he said, has been going on smoothly, stating as at Thursday’s morning, the corporation has dug 10,075 ft deep with a target to reach 14,270 ft exploration.

“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.

“We will do the needful, if we need to probe any particular section we will take our time to do it, our target date is to see that by the end of May, we complete exploration on that particular well and move to Kolmani River iii which site is almost ready for the rigs to move there and from there we move to other locations,” he said.

He urged stakeholders at the fair to provide an opportunity for stakeholders and long term exhibitors like NNPC to take stock of their participation through the years with a view to consolidating on areas of strength, while working on avenues for improvements.

Baru said the loss of agriculture to crude oil exploitation has retarded local industries that feed on agricultural produce as feedstock, prominent among which he said are the textiles industry as well as tanneries in the North.

On product availability, the NNPC GMD said as supplier of last resort, the corporation would continue to ensure that the nation is wet with “white products” that enable local business movements of goods and services are guaranteed.

Nigeria would have been a forgotten issue if the north had oil..Because they will say they can't share it with Khafirs

Them no go find oil in the name of every gods known to human, Amen!

Na to dey find oil be our exigent priority? To cause more underdevelopment? Yeye people.

Fruitless ventures.Money wasted.
Until north discovers oil in Chad nigeria unity is non negotiable.

God blessed the Niger Delta with Crude Oil.

God blessed the North with Groundnut Oil.

The North should ask allah to bless them with crude Oil the same way God blessed the Niger Delta with Crude Oil.

Una go search tire.

God has already blessed us with oil; the geology of the NE, Bauchi, Benue Trough, Sokoto and even Niger state indicated presence of oil and gas; what is left is to confirm whether these finds are in commercial quantities and their yield economically viable at current crude prices.

Oil exploration is an expensive tedious venture which takes time to succeed - the current Niger Delta oil reserves took years to actualise, it didn't happen overnight; even as we speak now, explorations still going on in that area.

In Sha Allah, northern oil will soon come on stream and by that time we shall be ready to expel some bad belle ppl wey no dey see anything good about the north, her ppl and major religion; dem sabi insult others as parasites but na dem depend on other ppl land as economic refugees.

In fact the only good thing I saw about your post is "expel".

I pray you guys expel the rest of us from Nigeria.

That would be a dream come true.

The point is Northern Nigeria is cursed ,what is not deposited can never be found , if they drill Sambisa may be the blood of Boko Haram and soldier will have turn to oil

Careful of what you are wishing for unless you really mean it - else it might come true.

But Alla has blessed the North with Niger Delta Crude Oil... Or you don't know

All the monies wasted looking for oil should have been used to fund the mining sector in the north where solid minerals are in abundance.


They should keep digging till they find groundnut oil.


Ndi ara!!
