Hello Gurus in the house. I was thinking about this; due to the recent parties closure of Nigerian boarder against goods... With car buyers no longer given the option of buying car from Cotonou and using land boarders, my thoughts are why not Buy a car at cotonou, then ship the car to Lagos port and clear it... Is this even advisable, cost effective or a total no...

This is how these oil firms keep destroying the environment.


You people should come and see this for yourselves

A Hydraulic workover rig Grace-1 HWU, working for the Nigerian independent Guarantee Petroleum, burst into flames over the weekend in the course of re-entry operations on the Ororo-1 well in shallow water Oil Mining Lease (OML) 95.

The incident was the culmination of a well control situation that had been shaping up since mid -April.

Field data indicate that, in late April, technicians had put the well under control after it had released fluid to surface through malfunctioned Blow Out Preventer (BOP) on the rig, owned by Joeny Holdings Limited. “Well is stable and gas leak at the same level as at when BOP was closed-in. No increase in gas flow”, the report indicated as of April 22, 2020.

But by May 15, the wellhead had caught fire.

“All the personnel had been successfully evacuated off the 300 Series SEWOP (Self Elevating Work-Over Platform)”, reported Guarantee Petroleum, operator of the Ororo field. But the Platform itself had not been moved from the site.

The company had written the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), the industry regulatory agency, since April 23rd, requesting for approval to carry out the needed containment of the flow of gas and fluid droplets from the wellhead. Guarantee claims that the regulator did not dignify it with a response.

DPR spokespersons dd not have any comments on the matter.

Guarantee’s licence to Ororo field had been revoked by the Nigerian government, through the DPR, on April 7, 2020, but the company was deep in the middle of the re-entry operations when the letter came.

DPR’s refusal to respond, in the last month, to Guarantee Petroleum’s correspondences, may have to do with the regulator’s consideration that the company no longer had a right to the field. But that itself throws up a question: How can you revoke a licence right in the middle of operations you have yourself approved? See related story.

On May 15, after the fire incident started, Guarantee Petroleum sought DPR’s approval to use dispersants “and other needed materials “around the well and environs “to avoid loss of lives and further pollution of the communities affected”.

It also said it contacted Chevron Nigeria and Halliburton (the American oil service provider) for help. Chevron, an E&P major, is the operator of OML 95, the acreage from which Ororo field was ringfenced.

Esimaje Brikinn, Chevron’s General Manager, Public Affairs explained to Africa Oil+Gas Report that “the affected facility is a third-party facility and it is not operated by Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) or any of its affiliates”. He added that the company was “prepared to provide necessary emergency response assistance in accordance with petroleum industry emergency response protocol, to help address the situation, if required. CNL remains committed to safety of the people and the environment. CNL will continue working with relevant regulatory agencies and other stakeholders on protection of the environment”.

Grace-1 HWU had been on the well since October 2019.

Dear Gazzuzz

I drive Toyota Highlander 2003 and I have been experiencing some issues in the fuel consumption and after checking it with machine it displayed some error code, ‘knock sensor “p0330”, “P0325” with some number which I replaced and after then the check engine went off on the dash board and came back the next day. Now I noticed block smoke in my silencer especially when am warming the car in the morning.

Secondly, I noticed the time reset once in a while when though I don’t remove my battery head.

Please what can i do?
Thank you.

Hello pros sirs!

I have a Toyota highlander 2010 model, I noticed my car vibrates anytime my speed gets to 100, I asked my mechanic and these are the list of things I have done till date with the aim of solving the problem.
1. Rotate tires
2. Wheel balancing and alignment (3 times)
3. Inner shaft replaced
4. Double check the tires to ensure they are okay.
5. Checked the engine seats and my Mechanic insisted that they are all fine, he further said engine seat could not be the problem...

I once again drove today and the problem is still there, it starts vibrating as soon as the speed gets to 100.

I would appreciate your input please

NotComplaining:
Sounds like he is trying to impose a communist state. Re-registering allows government to assess tax contributions. Small businesses that have been operating under the radar will be captured in this drag net scheme.

It's obvious lagos is on the prowl for new sources of IGR post oil crash. But ordinary people did not benefit from oil boom, so it is shambolic that state gov now want to throw the weight of the economy on their heads.

Hello Gazzuzz. I drive a 2003 Toyota Matrix. when I start the car when the engine is cooled down it’s starts to vibrate and the steaming is not stable and RPM is not stable and after 5mins when the engine is warmed up it then becomes stable. I recently dropped my engine to change rings and then my mechanic noticed one of the pistons from number 1 has crack(piston). I replaced the cracked piston and rings. After coupling the engine back I noticed the same vibrating engine still continued and the mechanic had to drop the engine down again and this time noticed that number 1 hole where the piston stays has eaten and has small clearance making oil pass through it and soaks the plug for number 1. It only clears after some minutes of steaming before the car is stable. Pls I need your advise on this issue. Remain blessed sir.
