96% of the OML 915 & OML 916 falls within Anambra state territory. The remaining 4% is under dispute by Kogi and Enugu states. Orient Petroleum Plc is currently producing petroleum ONLY within Anambra state boundary, so I don't understand why Kogi and Enugu states want to be declared OIL PRODUCING states. What kind of wicked envy is this?

96% of what? Where is your source? Erm, Oga please be informed that the oil wells where Orient is currently operating or conducting its' exploration activities, cover more than 3 states. Those wells are located across Anambra, Kogi, Enugu and other state boundaries. OPL 916 which you referred to consists of oil wells that are dry (i.e. they lack oil).

Kogi Oil: Experts Want Technical Committee on Anambra, Kogi Dispute

Geographically, the Anambra Basin literally sits on top (north) of the Niger Delta and like the Niger Delta, cuts across several states, including Anambra,Benue, Delta, Edo, Enugu and Kogi. The basin, also like the Niger Delta, has been divided into blocks and awarded to various companies with work commitments enshrined in the various agreements signed. That of OPRL is a Sole-Risk Agreement with a commitment to build a refinery.

OPL 915 lies across the states of Anambra, Edo, Enugu and Kogi, with about 50 percent of the block in Kogi, while the remaining states share the other 50 percent. There are four wells drilled on the block by Elf Petroleum – Anambra River-1 in 1967, Anambra River-2 and 3 drilled later in 1984. The company in 1985 drilled Oda River-1. The three Anambra River wells are located in the Anambra State part of the block, while Oda River-1 was drilled in Kogi State. No wells have been drilled in the territories of Edo or Enugu States.

OPL 916, on the other hand, is located immediately south of OPL 915 and covers Anambra, Edo, Delta and Kogi states, with about 80 percent of the block in Anambra State. Like OPL 915, the block has four wells drilled – Nzam-1 (1954) and Alo-1 (1976) both by Shell, while Elf drilled both Okpo-1 and Iji-1 in 1985. According to reports, Alo-1 found gas, while others have ‘dry’ reported as their current status. All wells except Iji-1 are located inside Anambra State. Iji-1 is in Delta State.

The present controversy is caused by the attraction of the 13 percent derivation fund that will start accruing to Anambra State as an oil and gas producing state. If the Anambra River field is entirely situated inside the territory of Anambra State (and this can only be revealed by the seismic data currently being acquired, and new wells that will follow), then all of the benefits will go to the state. On the other hand, if it extends across the state’s boundary, then some aggregation of reserves on both sides will be used as basis to determine what belongs to each state. http://kogireports.com/kogi-oil-experts-want-technical-committee-on-anambra-kogi-dispute/

Mr man, so if they told you guys to fight igbos , you will come out? All these guys are just using federal government to protect yourselves because if it happens, it will be like a giant trampling on an ant. Y'all should just calm down, we have fought ur masters in the middle of the north and they didn't do much, so fighting few remaining villagers when their sons are away shouldn't make you come here and be making mouth.

hmmm..your level of intelligence is worrisome..when war starts the sheer population of the igb.os will definately give them an advantage..comparing the entire igbo pple with a minority tribe in terms of war shows your level of clulessness (am tryin to avoid using the word stu.pidity here)....am talkin of one on one situations..you can make all the noise on earth but it dosnt change the fact that the last three boarder crises we had with the igbos of anambra had..they all ran for their dear lives youths inclusive..soooo stop the chest beating and live in peace for all the wars you participated in from the civil war to ethnic crises emanating from the igbo coup and then boarder crises ..you lost in all of them..ordinery few fulani herdsmen in south east nigeria are already keepin you on the edge..am done responding to you.get a life

Who says Kogi state doesn't have oil in commercial quantity.Abeg Kogi deserve the status.
