The Aje shallow-water field offshore Lagos is now expected to reach first oil at the end of January 2016 as against December this year previously targeted by the joint venture partners on the project.

One of the partners, Panoro Energy, an independent exploration and production company with assets in Nigeria and Gabon, stated this in a new update.

The company had reiterated in August that the operations at the Aje development remained on schedule, with production drilling underway in the third quarter and first oil production targeted for the end of 2015.

Panoro, in the latest update, said the Aje-5 production well located on the OML 113 licence had been successfully completed and the reservoir had been perforated in the Upper and Lower Cenomanian Oil bearing zones.

It said the subsea tree had been installed and the well had been suspended, ready for connection to the oil production facilities prior to the commencement of production.

Panoro said, “The Saipem Scarabeo 3 semi-submersible drilling rig has been moved to re-enter the existing Aje-4 well for completion as a second Cenomanian production well.

“All key equipment related to the Aje oilfield development has now been delivered to Lagos, including the FPSO moorings and turret buoy, the production manifold, the umbilical termination assembly, and the umbilicals and flowlines.”

The company further said, “In addition, the ongoing refurbishment of the Front Puffin FSPO is on schedule and it is anticipated that the vessel will sail from Singapore approximately six weeks prior to its installation date.

“Panoro currently estimates the project timing and costs to be largely on track, although for planning purposes, the company is now projecting that first oil should take place towards the end of January 2016.”

The joint venture partners led by Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Company Limited had in October last year taken the final investment decision to develop the first phase of the Aje field.

Aje is an offshore field located in the western part of Nigeria in the Dahomey Basin at the border with Benin Republic.

The field is situated in water depths ranging from 100 to 1,000 metres about 24 kilometres from the coast. The field contains hydrocarbon resources in sandstone reservoirs in three main levels – a Turonian gas condensate reservoir, a Cenomanian oil reservoir and an Albian gas condensate reservoir.

Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Company is the operator, with 25 per cent interest in the field. The other partners are Vitol, First Hydrocarbons Nigeria Limited, Energy Equity Resources Limited, Panoro Energy ASA and Jacka Resources Limited.

The JV partners had in January 2014 submitted the Field Development Plan for the Aje field to the Department of Petroleum Resources. The FDP was approved in March and is primarily focused on the development of the Cenomanian oil reservoir.

A magistrate court sitting in Port Harcourt on Wednesday remanded 20 persons who were arraigned by the police for participating in Tuesday's pro-Biafra protest in Port Harcourt.

The accused persons who were arrested and arraigned by police officers from Zone 6 are facing three count charge in Suit Number PMC/1195c/2015.

The accused persons include Benson Sunday, Emmanuel Ali, Ukeme Monday, Chibuzor Eechina, Charles Eze, Egbo Okechukwu, Chibona Ifion, John Douglas, Ezenwa Alphonus, Wori Endurance, Chinomere Nwolu, Henry Eze Friday Uzunwa, Igbodo Abio, Akaniyene Uwem, Eni Iboro, Obinna Stephen, Monday Ocha, Obinna Ibekwe and kingsely Ezengorie.
According to the prosecutor, Mr A. A Ajagha, the accused persons allegedly without lawful authority demonstrated and chanted war songs which caused panic in the neighbourhood, instilled fear on reasonable grounds with intent to intimidate or cause panic within the State and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 37 (1) of the Criminal Code, Cap C38 Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2004.

ThisDay.

y1bos and chest beating.

despite your noise making, shops belonging to y1bos are under lock and key.

that is what a King can do in his kingdom.

knowledgeable:
Okey oo, but for some inexplicable reasons, all these exceptional contributions haven't manifested themselves in the brown roof slums of the brown roof republic.

Populated and prosperous brown roof republic is by far better than the despicable and desolate gully erosion republic, that keeps witnessing brain and manpower drain on a daily basis.

cybertyrant:
Ph is igweocha,bonny is a local government arrea,forcados and escravos are streets just like u have in ur areas,please wat is the original name for victoria island and lagos

U see ,if u live in lagos as an indigene then u are a bastar.d if not tell me their real names

This guy is even more retard.ed than I thought.

The ancestral name for Lagos is Eko aromisa legbe legbe.

VI is just the name of an area under a LG. If you can explain away a Local Government the same suffice for an area.

You can see that you are the official bastar.d, osu caste and 5th class citizen of this blessed country. Eran iya osogbo.

Y1bos lack culture and history. That is a fact.

cybertyrant:
just as i know lagos and victoria island from ur masters, no ancestorial name, thats why it is!"NO MANS LAND"

Going by your stup1d anaylsis, Port Harcourt, Forcados, Escaravos, Bonny Island, and even Biafra that are not your ancestral names are " no man's land".

Sincerely intelligence is a luxury in alaigbo.

meforyou1:
u offer nothing. Igbos offer all these in lagos, a no man's land

Y1bos that cannot develop their own land are the ones developing other people's lands!!!!

I dey laff in ibibio.

It is either that is the 8th wonder of the world or y1bos are "Tippers"!!!

ArodeTsolaye:
Sultan, Junaid mohammed, and Quotasystem the hausa slave of the fulani will not agree with you buddy. Kwara and Offa your father's land was conquered and the Emirate is that eternal signature of that conquest, you can deny all you want. lol

Hausa's are first born slaves, yorubas are second born slaves. Biafrans have no emir on their land Ask Eze Ikwerrre.

Your Obas were eating human beings then and till today, that was why they were very easy to conquer even by pregnant dahomey women, Anytime there is kiriji war,they shared dead human meat with bald vultures and dance owanbe because food don land.

See this pathetic osu caste that is also the 5th class citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and a 1st class citizen of the imaginary online Republic of Biafra.

I though you were daft and now realise that you are an imbeci1e.

Y1bos lack history and culture. Hence, their repeated failed attempts to revise history. Sorry Eran Iya Osogbo, your revisionism is too late.

We destroyed Dahomey Kingdom, the jihadists were alienated during the Jalumi war.

Those were remarkable feats of my forefathers that I am very proud of.

Tell us just one feat of that your forefathers, apart from fighting bare chested in hamlet square over Adaora.

ArodeTsolaye:
Oyigbo or Obigbo still remains the same, maintaining it Igboid meaning. Just like Iheanyi(Imo,rivers) and Ifeanyi( Anambra, Enugu).

Quotasystem(hausa) here on NL reminded you the other day that his lords and masters the fulani conquered and rules over your yorroberland in kwara and Offa. I expected you to reply him but you ran away like typical yorrober.

How daft can you be.

You are trying to hide your eternal slavery under Oyigbo and Obigbo are the same. Who renamed the town? Is it a y1bo town or not?

Ever since it was renamed by the minorities, has the name changed again? No.

Deal with that Mr. Clown.

Conquered? We are ethnicity that was never conquered by any body since the creation of the world. is kwara a state or place? Offa is strictly a yoruba town. Ilorin is a yoruba town that embraced islam before any other place in yorubaland, being a border town between the North and the yoruba.

Hence the embrace of Emirship based on the religious inclination of the majority in.the town.

Tell us one single war that your lazy forefathers fought, apart from fighting over Ngozi's hand in marriage in your hamlet square.

No wonder your lazy fore fathers were only able to bequeath a gully eroded red mud and cursed land to you.

Y1bos simply lack history. The best of your that was recorded was that "you were dancing round a pot of boiling human being"

That is a fact and deal with it.

FreeGlobe:
The actualization of biafra will mark the extinction of the yoruba race.. this is why yorubas are worried and restless

Actualisation my foot. Next year will make it 50years since that word was coined by biafraudsters.

Is it these lame ultimatum issuers and descendants that will actualised it?

How will they?

Bunch of clowns.

ArodeTsolaye:
Did you see the probiafran protest in Obigbo and other parts of Igweocha yesterday?

If dem born your papa lineage well, go and lead a pro-Oba protest in front of the Emir's palace in kwara?

It is called Oyigbo and PH, liar from the pit of hell.

What has your protest resulted to, apart from. Chest beating and lame ultimata you are well known for.

Was Ilorin renamed?

kettykin:
All these can only show that with out Lagos you offer nothing. Besides what benefits has it it profited south westerners besides chronic poverty-stricken area boys, street urchins, omonile, ritualist, extortionist, cultists and noise makers

Is Lagos in the gully eroded land of South Beasts? SS has PH as the nerve centre, NC has Abuja, NW has Kano where do you have in South beasts? No where.

No wonder you keep running away from your cursed land on a per minute billing.

It is even laughable that a y1bo will be describing others using the word crime.

Y1bo is synonymous with baby factory, drug trafficking, prostitution, cannibalism, okija things, fake drugs, fake products, poverty, cain-like migration from their despicable land, armed robbery, kidnapping, rebellion against the state, economy saboteurs etc just to mention a few.

ArodeTsolaye:
See the way you are jumping up and down like a monkey to keep 'hateful Igbos' with you. Of course you have tacitly agreed that you need Biafrans more than they need you. But unfortunately your oduarewa destiny is sacrosanct and can only be postponed but not denied. The fear of Oduarewa makes you pee in your pants. lol

Don't worry Biafra will help you liberate kwara from the fulani kings if you become good boys in yorubaland.

See this flat.head nyamiri.

We will help you to collect back your father's properties hijacked in Port Harcourt, as well as assist you to rename Oyigbo back to Obigbo and all the Umus that were turned to Rumus by Okrikas.

That shows how low our education has sunk.

What is "am"?

We cannot expect better when the set of teachers we are producing, are the ones that bought or cheated their way through school

I'M not joking at all .

U.N laws will stand . indigenous right will be up hold by the UN charters in the world court .

How will it stand? Demonstrate that you know the process you are talking about devoid of name.calling and buccal diarrhoea of expletives.

Have you not read that UN does not dabble into the matter of territorial integrity and sovereignty of a nation?

How will all those jargons you posted as turenchi translate to what the Lunatic Albino promised you ie the actualisation of Biafra or is it Biafra Dream by December 2015?

SovietBomber:
What is wrong with Superstar1 please?

What is the purpose of this silly thread?

The purpose is to hold Nnamid Kanu to his word, so that he will not be referred to as a mere chest beater on January 1 2016, as we are referring to the sissy Mr. "Usain Bolt" Ojukwu.

FFKfuckedBIANCA:
Amadioha bend your mouth there for this fallacy. I challenge you to list the 'delta ibo' owned banks. Lets compare it with the ones owned by the Yoruba

I just did not want to pick.him up on that. Shows how shallow and myopic he is.

NICOGRAVITY:
Sorry to disappoint you. IGBO's have come to stay in Nigeria, they are not going anywhere.
Where will the IGBO's go to?
The IGBO's has too much investments outside IGBO-Land, hence they cannot risk it.
Meanwhile, the last was is still very fresh and engraved in the hearts of the IGBO's, hence the IGBO's wouldn't want anything like war.
IGBO's are peace loving people, well gravelled, very educated, humble and extremely hard working people.
You will be disappointed come December, IGBO's are wiser now.

Better.

You are a Nigerian, I hope more of you will see things from your reasonable perspective.

Most of you are just too gullible to see what you are saying.

All the same, according to the Lunatic Albino -- Nnamid Kanu, Biafra or Biafra will become a reality in 70days time.

Earlier on in the year, the Lunatic Albino, Nnamdi Kanu, the 3rd president of the Federal Online Republic of Biafra and Jungle of Alaigbo boasted and vowed that Biafra would be established by December 2015, in numerous of his illegal, hate-filled and inciting broadcast

The same way Eze Gburugburu Ojukwu boasted of having the best cutlass carrying army that can face Abraham, T72 tanks and stealth fighter jets in the 60s.

To keep track of his Kanu's empty El Dorado promise to his gullible supporters, a countdown is being instituted between today and December 31st of 2015.

For record purpose Mr. Kanu, "The Lunatic Albino", has exactly 70days to fulfill his promise.


70 days to the actualisation of Biafra and the countdown continues.

Chigold101:
who told you Biafrans are seeking recognition from any government in Nigeria.
You are a baby when it comes to politics... Don't you know that this funny government goofed she they failed woefully into the trap of Nnamdi Kanu.

Now he is a world hero.

The same way Ojukwu was a hero.

Words always have different meanings in the Jungle of alaigboland.

I hear you.

What is our business concerning who is y1bo or not?

If people said that are not something, then they are not. It is only y1bos that does not have a clear cut ancestral lineage, history and culture that are always forceful in making anybody and everybody y1bo against their will.

No wonder you forced Igbo language on all, in the old Eastern region, despite a significant number of other minorities.

If ikwerres or ukwuanis etc says they are not y1bo, then they are not. They definitely know their history more than the y1bos that are doing attaché "by fire by force".

Jokers.

Traders of Igbo extraction having shops along Secretariat Road, Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital on Tuesday staged a protest against "outrageous taxes" slammed on them by the Ekiti State government.

They also protested against the way the government had closed down over 100 shops belonging to their members, thereby subjecting them to unwarranted hardship.

During the action, a branch of Zenith Bank and NNPC retail petrol
station were shut down by officials of the Board of Internal Revenue, who carried out the operation, aimed at generating more revenues to the coffers of the State .

The traders marched from their shops to the BIR headquarters opposite Old Governor's Office and sang derisive songs tom press home their demands .

Special Adviser to the Governor on Revenue, Ropo Ogunjobi, was not on seat at the time the Igbo traders invaded the BIR headquarters.

The Igbo traders claimed that they had entered into an agreement with BIR for a tax rate of N5,500 only for the officials of the tax agency to storm their business offices Tuesday morning claiming that the agreed tax no longer subsists.

theDEVILisHERE:
From your post
It seems like you said you don't have time to adress the issue I raised in my post
When you have the time
Let me know

I have time for a cerebral lecture and definitely not for an Ariara market revisionist.

theDEVILisHERE:
Like I said
I don't seem to get what you're driving at
I raised and issue
If you want to counter what I said with verifiable facts
Do so

I do not have the time to be schooling an Ariara market graduate. Return to your master for tutelage.

We have enough arsenal in our kit to disprove all your lies.

Present your lies and see it being knocked off with facts.

Meanwhile, tell us the history of your cannibalistic forefathers, that were recorded as dancing round a pot of boiling human being.

theDEVILisHERE:
Your writeup is queit incoherent for me understand what you are driving at
The bottom line is
It's a historical proven fact that some certain oduduwa worriors where at a point comprehensively defeated and conquered by an amy of women from Dahomey
This cannot be disputed

Of course I do not expect you to be able to comprehend it, because you are an Ariara market graduate, tutored in your 2by2 inches shops.

I laugh in Aramaic.

You can lose a battle but never lose the war. That is a time proven war philosophy. We might have lost some battles to the Dahomey Army, but e eventually sacked the kingdom with a 3weeks siege on their capital.

The Dahomey Army was one of the most feared army in the whole of Africa. Ask the frenchs. Thank your stars that y1bos are not their neighbours, by now those women would have been riding all of you like horses.

The best war your forefathers ever waged was among themselves in your hamlet square, fighting over Adaobi's hand in marriage. Bunch of lazy sissies.

I now understand the reasonwhile your forefathers never won a single war in your non-existent history and no wonder 3million of you were suyaised for fun during the last Biafran war. You simply lack the acumen to comprehend the time proven war philosophy.

Get out with your nonsense Aburi Accord.

If there was no killings of the leaders of other regions by y1bos, there can never be any Aburi.

Aburi ko Saburi ni
