OML 40

A 498 km² Niger Delta oil license, jointly held by NEPL and Elcrest, with two producing fields and multiple prospects

Opuama Field

Production from Opuama began in 1975, reaching a peak output of 11,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) from five wells: Opuama-1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 in 1976.

Gbetiokun Field

The Gbetiokun Field is situated to the southeast of the OML 40 block and was discovered in 1987 (Gbetiokun-1 well), drilled by Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and further appraised by Gbetiokun-2 (SPDC) drilled in 1990-91.

Sibiri Field

The Sibiri Field is situated in the western part of the OML 40 block, approximately 7 kilometers from the Opuama Field. The field was discovered in 2022 by the Sibiri-1 well; the first exploration well drilled by the NEPL/ Elcrest JV.

Abiala Asset

Abiala field is a marginal field carved out of the OML 40 block. The field was discovered by Abiala- 1 well drilled by SPDC in 1989. The field was excised of the OML 40 block in 2003 and awarded to Naphta Global Exploration & Production Ltd on the 28th of June 2022 (PPL 209).
