The Opuama Flowstation is equipped with a helipad that is currently not functional.

To ensure that this helipad is available, especially for prompt medical evacuation, if necessary, specific safety upgrades were implemented to meet regulatory requirements by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA).

To this end, the OML-40 JV recently designed and constructed a robust firefighting and suppression system around this helipad and Flowstation area to not only obtain the relevant NCAA certifications but to improve the overall safety of the Flowstation for the operational personnel.

The project is near completion and is expected to be commissioned in Q3 2024.
