Decklar Resources Announces Receipt of Final Approval and Commences Production and Sale of Crude Oil From the Oza Oil Field Through the Trans Niger Pipeline
30 November 2023 - 2:30PM
Decklar Resources Inc. (TSX-V: DKL) (OTCQX: DKLRF) (FSE:
A1U1) (the “Company” or “Decklar”) and
its co-venturer Millenium are pleased to announce receipt of all
necessary permits and approvals required to transport oil through
the TNP to the Bonny Export Terminal and the commencement of crude
oil production from the Oza Oil Field. The initial production rates
have been averaging 750 barrels of oil per day (“bopd”).
Sale of Crude Oil from the Oza Oil
Field
As previously announced, Decklar and Millenium
obtained the necessary permits required to sell and export crude
oil from the Oza Oil Field and have now received approval for the
re-certification of fiscal metering equipment required from
Nigerian government agencies to allow for access and production
into the TNP.
Millenium, as operator of the Oza Oil Field, has
signed a Crude Handling and Terminaling Agreement (“CHTA”) with the
Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (“SPDC”)
whereby crude oil produced at the Oza Oil Field will be delivered
through the TNP to the SPDC Bonny Export Terminal. The CHTA
provides for initial available throughput capacity of 1,200 bopd.
Oil currently held in storage tanks at the Oza Oil Field will also
be injected into the TNP, and arrangements are being finalized to
have the approximately 8,000 bbls previously delivered to Umugini
Pipeline Infrastructure Limited (“UPIL”) and held in storage at the
Forcados export terminal tank farm lifted and sold.
Re-Establishing Pipeline
Access
The TNP flows into the SPDC-operated Bonny
Export Terminal and had been shut down for over one year due to
damage, vandalism and high line losses. The TNP was reopened in
April 2023, with efforts and support from the Nigerian government
credited to a great degree for the resumption of operations.
Sanmi Famuyide, CEO of Decklar Resources, said,
“We are very pleased to have received the final necessary approval
to re-establish pipeline access to ship and sell crude oil from the
Oza Oil Field, and have now commenced crude oil production through
the TNP. This is a significant milestone, and the Company will soon
be realizing its first export sales proceeds. The restoration of
the Trans Niger Pipeline connection between the Oza Oil Field and
the export terminal is a significant positive event for Decklar,
and the reopening of the pipeline system will enable Decklar and
Millenium to deliver higher volumes of crude oil to market, with
initial injection of production volumes into the pipeline expected
to be approximately 750 bopd. A steady flow of crude to market will
help to get Decklar into a stronger position where the Company can
actively pursue increasing production volumes from Oza and
resumption of additional field development drilling plans.”
