directs Aiteo to halt operation in affected oilfield for appropriate response"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government has ordered Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company (AEEPCO) to stop operation in affected oilfield spewing oil in Bayelsa state pending investigation.<\/p>\n<p>This was contained in a statement released on Tuesday by the press director, ministry of environment, Saghir El-Mohammed.<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe federal government has directed the exploration company, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/22\/aiteo-were-working-with-experts-to-contain-bayelsa-oil-spill\/\">Aiteo<\/a> Eastern Exploration and Production Company Limited (AEEPCO), to halt operations in the area until a proper investigation is carried out,\u201d the statement reads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAlso, adequate measures will be put in place to ensure the safety of lives and property in the area.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Delineating the steps that the government investigation team and Aiteo had taken to cushion the effect of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/11\/24\/oil-spill-fg-orders-timipre-sylva-to-visit-bayelsa-community\/\"> oil spillage<\/a> at Santa Barbara, he added that there will be further curtailment measures to ensure that the leak was adequately managed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIt can be recalled that the spill occurred on November 5, 2021, in a form of a fountain within the proximity of Opu Nembe community at well 1, wellhead located at the southern field of Santa Barbara,\u201d El-Mohammed added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cUpon receipt of the report of the incident, a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) comprising the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) was set up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAlso, the state ministry of environment, community representatives, and Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company was set up on November 6, 2021, to immediately address the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe exercise was inclusive because of inaccessibility to the wellhead location due to the hydrocarbon fumes that saturated the atmosphere in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cConsequently, the JIT directed AEEPCO to shut down in the impacted asset (wellhead) for appropriate oil spill response.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He said that AEEPCO responded by deploying booms and skimmers to contain the spill crude oil from spreading but the hydrocarbon company could not shut the wellhead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAs at November 10, 2021, efforts to shut the well have proven difficult due to inaccessibility,\u201d the press director said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cMeanwhile, in an effort to safeguard the environment and livelihood, staff from the NOSDRA\u2019s Yenagoa field office were deployed to the site to monitor and give a progress report on the measures being taken to address the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThere are further directives to AEEPCO to engage all relevant stakeholders in the spilled oil recovery process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIn this vein, 3,000 barrels of emulsified crude oil have been recovered and held in a recovery barge.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He said that more booms were deployed by the Clean Nigeria Association (CNA) system to aid the on-site recovery contractor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cFurther effort yielded result as containment and recovery within the leak area have been reinforced by November 15,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">El-Mohammed stated further that the CNA had mobilised to the site for intensified containment and recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He also said that Boot and Coots, a company mobilised for well control and securing and AEEPCO had obtained temporary work permits for expatriates expected in the country for the activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Based on JIT reports, he said that a control company named Kenyon International was at the incident location for an on-site assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cMeanwhile, containment and recovery are still ongoing. It is instructive to note that the wellhead experts have arrived in Nigeria and will commence work on killing the well,\u201d El-Mohammed added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHowever, in order to ensure safety and guarantee future operations in the area by AEEPCO, NOSDRA has mandated the company to carry out concrete actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cThe action is to address the situation that includes clean-up of impacted areas, remediation of spill site as well as damage assessment and post-spill impact assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cNOSDRA, through the federal ministry of environment, will keep the public informed on future developments on the spill incident with an effort to contain the further spread and limit the effect on the environment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government has ordered Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company (AEEPCO) to stop operation in affected oilfield spewing oil in Bayelsa state pending investigation.
