Aiteo declares force majeure on NCTL over oil leakage

Aiteo Eastern Exploration and Production Company (Aiteo) announces that it has shut down the Nembe Creek Trunk Line (NCTL) for emergency repairs due to the discovery of oil leakage, effective September 15, 2017.

Our Emergency Pipeline and Response teams are onsite and a Joint Investigation Visit (JIV) with the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency
(NOSDRA) and other relevant government agencies is scheduled for next week to monitor line pressures and confirm safe working levels.

Aiteo is working towards concluding the process speedily and will communicate further developments as they become available.
