Oil and Gas

Oil and Gas development

The Nigerian oil and gas sector is over 50 years old, with the discovery of hydrocarbon resources at Oloibiri, which is now located in Bayelsa state.

Gas Utilisation Plan

Orient has extensive LPG extraction, gas processing and power generation with gas turbines with an industrial gas supply and distribution

Crude Oil Logistics

OPR has staged evacuation from EPF to Refinery site and then then to the FSO in PH, with a 5 x 1000 MT barges shuttling between EPF and refinery site as well as 2 x 5000 MT moored at refinery site and one 30,000 MT barge for storage moored at PH.

ABOUT OPR

Orient Petroleum Resources is a 100% Nigerian owned ( +/- 3,000 shareholders). OPR was granted LtE/AtC for a 55,000 bpsd refinery in 2002/2004 which was followed in 2005 with a formal granting of OPL 915 & 916 to ensure a guarantee feedstock to the refinery with the vision from to enhance Nigeria content (NC).

Oil & Gas Production from OPLs 915 & 916 blocks

OPR has executed extensive 3D seismic data acquisition covering 640 sq. km in both OPLs 915 & 916 oil blocks, known to contain at least five hydrocarbon bearing fields and completed interpretation of 221 sq.km, re-entered existing ANAR-1 well in OPL 915 and commenced production testing and presently re-entering ALO-1 well in OPL 916. OPR is currently drilling two (2) new wells (ANAR-4 and ANAR-5) in OPL 915.

Refinery Development

OPR-Refining & Petrochemicals Plc was incorporated as a subsidary of OPR with the purpose of establishing a refinery to process crude oil produced by OPR from its oil and gas concessions into refined petroleum products in a phased steps to maximum licensed 55,000bpd. OPR has invested considerable amount of resources, including equity funding to create significant value and achieve several milestones; including land acquisition, completion of process equipment design, topographical surveys, geotechnical & geological surveys, search and successful drilling of water wells, site civil works including tank construction, which is in progress. OPR having successfully completed the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to proceed with the construction of its refinery.

OPR-E&P

OPR Exploration and Production embarked on the development of oil and gas production from its oil blocks to secure feedstock for its refinery. OPR has executed extensive 3D seismic data acquisition covering 640 sq. km in both OPLs 915 & 916 oil blocks, known to contain at least five hydrocarbon bearing fields.

Oil and Gas Development

OPR is currently drilling two new wells (ANAR-4 and ANAR-5) in OPL 915, has constructed over 24 km of 6-inch flowlines, procured linepipes for 45 km bulk lines between the oil fields and refinery site at Nsugbe-Umuleri and established a 5000 bbls/day Early Production Facility (EPF) at Aguleri-Otu for processing well fluids.

OPR-G&P

Orien's short term targets include realizing a production level from new wells of 3000 bbls/day by end year and 10,000 bbls/day by mid 2016 followed by harnessing the gas resources to through production and sales of LPG initially and then the dry gas for CNG and LNG production.
