Following the federal government’s revocation of the Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) on four assets belonging to Addax Petroleum Exploration Nigeria Limited (APENL), the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has announced the kick-off of processes that will lead to the handing over of the facilities to new owners.
The oil and gas industry regulator stated Thursday that a committee has already been set up in preparation for the formal ceremony culminating in the takeover by the new operators, Kaztech/Slavic Consortium, after it was taken from the erstwhile owners.
A statement issued by the Head, Public Affairs of the agency, Mr. Paul Osu, said the committee was inaugurated in Abuja on Wednesday by the Director of the DPR, Mr. Sarki Auwalu.
