Lagos, Dec. 22, 2020 Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc has signed a Crude Purchase Agreement (CPA) with Waltersmith Petroman Oil Limited to supply the latter between 2000-4000 barrel of oil per day (bopd) .
Mrs Edith Onwuchekwa, Company Secretary and General Counsel of Seplat, announced this in a notice posted on the website of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Tuesday in Lagos.
According to the notice, the transaction will eliminate crude oil losses, create local jobs and ensure that Nigeria’s crude oil is refined in Nigeria to boost economic growth.
It says the CPA is for the supply of between 2,000 and 4,000 bopd from existing working-interest production from the Ohaji South Field within OML53, for Waltersmith’s new 5,000 bopd modular refinery at Ibigwe Field, in Imo State.
