A group of lawyers in Abuja have petitioned the Senate Ad-Hoc Committee over alleged illegal oil lifting from the Ugo Ocha export terminal at OML 42 by a company known as NECONDE Energy Limited (NECONDE). They declared that an average of one million barrels of Nigeria’s crude oil is taken away monthly without accurate measurement due to the absence of meters at the export terminal. OML 42 lies in the swamps of the western Niger Delta, having a total of four flow stations with a combined production capacity of around 30,000 barrels of oil per day.
