NNPC TO INTENSIFIES SEARCH FOR OIL IN CHAD BASIN - BUHARI


The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC is stepping up measures to ensure a successful operation in the ongoing search for crude oil in the Chad Basin and other parts of the Inland Sedimentary Basin even as President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered for deeper inquest into the prospectivity of some hitherto neglected finds in some areas in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru made this disclosure on Monday while receiving the Governor of Bauchi State, Mallam Mohammed Abubakar who was on a courtesy visit to the NNPC Towers, Abuja.

Dr. Baru informed that the renewed search for hydrocarbon deposits in the Chad Basin would entail extensive probing of some allocated and non-allocated oil blocs in the region with a view to establishing the magnitude of the deposits.
