Bayelsa community shuts Conoil’s 30,000 bpd flow station

The protesting community says the company was “insensitive to its social obligations to the people.”

A crude production flow station operated by Conoil Production at Ango field in Koluama, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa, has been shut by the host community.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the oil workers at the onshore facility connecting oil wells within the swamps and creeks at Koluama were escorted out of the area by speedboats by armed security men.

The aggrieved members of the community had besieged the facility and told the oil workers to shut the facility and leave the site of the 30,000 barrels per day capacity flow station.

Young Fabby, a Community leader in Koluama 1, a rural settlement along the Atlantic coast, told NAN on Tuesday that the facility was shut to protest the oil firm’s insensitivity to its social obligations to the people.

He said the aggrieved community shut operations at the flow station on Monday and sacked oil workers deployed to run the oil facility following Conoil’s failure to renew the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which expired in 2020.

“The Koluama clan was compelled to take the action following the refusal of the oil company to dialogue on several outstanding issues amongst which is the MoU which expired for more than one year.

“All entraties through established channels have been rebuffed. Secretary of Koluama kingdom Oil/Gas Committee, Jonathan Amabebe, had drawn attention to the refusal of Conoil and this is regrettable,” Mr Fabby said.

Abiodun Azeez, the Media Relations Manager of Conoil, declined to respond to enquiries by NAN.

All efforts to get the reaction of the oil firm by e-mail, short message services and telephone calls also remained unanswered.
