<h1>Ebendo/Obodeti Oil and Gas Project (Nigeria)</h1>

<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The Ebendo/Obodeti Oil and Gas Project is an onshore conventional oil and gas project in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region,operated by Energia Limited. The project produces from the Ebendo field,with the Obodeti field described as undeveloped. The asset is associated with OML 152 and PML 23 and is held in a 55%/45% joint venture between Energia Limited and Oando Production and Development Ltd. The project originated as a marginal field award in 2003 under the former OML 56. It is located approximately 100 km north-west of Port Harcourt,covering about 65 km².</p>

<h2>Ownership and Operatorship</h2>
<p>Energia Limited operates PML 23,formerly the Ebendo/Obodeti Marginal Field in OML 56. The asset is held in a 55%/45% joint venture with Oando Production and Development Company. Oando Energy Resources describes Ebendo as an asset operated by Energia,with Oando holding a 45% interest. The ownership structure reflects Nigeria’s indigenous marginal field development model.</p>

<p>The project followed a staged marginal field development. After the 2003 award,re-entry and recompletion of the Ebendo 1 well led to first oil in October 2009. Early production relied on crude trucking until an 8.5 km,6-inch export line was commissioned in August 2010. Later milestones included gas processing,storage tank construction,flow station upgrades,additional drilling,produced water treatment,and 3D seismic acquisition.</p>

<h2>Infrastructure and Facilities</h2>
<p>The Ebendo flow station has a capacity of 10,000 barrels per day. It is connected to a gathering facility at Umusadege via an 8.5 km,6-inch pipeline. Energia partnered with Xenergi to install a 25 MMscfd gas processing plant (pre-commissioning phase completed December 2011). Two 10,000-barrel storage tanks were built in June 2014,the flow station was upgraded to 8,000 bopd and 25 MMscfd capacity in 2014,and an additional 30,000-barrel tank was commissioned in July 2015. The 51 km,45,000 bbl/d Umugini pipeline,completed in 2014,provides an alternative crude evacuation route to the Trans Forcados pipeline,bypassing the previously constrained Agip-operated Kwale-Brass system. Gas from the Ebendo field is injected into the OB3-linked Kwale Gas Gathering Facility,designed to aggregate stranded gas from the OML 56 producer cluster.</p>

<h2>Production and Reserves</h2>
<p>Global Energy Monitor reports 2015 production of 1.67 million barrels of oil and 253.75 million cubic meters of gas. In 2014,after drilling Ebendo wells 5,6,and 7,gross oil production capacity within OML 56 was 7,140 boepd,with 3,052 boepd net to Oando. Energia reports having produced 1,000,000 barrels of crude by March 2012 and 5,000,000 barrels by March 2016. The operator states a production potential of 10,000 bopd and later upgraded field capacity to 15,000 bopd. OML 56 contains light sweet crude (50–52° API),condensate,and natural gas. Current project-level reserve figures are not publicly reported.</p>

<h2>Recent Developments</h2>
<p>NUPRC concession information published in 2025 continues to list the Niger Delta onshore lease with Energia and Oando as participants. Energia’s corporate description states it operates PML 23,formerly the Ebendo/Obodeti Marginal Field. The Kwale Gas Gathering Facility,commissioned in 2022,receives gas from the Ebendo field,supporting the regional gas monetization effort.</p>
