The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has expressed its readiness to collaborate with the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society (NMGS) towards growing the nation’s abundant hydrocarbon reserves.
Group Managing Director of the corporation, Dr. Maikanti Baru, disclosed this shortly after being conferred with the honourary fellowship of the Society in Kano, on Tuesday.
Dr. Baru, who acknowledged the “indispensable role” played by geoscientists, mining engineers as well as metallurgists towards the development of the nation’s Oil and Gas Industry, said NMGS was critical to the attainment of the NNPC’s core mandate.
“NNPC pledges to continue to work with you and every willing partner in the search for more hydrocarbon deposits in the country,” he said.
He said it was in line with this collaboration that the corporation developed a strategy involving various geoscience departments in the country’s tertiary institutions which culminated in the renewed search for hydrocarbon deposits in the inland basins.
“Our search is primarily targeted at increasing the hydrocarbon reserves of the country and also to harness these resources which may be in other parts of the country,” he added.
He described as “saddening” last year’s unfortunate incident which claimed the lives of some University of Maiduguri staff working on the Chad basin exploration as well as the loss of one of the corporation’s staff working on the Benue Trough exploration.
“I pledge on behalf of the NNPC that their sacrifice shall not be in vain. There is no better way to honour the efforts of our gallant heroes than to continue the good work they died for,” he added.
On the Chad Basin exploration, the GMD observed that the corporation planned to drill four wells in areas that it has acquired 1, 961kmsq 3D seismic data out of 3,550kmsq planned.

He said NNPC would be going into the deeper Maiduguri sub-basin to acquire more 3D seismic data as soon as normalcy returns to the Chad basin.
“While waiting for normalcy to return to the Chad Basin, we have stepped up efforts in the Lower Benue trough. So far, we have acquired 20km of 2D data out of the planned 455km 2d seismic data,” he added.
On the Gongola Basin, Dr. Baru said four wells were also being planned for drilling to further test the prospects identified around Kolmani River-1, Nasara-1 and Kuzari-1 in 2018.
He thanked the Society for conferring on him with their Fellowship, saying that the recognition would spur him to rededicate himself towards giving his all for the Oil and Gas Industry and by extension the country.
He pledged to re-dedicate himself to the lofty ideals of NGMS, stressing that he would not disappoint the Society in the trust it reposed in him.
