Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), the operator of the joint venture between the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and CNL, has dismissed media reports suggesting an oil leakage from its Funiwa field in Bayelsa State.
“We wish to state that contrary to these reports, there has been no such oil leakage or spill incident at any of our facilities in Bayelsa State,” Chevron’s General Manager – Policy, Government and Public Affairs, Esimaje Brikinn said in a statement.
“Therefore, any observed crude oil in the environment is not from our operations,” he added.
CNL said it remains committed to protecting people and the environment as well as conducting its operations reliably and efficiently.
