According to the minister, some dots were still being connected for arriving at the final decision on the Eni-led project.
“The nation doesn’t plan to issue any new offshore licenses before elections due in February. We are shooting for later this year on a final investment decision at the Zabazaba development, as some contractual details are being fine-tuned”, he told Bloomberg.
The Zabazaba field development is being executed alongside Etan field, and the two are expected to grow Nigeria’s oil production by 150,000 when the project comes on stream.
