TotalEnergies confirms oil leak in Egina field

TotalEnergies on Thursday confirmed an oil leak in its 2.3 million storage capacity Egina Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel.

Dr. Charles Ebereonwu, Country Communication Manager at TotalEnergies, disclosed this in a statement.

According to him, the incident, which occurred on November 15, will not affect its daily crude oil production capacity.

He added that the incident will not affect its shorelines, and communities around the facility.

“This is not a massive leak, and the sheen has been treated with the appropriate response that reduced most of it.

“No shoreline or communities have been impacted,” he said, affirming that crude oil production at the 200,000 barrels per day capacity facility, with a storage capacity of 2.3 million barrels of crude, “was not affected by the incident.”

DAILY POST reports that Nigeria’s crude oil production capacity dropped to 1.56 million bpd in October from 1.57 million barrels in September 2023, below the country’s Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) quota of 1.74 million bpd.
