Oil Production Resumes At Ebendo Field
Production at the onshore Ebendo field in Nigeria has resumed after a damaged pipeline was repaired, Oando Energy Resources said in a statement.
The Tide source said that the 10-inch Kwale-Akri oil pipeline, operated by Nigerian Agip Oil Company, connects the field on Oil Mining Lease 56 to the Brass export terminal.
“The Kwale-Akri pipeline has been fully repaired and has commenced operations with reduced volumes being injected into the pipeline for testing, to ensure full integrity before full volume capacity is attained,” Oando said in a statement.
The field is currently producing about 2,000 barrels per day of oil. A “gradual ramp-up” over the next several weeks will bring output to 4,000 bpd “as full pipeline integrity is confirmed,” Oando said.
Prior to the shutdown, the pipeline was sending 4,600 bpd from two producing assets – Ebendo on OML 56 and the Abo field on OML 125.
The Abo field produces 3,225 bpd into a floating, production, storage and offloading unit and has not been affected by the pipeline disruptions, Oando said.
Nigerian private Energia operates the field with a 55 per cent stake. Oando owns a 42.75 per cent non-operated interest in it.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
