US EditionNigeria: NNPC Announces Discovery of New Oil Well in Niger Delta
The Awodi-07 well confirms hydrocarbons across multiple zones, marking the joint venture's third discovery since 2024 and supporting Nigeria's energy production goals.
- NNPC Ltd announced the completion of the Awodi-07 appraisal and exploration well in the shallow offshore western Niger Delta, commending Chevron Nigeria Limited for the achievement.
- The well was drilled in late 2025 as part of the Chevron-operated JV's effort to unlock hydrocarbon potential, marking the venture's third discovery since 2024.
- Testing and evaluation produced highly encouraging results that confirmed hydrocarbons across multiple reservoir zones, according to a statement signed by Andy Odeh, NNPC Communications Officer.
