The Aje field is located in oil mining lease 113 (OML 113) in the Benin Basin, about 24km offshore of western Nigeria in water depths of 900m and covers an area of 835km².

OML 113 is operated by Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum with 60% interest and the remaining 40% is owned by a joint venture of Chevron Nigeria Deepwater, Vitol Exploration Nigeria, Panoro Energy, Energy Equity Resources and Jacka Resources.

In 2014, a new 3D seismic survey, covering the whole of OML 113 was acquired and will be used for locating subsequent development wells, as well as pursuing exploration and appraisal targets.
