The Aje Field is 5% owned by ADM Energy. The field is part of OML 113, which covers an area of 835km² offshore Nigeria.

Depending on the execution and conclusion of an agreement with OML 113’s operator, the transaction is subject to the authorisation of the Nigerian Department of Petroleum Resources and consent from the Nigerian Minister of Petroleum Resources.

It is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.

ADM Energy CEO Osamede Okhomina said: “PetroNor entering the Aje project and taking a lead role in its future development is a strong endorsement of the viability of the asset and its significant potential upside.

“With its extensive offshore technical experience in oil and gas exploration, development and production, PetroNor can help bring near-term production growth and take Aje to the next stage of its development.”
