Environmental Impact
Assessment For Development Drilling in Mina Field

Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL), a subsidiary of Chevron Africa & Latin America Exploration and Production (CALAEP) and operator of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)/Chevron Nigeria Limited Joint Venture (JV), operates from both offshore, and land locations in OML’s 49-55, 89, 91 and 95 in the eastern and western areas of the Niger Delta. CNL proposes to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment study to support drilling campaign for development wells in Mina field located in OML 49 of its North Offshore Assets.
In line with the requirements of the Department of Petroleum Resource’s (DPR) Environmental Guidelines and Standards for the Petroleum Industry in Nigeria (EGASPIN, 2002), CNL commissioned Rain Forest Limited to carry out this Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study. This EIA report provides information intended to establish the existing environmental conditions of the study area and provide an assessment of impacts associated with the proposed drilling activities in the field. The EIA report will also support CNL’s application for environmental permits for effluent/waste discharge for development drilling activities in Mina field.
