Environmental Impact Assessment Study For Development Drilling in Ewan 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 Joint Venture (JV), operates from both offshore, and land locations in OMLs 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 (EIA) study to support the drilling campaign for development wells in Ewan field located in OML 49 of its North Offshore Assets.

 In line with the requirements of the Department of Petroleum Resources’ (DPR) Environmental Guidelines and Standards for the Petroleum Industry in Nigeria (EGASPIN, 2002), CNL commissioned Rain Forest Nigeria 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 Ewan field.
