Emadeb Petroleum Exploration & Production Company Limited (Emadeb E&P) has achieved the first oil from the Ibom Field (PPL 236).

This, it stated, marks another milestone in Nigeria's upstream oil and gas industry.

Following sustained investment, technical rigour and collaborative effort, Emadeb E&P has commenced commercial production from Ibom Field.

This achievement underscores Emadeb E&P's emergence as a fully integrated energy player and highlights the pivotal role of indigenous operators in advancing Nigeria's energy security and economic diversification.

It also aligns with the Federal Government of Nigeria's vision and aspiration to increase the nation's crude oil production.

Located approximately 30 kilometres offshore, Ibom Field was originally discovered in 1979. The field boasts significant in place volume of 103 million barrels of oil.

Since its acquisition in the 2020 Marginal Field Bid Round, Emadeb E&P has invested over $100 million in a phased field development programme. The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) approved the Ibom Field Development Plan (FDP) in November 2024.

"This milestone reflects our deep commitment to unlocking Nigeria's hydrocarbon potential through homegrown expertise, strong partnerships, and disciplined investment," said Adebowale Olujimi, CEO, Emadeb E&P.
