Prospecting is the first stage in discovering the oil and gas fields, under which seismic surveys are carried out.

Kyari said the results of exploratory activities confirmed the presence of substantial hydrocarbon resources in the state and called for prompt action on the project as the global energy transition had led to a reduction in investment in fossil fuels.

“This work must be done very fast because the whole world is walking away from fossil fuel due to energy transition, the earlier you go to market, the better for you,” Kyari stated.

“Otherwise, 10 years from now, no one will agree to put money in the petroleum business except it comes from your cash flow.”
