Eroton had been in the news recently for some attacks on its facilities in the Niger Delta and a contractual dispute with the state-owned oil firm.
Last month, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and OML18 Energy Limited, both non-operating partners of Oil Mining Lease 18, announced the removal of Eroton as the operator of the joint venture in line with the provisions of the Joint Operating Agreement (JOA).
According to the NNPC statement, the move was to curtail further degradation of the asset and revamp the production of oil and gas.
A few days later, Eroton Exploration and Production Company Limited, insisted that it remained the operator of OML-18. Eroton argued that any dispute whatsoever between the parties were reserved exclusively for resolution under the dispute resolution clause of the JOA
