OML 30 landlords seek 60-year lease payment from Heritage Energy
The oil families and landlords of Oil Mining Lease OML 30, operated by Heritage Energy Operational Services Ltd, are seeking immediate payment of over 60 years’ lease arrears owed by the company, without any additional delay.
After the conclusion of a meeting attended by over 100 community representatives at Coral Govinar Hotel, Ughelli on 30th Jan, 2025, the OML 30 Oil Families/Landlords, in a resolution signed by its National Chairman, Barr Alfred Serumeh and National Secretary, Hon. Anthony Odhe, resolved that:
“The OML 30 Operator, Heritage Energy Operational Services Ltd must implement a new rent payment per hectare to reflect the current prices of crude oil, as directed by the then Delta State Commissioner for Oil and Gas, Hon. Chief Vincent Oyibode.
“That the old lease rent of N200,000 per hectare was no longer sustainable in view of current realities hence the demand for N1,000,000 per hectare.
“To pay the over 60years leases owed the Landlords of OML 30 without further delay.
“The oil landlords appealed to the Federal and state government and other stakeholders to prevail on Heritage Energy Operational Services Limited to pay the lease and annual rentals to avoid untold consequences which may mar production in OML 30.”
