The government of Nigeria has worked out a settlement with foreign
operators it owes money to. The government, through NNPC, owes firms
like Chevron, ENI, ExxonMobil, and Shell for operating costs incurred
over a five-year period from 2010-2015.
According to the
government, it worked out a deal that has it paying $5.1 billion to the
foreign operators. The amount, less than the $6.8 billion previously
discussed, will be settled through crude oil sales over five years and
will be interest free.
Nigeria still owes the companies $2.6 billion from 2016 operations.
