Nigeria Oil Workers To Strike Again: Now Chevron
A dispute between Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and US oil giant Chevron Nigeria is boiling up
A dispute between Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and US oil giant Chevron Nigeria over the implementation of the $3.5 billion Agbami Deepwater oil field development is boiling up.
Under the agreement reached between the NNPC and Chevron, that 300,000 man-hours or 40 percent of the total man-hours that will be spent in constructing the Agbami FPSO vessel should be allocated to Nigerian companies, and that 7,000 tons of fabrication of the entire FPSO be carried out in the country.
Sources at the Nigerian Content Division of the NNPC said that however, some of the packages have been awarded to foreign companies on grounds that local companies lacked the capacity to handle the volume of work already earmarked.
?The company (Chevron) is saying that before now, there were certain companies that had initial preferences, but that they have reviewed them and they (the local firms) don?t have the capacity to do all the jobs and that other foreign companies located in Nigeria should do part of it,? said a source.
