NOSDRA intervenes again in SPDC/Bayelsa community oil spill face-off

The federal regulatory agency, National Oil Spills Detection and Response Agency, NOSDRA, has again waded into the lingering face-off between indigenes of oil-rich Ikarama community in Yenagoa Local Government Area, Bayelsa State and Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, over the oil spill.

NDV recalls that the community and the oil giant have been at daggers drawn over the cause of spill at Okordia-Rumuekpe pipeline, November 12, 2019.

SPDC disagrees with result of NOSDRA’s test

However, NOSDRA subjected a section of the contentious 14″ pipeline to third-party examination to resolve the dispute on the cause of the leak at the company’s oilfields in the area, but SPDC disagreed with the findings of a joint investigation of the spill incident, which had pointed at corrosion and rendered the investigation inconclusive.

The breached part of the pipe was cut out and taken to NOSDRA’s office where the spill agency reportedly deployed ultrasonic testing method, UTM, to scan and examine the pipe, but the results were not accepted by SPDC.

Director-General/Chief Executive Officer, NOSDRA, Mr Idris Musa, said: ”The matter is not resolved yet because we want to get an unbiased report on the cause of the spill whether it was due to corrosion or third party interference.”


“The agency insists that the UTM exercise be carried out so that we can all be assured of a very clear and technologically proven cause notwithstanding allegation of perceived ‘sweeping under the carpet’ by some quarters,” he said.

Reacting to the development, Media Relations Manager, SPDC, Mr Bamidele Odugbesan, stated: “On 24th November 2019, we received a report of a leak on the 14” Okordia-Rumuekpe trunk line at Ikarama in Bayelsa state. The same day, we isolated the injecting facility and contained the spill to stop a spread. In this case, not much oil was sighted at the incident site.”

“The host community initially refused to grant site access to the JIV team, but eventually, a team of representatives of the host community, NOSDRA, Bayelsa State Ministry of Environment, and SPDC conducted a JIV on 28th and 29th November 2019.
