Item 8.01. Other
The Company announced that its floating production storage and offloading (“FPSO”) vessel had an emergency shutdown, which resulted in the shut-in of the Oyo-8 well. In addition, due to non-release of the nominated marine tanker for the crude oil offtake by the Nigerian authority, the first quarter crude oil lifting that was scheduled for the end of March, 2018 has been delayed. This has led to the suspension of Oyo field production operations including the FPSO. The Company continues its efforts to resolve these matters.
