Eni and Shell have pledged to accelerate the execution of their projects in Nigeria. Separately, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission recovered over 50 fallow oil fields after enforcing the Petroleum Industry Act. The commission is also intensifying its 'drill-or-drop' policy to prevent operators from warehousing awarded blocks.
