1.0 INTRODUCTION
This document defines the strategy to be employed by SLOT ENGINEERING NIGERIA LIMITED, to
ensure the maintenance of harmonious relationship with the host community that will be directly impacted
by our operations in the above referenced project. This harmonious relationship will ensure timely
execution of the project and safety of all persons involved in the project execution.
The intent of Afam F5 Reservoir Development Project is to enable the timely provision of additional
gas supply from the AFAM- F5 field to Okoloma Gas Plant, in order to bridge a projected shortfall in
gas supply and to meet with growing gas demand from the Eastern Domestic Gas Network.
The Afam field is located in OML- 11 in SPDC’s Eastern division, approximately 32km East of Port
Harcourt.
Okoloma Gas Plant was originally constructed to supply gas to Afam Power Plant located
approximately 1.5km from the plant. The Afam F5.0A project will contribute further gas supplies to
continue the achievement of both those original objectives.
In addition, it will introduce a new crude oil stream which will be stabilized in Okoloma Gas Plant and
exported to Bonny Crude Terminal, taking up unused capacity in the existing condensate treatment
trains and pipeline infrastructure.
This Site Security plan addresses SLOT scope of work for the Construction And Hook-Up Of Afam F5
Wells 16 (WNQZ-2 WNQZ-3) & 17 (WLQU-2) Oil Flow line And Gas line for Afam F5 Reservoir
Development PROJECT.
a. Creating and sustaining employment Employing all casual labour from the host
community.
b. Sub-contract any aspects of the job that a competent hand from the community could handle.
d. Work within our capacity to respect the Customs and Traditions of the community.
e. Maintain a policy of Not meddling with the internal politics of the community.
