Verified concession lineage

Original source labels preserved

OPL 212 was subsequently converted to OML 118. SpillFlare groups matching evidence under this documented relationship while retaining the identifier used by every underlying record.

Evidence: NEITI: NEITI 2021 Oil and Gas Industry Report (Table 14 — Producing PSC Blocks, page 42); NUPRC: Nigerian Upstream Concession Situation Report — 1 June 2025 (OML 118 row; predecessor block field records OPL 212).

Evidence currently represented by identifier: OML 118 — 0 flare observations, 3 spill records; OPL 212 — 133 flare observations, 0 spill records.

OPL 212 / OML 118 record summary

This authority page combines evidence matching the verified identifiers OML 118 and OPL 212 without rewriting the label supplied by either source. It contains 133 monthly gas flare observations from March 2012 through May 2026. The oil spill source contains 3 records explicitly mentioning one of these verified identities.

Connected state records: Lagos. A state connection can come from an explicitly matched spill or the supplied block coordinate and does not define the block's complete legal boundary.

Relationship rules: spill links require an explicit block-name match in source text; cluster links use polygon containment when a matched polygon exists, otherwise they are clearly labelled as coordinate proximity. Neither establishes legal responsibility or ownership.
