Verified concession lineage

Original source labels preserved

OPL 246 was subsequently converted to OML 130. 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).

Evidence currently represented by identifier: OML 130 — 0 flare observations, 12 spill records; OPL 246 — 168 flare observations, 0 spill records.

OPL 246 / OML 130 record summary

This authority page combines evidence matching the verified identifiers OML 130 and OPL 246 without rewriting the label supplied by either source. It contains 168 monthly gas flare observations from March 2012 through May 2026. The oil spill source contains 12 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.

Source interpretation

The underlying records retain their original identifiers: OML 130, OPL 246. Documentary lineage merges evidence for discovery and analysis; it does not silently rename historical observations.

Operator field in matched geography: Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd.

Terrain: Deep Water.

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.
