The federal government has launched its first licensing round for marginal oilfields in nearly 20 years, the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) said.
The new licensing round is the first marginal field round since 2002/ 2003.
The Ororo field, OML 95, and the Dawes Island Marginal Oil Field, formerly called OML 54, were among 11 licences revoked by the Department of Petroleum Resources in April.
All 11 were set to be included in the marginal field licensing round.
Two different judges in Lagos granted decisions on May 27 that halt the inclusion of the two fields in any licensing round, the court documents seen by Reuters showed.
