OML 53 covers an area of approximately 1,585 sq.km and is located onshore in the north eastern NigerDelta. The Jisike oil field, located in the northwestern area of the block, is currently the only producing field on OML 53. Jisike came on-stream in 1978, and peaked at over 10,000 bpd in 1991. Existing infrastructure at Jisike comprises flow-lines, phase one separation facilities and a flow station with a design capacity of 12,000 bopd and 8 MMscfd. Oil production is sent for further processing at the nearby Izombe facilities on OML 124 from where it is exported via pipeline to the Brass oil terminal. The block also contains the large undeveloped Ohaji South gas and condensate field, the development of which will be coordinated with the SPDC-operated Assa North field on adjacent OML 21.
