San Leon, the independent oil and gas production, development and exploration company focused on Nigeria, announces that it is investing US$15 million in Energy Link Infrastructure (Malta) Limited ("ELI"), the company which owns the Alternative Crude Oil Evacuation System ("ACOES") project. As previously announced, the ACOES is being constructed to provide a dedicated oil export route from the OML 18 asset, comprising a new pipeline from OML 18 and a floating storage and offloading vessel ("FSO"). Once commissioned, the system is expected by Eroton to reduce the downtime and allocated pipeline losses currently associated with the Nembe Creek Trunk Line ("NCTL"), to below 10%. In addition, it is anticipated that the FSO project will improve overall well uptime.
