Occupiers Depart Chevron Facility without Incident
-------------- --------------
1. (U) Chevron Texaco (CT) officials informed the Consulate
that the townspeople occupying the Robert-kiri facility in
Rivers State departed peacefully this morning at 11:35 a.m
(local). CT officials will meet with community leaders and
Rivers State government officials tomorrow in Port Harcourt
to discuss the possibility of entering a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) outlining the relationship between the
community and the oil company. CT is currently working to
restore oil production at the facility. (Note: The
flowstation normally produces 10,000 - 20,000 barrels per
day. End Note.)
Enhancing Facility Security Remains Challenging
-------------- ---
2. (C) CT officials told Consul General they will also
examine ways to enhance security at the Robert-kiri facility
to prevent future such incidents. They noted, however, that
this may be difficult, as the flow station is on a canal, and
has no static perimeter barriers.
Amcit Safe
--------------
3. (C) The lone amcit remains at the facility to participate
in the company's efforts to restore production.
Consul General to Travel to Port Harcourt
--------------
4. (SBU) Consul General will travel to Port Harcourt
tomorrow for separate talks with the Deputy Governor
(Governor Odili is out of the country) as well as with,
Port-Harcourt based officials from Chevron and several oil
service companies.
