If the contract continues in the form it has been operating to date the 412s will work out of Warri and the 407s out of Escravos. However I hear Chevron may close the Warri base and centralise.

They haven't worked out of Warri for a few years now. All based out of Escravos.

The first 3 Bell 407GXP units have arrived in Nigeria early January 2018.

Also the first of 4 Bell 412EP's has been accepted from Arrow Aviation in Broussard, Louisiana on 26 January 2018.

This 412EP, 5N-BVM, probably a pre-owned example, was equipped with pop-up floats and a BLR fastfin.
