“Eastline is categorically owed the sum of $774,789.00 (Seven Hundred And Seventy Four Thousand, Seven Hundred and Eighty Nine US Dollars only) for works carried out on behalf of Conoil & for which payment, even after repeated pleas, has still not been made.

We have suffered Immeasurably working for Conoil to the point where our equipment’s were seized by another contractor in order to force Conoil to pay them” the statement reads.

The company which has been a contractor of choice to Conoil thanks to its industry-leading skills sets and competence in the areas of surface well testing, brine filtration, well completion flow back, and early production services, among many others, emphasized that its inability to access high-quality equipment’s has resulted in significant financial losses.

According to the contractors, the board and senior management of Conoil Producing Limited have been involved in various unethical business practices to avoid paying contractors’ fees.
