In terms of *yet* to find oil, the most recent assessment indicate that the estimated undiscovered oil in the region is 70 bn, most of which is likely to be found offshore (shallow and deepwater) in the Niger Delta basin.

It means "at this point in time, the oil hasn't been discovered", but that concept is taken care of by the words "is likely to be found". The sentence is awkward, just delete "In terms of yet to find oil".

Read it as "Yet to find" oil. That means, the oil is not found so far, but there's a potential of finding it.
