Nigeria has an abundance of excellent gas resources…

182 TCF of proven natural
gas reserves;

• 7th largest natural gas
reserve holder in the world;

…its reserve base position has come about despite the lack of
a concerted effort in exploring for, developing and utilising its
p g , p g g
gas resources…
• All gas discoveries have been made in the

process of exploring for oil;

• Nigeria is globally the No. 1 gas flarer :
– 40% of Nigeria’s annual production is flared;
40% f Ni i ’ l d ti i fl d
– The country accounts for 12.5% of the gas flared
in the world (Source: World Bank).
• The current legal and fiscal framework for the
g
petroleum industry is geared towards oil
production and utilisation with very little
production and utilisation with very little
focus on gas

… gas development, utilisation and infrastructure have thus
far been developed in a haphazard manner and with a very
p p y
heavy focus on export projects…
• LNG
– Nigeria LNG has grown significantly since the completion of its 1st
phase in 1999
h
• NLNG now on its 6th train (total annual capacity of 22 MTPA) with a
proposed 7th train under discussion;
– Other greenfield LNG projects –Olokola LNG and Brass LNG are at
different stages of development
• Other Gas utilisation projects
Oth G tili ti j t
– Chevron’s EGTL, WAGP, TSGP (proposed), NGL & NGL II, Oso
Condensate
• Gas pipeline infrastructure has been mainly point to point to
serve these projects

…the focus on export projects has however been detrimental

to the development of domestic gas utilisation…

• A demand boom is expected in domestic

utilisation with projected annual growth rate
of 15‐18%;
– Significant growth is projected especially in the
Significant growth is projected especially in the
power sector, which is currently operating below
capacity
– There is however a gap between projected

demand and supply, with supply being affected

significantly by the lack of an interconnected grid
system and other requisite infrastructure.

…the new paradigm requires a concerted planning effort as
well as investment in infrastructure ‐ this has led to the
Nigeria Gas Master Plan…

… the NGMP provides a useful foundation, however certain
questions remain unanswered…
ti i d
• Who will provide the required infrastructure?
– NGMP suggests a private sector led approach
• Infrastructure
Infrastructure security; stability of legal regime; adequate incentives;
security; stability of legal regime; adequate incentives;
government guarantees
• Would domestic market obligation amount to expropriation?
– DMO may be sold at less than export price
• How does the NGMP affect the flare‐down target?
• When would the appropriate legal framework be put in place?
