Key Findings
a) Objectives and Guiding Principles Well Articulated to Support
and Sustain the growth of the Sector and Nigerian Economy
b) Sections of the Text Not Consistent With The Underlying
Principles Of The PIB 2012(Powers & functions of the
Minister, structure, powers, functions and management of
the Institutions, the licences, pricing and the fiscals).
c) Powers and Functions of the Minister & Regulatory
Institutions are not clarified and conflicting
d) Appointment of Board Members and Management Team of
Institutions Subjective.
e) No clauses to ensure Efficiency & Abate Delays

Key Findings
f) Except for the Frontier Service,3Nos Institutions Created:
 Regulatory
 Funds Administration and
 Management and Commercial Companies.
g) Petroleum Host Community Fund is Undeveloped
h) Too Many and Idle Licenses (GAS)
i) The Gas Master Plan (GMP) Poorly Articulated

v. Appoint the Chief Executive Officers and Management Staff
one term of 6 years only.
vi. Hire, discipline and fire the management
team, including the CEO, with at least 75% vote of members.

3. In light of the role of the Recommended Role of the Minister
the Petroleum Technical Bureau be deleted entirely from the
PIB.
4. The Frontier service is not consistence with deregulation and
private sector led development of the petroleum sector as
envisaged by the PIB so should not be considered in the Bill.
5. The Petroleum Host Community Fund is to provide
content for the effective utilization of the resources that will
be made available to the fund.
6. There should be Streamlining of Licenses and optimisation of
the development of the downstream sector:

Key Recommendations
I. The guidelines, terms, conditions and requirements for
Licenses shall be established by the Minister.
ii.The Agency and the Inspectorate shall be the bodies to
grant, award and revoke licenses following the directives
established by the Minister
iii.The Petroleum Mining License should give a person a right
to sell the gas and develop the market, so a gas producer
shall invest and do business along the gas value market
chain.
iv.The following Licenses may be allowed
o Transportation Pipeline Owner Licence
o Gas Supply Licence

7. The Gas Master Plan (GMP) shall be a 20 year plan
with 5 years mid-term strategic plans drawn from it to give
effect to articulating and actualization of the domestic gas
obligation regime.
8. The Aggregator is deleted to allow the operators to fix
prices within the context of the benchmarks and the
domestic gas obligations of the various gas producers to
promote investment, increase access to gas for consumers
and promote the growth of the gas sector.
9. The fiscal regime for gas improved to ensure that investors
can provide financing to prospect for gas and also develop
the domestic gas market and ultimately grow the economy
and increase government review revenue plus attendant job
creation.

10.Improve the fiscals and policy for Frontier Acreages to
accelerate petroleum exploration and production in the
Hinterland of Nigeria.
11.Restrict the power of the President to grant a licence or
lease under this Act only on the grounds of overriding
national interest Subject to Senate Approval
12.A higher degree of certainty should be introduced in the PIB
for the fiscal regime for Royalties, Rents and Fees by stating
in very clear terms the applicable volume, value and
monetary thresholds and limits.
13.The sections on institutions be streamlined to reduce the
volume of the PIB by eliminating undue repetition of sections
common to all institutions in the PIB.

Overview of Nigeria Gas Sector
• Gas reserves:183.5 Tct (600tcf potential)
• Produces:8.0 bcf/d (Export: 3.05 bcf/d) Reinj:2.9bcf/d
• Demand : 4 bcf/day (2013) .Flares 0.75bcf/d (AG)
• 2.7bcf/d Power Demand (DGSO: 1.3bcf/d)
• Domestic and Regional Market Undeveloped.
• Govt. fix prices & Control Market /DGSO
• Production(2016): 8.24 bcf/d: DGSO (3 Bcf/d).
• <$1-$2 per mcf till June 2014
• $2.5/mcf + ç80 for transport (June 2014)

OIL vs. GAS REVENUE STREAM PROJECTION
PARAMETERS OIL GAS
Reserves 36 billion barrels 180.5 trillion cubic feet
Postulated Reserves (in
2020)*

OVERVIEW: AVAILABLE DOMESTIC MARKET FOR GAS

COMPARISON OF NIGERIAN AND GLOBAL FISCAL TERMS - GAS
Nigeria capped gas prices and has the lowest gas price <$ 1/mcf
$1/mcf was implemented in June 2012 .
Nigeria’s Gas Master Plan expects a transition in gas prices, starting with an
increase in the minimum gas price to US$1/mcf by 2012. Suppliers have
reported payment recovery difficulties at above rate.

 Lack of Effective Legal and Fiscal Regime
 Fiscal and Legal Framework-Unclear.
 Low Investment in The Gas Sector
 Huge Loss of Revenue.
Inefficiency, Subsidies and Price Capping.
 Lack of Effective Institutions and Programmes
 Low Exploration Activities
 Dearth of Pipeline and Transportation Architecture
 Inadequate Gas Processing and Storage Facilities
 GMP & PIB Deficient in two respects:
I. Disincentive: Low Private Sector Investment in
Infrastructure & Market Delivery Systems
II. Gas :Foreign Markets, Domestic Market Undersupplied.
ISSUES & CHALLENGES IN THE GAS SECTOR

 Stunted Economy Growth –Industry, Agric, etc
 Continuous Gas Flaring
 Gas-fertilizer, power, cooking fuels.
 Power consumption per capita <40 watts
<15% of the world average.
 Nig. farmers use, on average, 10 kg of fertilizer
per ha. ( 5% of the recommended usage).
 80,000 die each year from indoor air pollution.
 Loss of Biodiversity & huge contribution to green
house gas emissions, global warming, and
climate change.
