- 1.0 Background
- Nigerian Gas Industry
- 2.0 Current Realities / Challenges
- Funding and Infrastructural Issues
- Government Intervention
- 3.0 Practical Way Forward
- A suggested revised path
- 4.0 Role of private enterprise such as Oando
3Background
- Nigeria, has the worlds 7th largest proven
reserves of gas with 182 TCF already discovered - The gas is rich in natural gas liquids and have
little or no sulphur - Over the years, there has been a steady growth in
reserves with recent discoveries coming from the
deepwater basin - To date, all gas discoveries in Nigeria have been
incidental resulting from the search for oil - There is a significant potential for reserves
growth with focused gas exploration - The reserve potential has been put at up to
600TCF which will make Nigeria the 4th largest
gas reservoir after Russia, Iran and Qatar - Nigeria currently flares 35 - 39 of total gas
exports - Put another way, the gas flared in Nigeria is
sufficient to generate 15GW of electricity this
in a country with 6GW of installed and only 3GW
of available power generation.
4Nigerias Gas Sector is predominantly
government-controlled
- Government is the dominant gas resource owner but
has limited operatorship - Most of the production is by Major Oil Companies
which although are about 60 owned by NNPC are
commercially driven - The export market is growing
- With train 6 now operational, NLNGs capacity has
reached 22MTPA - Other LNG plants (Olokola and Brass) are under
evaluation - The West African Gas Pipeline Project is
continuing apace and there is evidence of
increasing demand - The domestic demand is also growing
- The power sector reform and the attendant
government funded Gas Power Plant developments of
over 10GW is driving domestic demand - Oil prices are driving up the cost of alternative
fuels and industries are turning to gas where
available
5The government-led investment in domestic gas
infrastructure is no longer adequate
- The Escravos to Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS),
completed in the nineties is the main
transmission pipeline system dedicated to
domestic consumption in the country - This pipeline system is the only source of supply
to the industrial and utility sectors of the
domestic market - ELPS also serves as the source of gas supply for
the West African Gas Pipeline System - As with many other oil and gas facilities,
repeated sabotage of this and feeder systems has
led to frequent supply disruptions of recent - The other major downstream pipeline systems are
dedicated to single projects leading to sub
optimal pipeline configurations - These pipelines are mainly to export oriented
projects and cover areas already served by other
single project pipelines.
6The private sector will feel the brunt of any
long term gas unavailability
- The dearth of investment in major domestic
pipeline infrastructure has lead to a short fall
in the pipeline capacities required to sustain
the growing economy - In addition, there is no pipeline connection
between the gas supply fields of the East and the
growing markets of the West and North. - This has led to led to a shortage of gas
availability for the newly commissioned power
plants in the Western parts of the country - Significant and Urgent pipeline Infrastructure
has now become imperative if the country is to
benefit from the gas resource
7Power heavy (cheap) mix in domestic gas market
limits the ability to recover capital leading to
limited private investment

This might explain the current inadequacy in gas
infrastructure

consumption which has the maximum net benefit

9and also sub-optimizing potential for local job
creation
EMPLOYMENT CREATION vs. CAPITAL COST (Bubble size

- LNG is a growing and robust international market
- BUT it costs 20million / job created (compared
with. 10-20,000 / job in plastics processing or
construction)

10The government policy has now approved policy
instruments that seeks to
- Exploit the Nigerian gas reserve potential for
accelerated economic development - In support of the 10 GDP growth aspiration
- Concurrent focus on domestic and export market
- Develop an integrated infrastructure strategy
that will support domestic, regional and export
(LNG) markets - The adoption of an infrastructure investment blue
print - Implement a gas pricing regime that favors local
value added projects (Methanol, Urea and Gas to
Liquids) - Ensure commerciality for all investments
- Set aggressive goals with buffers to offset
potential delays and possible problems - Encourage the private sector to drive the
developments
and recognises the need to incentivise viable
domestic gas companies to execute the
infrastructure investment required

16Oando Gas and Power a local gas company
- Oando has had an 8 year history of supplying gas
to industries in the Greater Lagos Area, the
success of which is demonstrated by the following
achievements - Phased completion of a 99 km distribution network
in Lagos - The development of a 124km gas supply pipeline to
the Cement Plant in Calabar - Plans include a city gate to supply gas to the
Calabar Industrial Area - 156m (NGN18.7bn) of investment mobilized by
Oando to construct pipeline infrastructure - The connection of over 90 industrial customers to
the gas network
Oando is gearing up to play a major role in the
development of the national gas grid
