THE DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES (DPR)

• The Present day DPR, has evolved over the years.
  Its regulatory and supervisory role in the
  Petroleum Industry has been performed as far back
  as the early fifties with the objectivity of
  ensuring that National goals and aspirations are
  not thwarted and that oil companies operate in
  accordance with International Oil Industry
  Standards Practises
• 1100 Employees (Engineers, Geoscientists,
  Environmental Scientists, IT, Economists,
  Accountants and Administrators)
• 18 offices across the country

4
FUNCTIONS OF DPR

  order to ensure compliance with regulations and
  in line with good oil field practise.
• Enforcing safety and environmental regulations
  and ensuring that those operations conform to
  national and international industry standards
• Keeping and updating records on Petroleum
  industry operations, particularly on matters
  relating to petroleum reserves, production and
  exports of crude oil, gas and condensate.
• Advising Government and relevant Agencies on
  technical matters and policies which may have
  impact on the administration and control of
  petroleum.
• Processing all applications for licenses so as to
  ensure compliance with guidelines

LEGISLATION -Data Reporting

• Section 54 of the Petroleum(Drilling and

HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN NDR

• Arising from the legislative provisions of
  Petroleum (Drilling Production) Regulation
  1969, the concept for the Nigerian NDR was
  conceived to enable the Government gain control
  over the increasing quantum of EP data
• Open tender for the establishment of the NDR
  floated in Aug. 2000
• 20 Companies responded, 3 were pre-qualified
• Industry consensus was cultivated through a Data
  management workshop held with technical support
  from Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) in
  2001
• Workshop was a rewarding exercise as the
  foundation for the Nigerian NDR was established
• NDR project to be jointly funded by the
  Government and Industry
• Two Industry committees which shall be
  responsible for the establishment of the project
  were set-up
• In Nov 2002, further investigations of the NDR
  technologies proposed including similar
  implementations of NDR around the world was
  carried out by an Industry study group.

HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN NDR

• The findings of the group set-out the road map
  for the Nigerian NDR
• Data Preparation
• Communications
• Business Model
• Legislative provision for public release of data
  
• Landmark/IDSL Consortium awarded contract to
  establish and operate a National Data Repository
  and the associated Communications Infrastructure
  in June 2003.
• Contract agreement executed in December 2003. The
  contract period is for a five year period from
  Dec. 2003 Dec. 2007.

OBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN NDRGovernments
Perspective

• Preserve, maintain the integrity and promote the
  National EP data assets with improved quality,
  efficiency and accessibility in the most rapid,
  secure and reliable manner
• Improve the management of National Exploration
  and Production activities so as to Optimise the
  National Hydrocarbon potential
• Provide source of digital data required to give
  Nigeria a competitive advantage in attracting new
  investors in the Oil Gas sector, through
  licensing rounds.
• Strengthen Government Agencies, DPR and NAPIMS
  in performing their monitoring and supervisory
  roles in the Industry
• Provide the basis for public data release
  practise

10
OBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN NDROil Company
Perspective

• Improved regulatory reporting process
• Source of readily accessible data of known
  quality
• Promote sharing of data amongst stakeholders and
  their partners in the most rapid, reliable and
  secure manner
• Reduced lifecycle costs of data management
  practises

INSTITUTIONAL CO-OPERATION WITH NPD

• Co-operation between DPR and NPD dates back to
  late 90s and has progressed steadily
• NPD shared their experience of running a
  successful NDR with an Industry forum in
  Nigeria, in August 2001. These efforts led to the
  establishment of an effective governance
  structure for the NDR project which include the
  participation of major stakeholders in the
  Industry
• In April 2002, the DPR was enlightened on the
  best practices for cultural data collection and
  setting-up of enabling policies for the release
  of public data at a workshop organised with
  technical support from NPD

20
INSTITUTIONAL CO-OPERATION WITH NPD Contd.

• The DPR and NPD formally entered into an
  institutional co-operation agreement in 2004 to
  establish a base for the further transfer of
  knowledge and experience in Data Management,
  Resource management and amongst others. The
  co-operation is being funded by NORAD.
• More technical assistance has been received from
  NPD in the area of data modeling and
  establishment of Cultural(Administrative)
  Database.
• On-going efforts towards the development of a
  draft legislative framework for the public
  release of data .

Lessons Learned

• Data
• Locating historic data is a great challenge
• Adopt a phased approach for loading data
• Set realistic target dates for loading of data
• Quality control is important else users will not
  have confidence in the data set
• Management and Organisation
• Regulatory Agency must play a leadership role and
  demonstrate total commitment to the project
• Stakeholders must be fully engaged in the project
• Data bank should be managed by the professionals
