3 Petroleum Industry in Nigeria Nigeria ranks among the top 10 nations in proved oil and natural gas reserves worldwide. The largest oil producer in Africa; 7 th in OPEC; but fifth largest economy in OPEC. As of January 1, 2010, the estimated crude oil and natural gas reserves are 37.2 billion barrels and trillion cubic feet (TCF). The target to expand its proven oil reserves to 40.0 billion barrels and increase its production capacity to 4 million barrels per day by 2010 is impracticable with less than three months to go. 3

4 Reform Legislation in Nigeria Describes the legislative, tax, contractual and fiscal elements under which petroleum operations are conducted in a petroleum province, region on nation. Defines the relationship between federal government of Nigeria and the oil and gas companies (IOC, NOC, & DOC). Explains how costs are to be recovered and profits are to be shared between firms, the host governments, and the host communities 4

5 Broad Objectives of the Reform Provides petroleum industry operational strategies and guidelines. Proffers solutions to petroleum fiscal problems and community issues affecting oil and gas operations in the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the Nigerian petroleum economy. Aligns the oil and gas industry in Nigeria with international best practices in order to facilitate good governance and transparency in the industry. Assigns separate functional responsibilities to institutional structures in order to manage the commercial and operational aspects of the oil and gas sector as well as the policy making and regulatory aspects effectively. 5

6 Broad Objectives of the Ongoing Reform Revamps the petroleum revenue system in terms of revenue collection, revenue enhancement, and wealth creation and restructures the taxation system for the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Repositions the national oil company to a level comparable to the status of other prominent national oil corporations (NOCs) Defines a new joint venture structure to address the funding problems of industry projects with a new indsutry structure termed incorporated joint ventures (IJV). 6

25 Conclusions Ongoing petroleum industry reform legislation in Nigeria has fiscal instruments and terms that enhance government access to gross revenue and still makes E&P operations profitable in Nigeria. There is a fifty percent likelihood that the legislation will give percent of total profit from a 100 MMB deepwater oil project to the host government. Justification for this high government take is being tied to high hydrocarbon prospectivity in Nigeria, but undue fiscal burdens may also disenfranchise investors as evident in the sensitivity of IRR to selected decision variables. If contractors spend low proportion of its expenditures abroad, project profitability, ceteris paribus, tend to increase Allowing all CAPEX to be expensed in NHT and CITA calculations increases project profitability as expected. Deep water profitability is higher for existing operators in deepwater than new comers because CITA and NHT are allowed to be consolidated rather than being ringfenced. 25
