  • Opportunities for Gas in Sub-Saharan Africa
    January 2019 OpportunitiesOpportunitiesOpportunities forfor GasGas for inin Gas in SubSubSub--SaharanSaharan-SubSaharan-Saharan AfricaAfrica Afric Africa Oppa 1. Introduction In his December 2017 paper entitled “Challenges to the Future of Gas: unburnable or unaffordable?”1, Jonathan Stern noted that “For the period up to 2030, the principal threats to the future of gas (outside North America) will be affordability and competitiveness. Beyond that date – and particularly beyond 2040 – carbon (and potentially also methane) emissions from gas will cause it to become progressively ‘unburnable’ if COP21 targets are to be met.” Stern noted further that in the period to 2030 and beyond, for gas to fulfil its potential role as a transition fuel, then it has to be delivered to high-income national markets below $8/MMbtu and to low-income markets below $6/MMbtu, and that “the major challenge to the future of gas will be to ensure that it does not become (and in many low-income countries remain) unaffordable and/or uncompetitive, long before its emissions make it unburnable”. In many low-income countries, especially in Asia, gas is often competing with coal in the power generation market, and to have any chance of competing, then gas has to be priced very competitively. There are examples, such as China, where a combination of policies related to improving air quality and mandated closure of some older plant have allowed the expansion of gas in the power, industry and heat sectors. In the UK, a high carbon support price has boosted gas-fired generation, aided by the closure of a large proportion of coal-fired capacity.

  • Future Prospects for LNG Demand in Ghana
    January 2018 Future Prospects for LNG Demand in Ghana Energy demand in Africa is forecast to grow quickly in the coming decades, with the IEA suggesting1 a CAGR of 2 per cent between 2016 and 2040, twice the global average. However, it remains to be seen which fuel in a post-COP21 world will be used to achieve this economic growth. As electricity storage is not yet available (and could be initially expensive), Africa could use more coal, oil and/or gas to generate electricity (nuclear is not an option any longer as it is too expensive). With key lending institutions moving away from investment in coal and oil, this leaves a theoretical gap in the market for gas, which would avoid the need to import expensive energy storage technology. This would also help upstream companies to monetise domestic gas resources where a Final Investment Decision, without domestic demand, could be (permanently) postponed as we have seen in Mozambique in the last few years. But issues of affordability and security are higher up on any national African political agenda than the problem of carbon reduction (although in large cities, air quality considerations could provide a significant opportunity for gas). The cost of gas and the credit worthiness of African clients2 are major issues for investors. These two concerns should be looked at jointly: even with very high electricity prices3, sub-Saharan Africa has never paid more than $8.7/MMBtu (at the wholesale price level) for its gas according to the International Gas Union 4 . Hence only imported gas priced below this maximum level can meet the African challenge.

  • Asymmetric Impacts of Oil Price on Inflation: an Empirical Study
    energies Article Asymmetric Impacts of Oil Price on Inflation: An Empirical Study of African OPEC Member Countries Umar Bala 1,2 and Lee Chin 2,* 1 Department of Economics, Faculty of Management and Social Sciences, Bauchi State University, P.M.B. 65 Gadau, Nigeria; [email protected] 2 Department of Economics, Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43400 UPM Serdang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +60-603-8946-7769 Received: 14 August 2018; Accepted: 26 October 2018; Published: 2 November 2018 Abstract: This study investigates the asymmetric impacts of oil price changes on inflation in Algeria, Angola, Libya, and Nigeria. Three different kinds of oil price data were applied in this study: the actual spot oil price of individual countries, the OPEC reference basket oil price, and an average of the Brent, WTI, and Dubai oil price. Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) dynamic panels were used to estimate the short- and long-term impacts. Also, we partitioned the oil price into positive and negative changes to capture asymmetric impacts and found that both the positive and negative oil price changes positively influenced inflation. However, the impact was found to be more significant when the oil prices dropped. We also found that the money supply, the exchange rate, and the gross domestic product (GDP) are positively related to inflation, while food production is negatively related to inflation. Accordingly, policy-makers should be cautious when formulating policies between the positive and negative changes in oil prices, as it was shown that inflation increased when the oil price dropped.

  • Nigeria Oil & External Exposure
    The Business and Management Review, Volume 7 Number 3 April 2016 Nigeria oil & external exposure: the crude gains and crude pains of crude export dependence economy Augustine A. Ikein Niger Delta University/Federal University of Nigeria, Bayelsa , Nigeria **The Author expresses his gratitude to University Tetfund agency and to Sen. Diffa, Fomode and my dear wife Lily Ikein for their initiative and support. I also thank my students and colleagues in academia and Bayelsa State of Nigeria Keywords Nigeria oil, crude pains, Export, economy, OPEC, Nigeria Abstract This paper attempts to demonstrate that strategic raw material export dependency and external exposure is simply a reflection and extension of the structure of dependence propounded by Theotonio Dos Santos, 1970. By dependence we mean a situation in which the economy of certain countries is conditioned by the development and expansion of another economy to which the former is subjected. The concept of dependence permits us to see the internal situation of these countries as part of world economy. The working of dependency has its own pragmatic equivalence in the world energy market. It is the process of constituting a world economy that integrates “the national economies” in a world market of commodities, exchange system where the market participants are unequal because development of parts of the system occurs at the expense of less powerful nations who are mostly raw material exporters. The OPEC Cartel was formed to break the power of dominant forces that controlled the oil market scene as a body of concert power to which Nigeria is a member. The Cartel power was periodically successful and enjoyed high oil revenues and oil also became a weapon of choice to influence world geo-politics.

  • COVID-19: Impact Analysis on the Oil and Gas Industry Olugbenga Falode
    COVID-19: Impact Analysis on the Oil and Gas Industry Olugbenga Falode COVID-19: Impact Analysis on the Oil and Gas Industry Olugbenga Falode Department of Petroleum Engineering University of Ibadan Email: [email protected] 1. Introduction 1.1 Background The Oil and Gas (O&G) industry has continued to be the mainstay of the Nigerian economy despite Government’s best efforts at diversification into Agriculture and Mining. According to a recent report, even though the sector is less than 10% of the country’s GDP, it contributes about 65%, of Government revenue and 88% of Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings (Ajayi (2019). Since the discovery of oil in commercial quantity by Shell-BP in Oloibiri in the present day Bayelsa State of Nigeria as far back as 1956, petroleum production and export has largely played a dominant role in Nigeria's economy. Nigeria is currently the largest oil producer in Africa and was the world's fourth-largest exporter of LNG in 2015. According to 2018 estimates, 79.4% of the world's proven oil reserves are located in OPEC Member Countries, with 36.97 billion barrels of that reserves in Nigeria, amounting to 3.1% of the OPEC total (BP, 2015, OPEC, 2019). The 2020 Appropriation Act envisages a crude oil production volume of 2.18 million barrels per day with a $57 benchmark per barrel. As at January 2020, the price of Brent Crude was approximately $70 per barrel, however with the recent turn of events globally, especially the emergence of the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and the resultant Saudi-Russia Oil Standoff, a chain-reaction of problems threatens the Nigerian Oil and Gas Sector (Ibebuike and Amadi 2020).

The company holds a 36.1 percent interest in the field or roughly 144,000 b/d of production. Neither BP, holder of the majority interest in the field , nor ExxonMobil, which also has an interest, have declared force majeure. BP has publicly announced that it does not intend to take such action. Reuters, 14:30 August 10, 2006 BP Pipeline Inspections Progressing – Examination Focusing on Bottom Sixth of Lines BP is progressing with its pipeline corrosion inspection at the Prudhoe Bay oilfield but is concentrating only on the bottom one sixth of the lines. BP said that all the evidence of corrosion was found along the bottom of the lines and they are confident that the focus of the investigation is correct. According to the Reuters story, no one from the Department of Transportation which is supervising the examination was available for comment.

    MUELLE HYDROCARBON STORAGEAND PROCESSING COMPLEX LATIÑOSA MANABI-JARAMIJO Detailed Description of the Project Background Exactly eleven years ago, and seeing, the needs that his country dra- gged into the oil derivative supply systems, emerged from the SR. DILMER PALACIOS ANDRADE the desire and more, than a simple desire, an urgent need to build two large works of progress or mega projects that will carry forward an industrialization and modernization of the systems of supplies of petroleum, fuels, derivatives and petro- chemicals, in the Latin American zone, with the main focus in Ecua- dor. The country has an important geographical position in South America. We are listed as the center of the world, but also, it has a province that is conducive to the construction of a dock, with its res- pective fuel storage center, and precisely because of its geographi- cal location we speak of MANABI-JARAMIJO. Currently, Latin America does not have a storage complex that res- ponds to the growing demand for oil, fuels and derivatives. There is no storage complex that meets the demand of both Latin America and the Caribbean area. The LATIÑOSA HYDROCARBONS AND PROCESSING STORAGE COM- PLEX is born, to solve the existing problem and as the only viable alternative for all of South America and the Caribbean. With the supply interrupted by PDVSA, the crisis worsened, increasing every day the shortage of all the countries that make up MERCOSUR. With the full operation of the Hydrocarbons Storage and Processing Complex, you will take an efficient respite in the supply, storage and distribution of hydrocarbons, which will meet all the expectations of a growing market, throughout the Latin American area and Carib- bean 1.
