Consilium for extremely long and late hours, and to the experts who provided peer review of the report. This report is the first comprehensive study of the theft of refined oil products around the globe. It provides insight into the modalities and trends in oil theft, the culprits responsible, the stakeholders affected by illicit activities, and recommendations that could change the dynamics. It is divided into three parts. Executive Summary .....................................................................................................................Page i Part I: Culprits, Modalities, and Amounts .......................................................................... Page 3 Part I focuses on refined oil theft in ten case studies: Mexico, Nigeria, Ghana, Morocco, Uganda, Mozambique, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and the European Union (including the United Kingdom). Together, these cases illustrate the nature and scale of illicit activities that take place on a global basis. Part II: Trends in Illicit Hydrocarbons Activity ..............................................................Page 79 Part II analyzes the myriad methods of stealing refined oil products and considers a taxonomy to group them by trends. Not every form of theft is indicative of a trend and not all the groupings are discrete, but this undertaking frames the activity of refined oil theft in a way that enables some of the dynamics that underpin it to be better understood. Part III: Stakeholders and Recommendations .............................................................Page 93 Part III concentrates on who has the power to change the status quo and how they might go about doing so. By identifying the stakeholders who have an interest in refined oil theft, we are able to see who might alter the dynamics of downstream illicit activity. This part also reviews some of the recommendations others have made in the past, and offers a series of recommendations for how to address some of the exigent issues presented in Parts I and II of the report.

The complicities of the military and the multinational oil companies in the crime have equally been well articulated. This paper addresses the relationship that exist between the corridors of oil theft and the collateral damages attendant on the scourge of oil theft since same acquired an industrial and international status in the delta. It reviews the various ways the theft has manifested and employs the doctrinal research methodology. It critically examined the findings of the Chatham House and the Ribadu’s Committee and keys more particularly into the prescriptions advanced by the Guardian to the effect that instead of ‘blowing up things’ through the military, the state ought to find ways of structuring illegal refineries in the creeks into efficient production units underlined by quality control.

  • Nigeria Oil Theft: the Crude Cost
    Nigeria oil theft: The crude cost January 31, 2014 Summary Authors/Presenters Nigeria’s oil industry has an ongoing battle with fraudulent behaviour and corruption, which in turn is substantially damaging the company’s economy. BLP explores the pressures facing the country and asks what part, if any, Segun Osuntokun can the English judicial system play in all this when there Partner In Charge could be as much as 350,000 barrels at stake each day. London [email protected] There is pervasive fraud and corruption in Nigeria’s oil industry enabling theft that is causing Nigeria’s economy substantial damage. The English courts could help to trace the money and track the thieves. No one knows how much crude oil theft is really costing the country; those involved are able to hide much of their actions and proceeds. But the theft is so serious, pervasive and sophisticated that it is causing grave damage to Nigeria’s economy. Nigeria’s finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said in November 2013 that the country could fall USD 12 billion short of its 2013 budget estimate as a result of the theft. It is estimated that between 100,000 to 350,000 barrels per day, out of Nigeria’s daily production of approximately two million barrels, are being stolen. Tricks of the trade Oil theft in Nigeria occurs at every stage of the transportation process from the drilling site to export terminals. At its lowest and most unsophisticated level, local groups tap into Page 1 of 8 pipelines and wellheads by inserting siphons.

  • The End to Fuel Scarcity in Nigeria Is Not in Sight the Way Forward
    Journal of Social Sciences and Public Policy, Volume 10, Number 2, 2018. THE END TO FUEL SCARCITY IN NIGERIA IS NOT IN SIGHT THE WAY FORWARD Hanafi Dele Ibrahim, Akintunde Patrick Adeniran & Lasabi Moses Department Of Economics, Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Department of Banking and Finance, Oduduwa University, Ipetumodu, Ile-Ife,Osun State, Nigeria Email: [email protected] Abstract: The focus of this paper is to critically look at the causes of fuel scarcity in Nigeria with a view to addressing them. Most of the fundamental causes of fuel scarcity in the country including the following: present refineries are not adequately enough to meet the local demand for fuel. The local production of fuel is not sufficient for local consumption, excessive government intervention in the business of oil, problem of crude oil theft in Nigeria, frequent crude oil pipe lines vandalization, lack of modular refinery, and lack of private interest in the business of oil in Nigeria. Series of boardroom politics in the management of oil business in Nigeria. High level of corruption in the NNPC, turnaround maintenance that did not improve the level of production of oil, diversion of fuel into the neighbouring West Africa Countries, Oil subsidy claims that did not translate to high level of fuel importation into the country, fluctuation in the world market price, OPEC decision that may not favor crude oil production is another factor, Using of wrong template to determine the price of PMS is also another serious factor. In view of these aforementioned problems, suggestions are thereby recommended. All the refineries should be privatized, total deregulation of downstream sector of oil and gas should be put in place, more refineries should be built, alternative sources to PMS should be introduced, licenses should be given to expertise who are ready to build refineries in Nigeria, NNPC account should be audited on daily basis, oil subsidy for genuine oil marketers, outstanding balances for oil marketers should be considered for payment with immediate effect.
