  • An Analysis of How Political Governance of Liquid Fuels Contributes to Energy Security in Papua New Guinea
    AN ANALYSIS OF HOW POLITICAL GOVERNANCE OF LIQUID FUELS CONTRIBUTES TO ENERGY SECURITY IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA BY FRANCIS HUALUPMOMI A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in the fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy Victoria University of Wellington (July 2019) Abstract This study examines how political governance of liquid fuels at the institutional level contributes to energy security in Papua New Guinea (PNG) from a political economic perspective. An interpretive methodology and critical case analysis design were used to analyse LNG energy governance regime (policies, legislation, and institutions) and its relationship with energy security. The research design involved analysis of participants’ observations and documents in relation to the critical cases (instances) in the practice of the energy regime under the Somare and O’Neill governments between 2002 and 2017. By using the characteristics of the Quality Energy Governance Framework (QEGF) which emerged from the analysis of the literature on energy governance and energy security, this study shared a new policy insight that energy security is actually created through the interactions that occur between political actors and the institutions and processes of energy governance. The study found that energy governance is a system of interacting institutions, policies and legislation created by the political institutions for the purpose of achieving economic efficiency in order to produce public value. The effective functioning of this system depends on the quality of the political institutions. A strong political institution constructs a quality policy regime which, in turn, translates into operational and adaptive qualities of an energy regime that enhances energy security.

  • OIL SEARCH LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2004 Oil Search Limited ARBN 055 079 868 Oil Search Limited Annual Report 2004
    FOUR INITIATIVES THAT ARE DELIVERING VALUE FOR OIL SEARCH OIL SEARCH LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2004 Oil Search Limited ARBN 055 079 868 Oil Search Limited Annual Report 2004 ONE OBJECTIVE TO PROVIDE LONG TERM TOP QUARTILE RETURNS TO SHAREHOLDERS Oil Search’s objective is to generate top quartile returns to shareholders. Four initiatives, outlined in this report, are helping to achieve this objective. Oil Search believes that it must ensure that its core PNG business is sustainable long term and operates safely and efficiently in accordance with global oil and gas industry best practice. Gaining control of our core business, through the assumption of operatorship of the oil fields, has enabled the Company to re-focus on building the PNG oil and gas business, by increased investment in exploration, appraisal and development activity. In addition, efforts to reduce costs and to continuously improve operational performance have had, and will continue to have, a positive impact on profitability. The Company’s results in 2004 demonstrate the success of this investment and operating strategy. Delivering sustainable top quartile returns cannot be achieved without recognition that our staff, host governments and the local community are a vital component in the Company’s success. As such, maintaining world class safety and environmental standards, conducting effective government relations and dealing with our local communities in an honest and open manner are core values for Oil Search. Opposite: Plaque at the entrance to Oil Search’s head office in Port Moresby, PNG 1 2 Oil Search Limited Annual Report 2004 INITIATIVE NO. 1 MAXIMISING THE VALUE OF OUR PNG ASSETS Oil Search has been the operator of all PNG’s producing oil and gas fields since October 2003, when it took over the oil field operating role from ChevronTexaco.

  • Energy Sector Assessment
    CAPE PNG, Linked Document 6 ENERGY SECTOR ASSESSMENT A. Sector Context 1. Electricity sector in Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a vast country with a population of 7.4 million people, of which only about 12.5% are estimated to live in urban areas.1 It is principally the urban areas that have access to grid connected electricity, and it is estimated that less than 10% of the total population has electricity access. Electricity access in rural areas is estimated to be under 3.7%.2 The mining industry, which is one of the main drivers of PNG’s economy, largely depends on captive power stations for their operations. 2. Lack of funding for upgrading and rehabilitation and even for routine maintenance is leading to a further deterioration in services, while the anticipated rise in demand due to economic growth and an increasing population will further stress the system if large-scale investments are not made to develop the electricity system. Supplying reliable and affordable electricity and expanding access to electricity to a larger proportion of the urban and rural populations is thus essential to make a positive impact on the socioeconomic well-being of PNG’s citizens and on the economic development of the country. 3. Electricity generation capacity and major power systems. Electricity generation capacity in PNG is about 250 megawatts (MW). Hydropower accounts for about half of the electricity generated and diesel for a third, with the rest generated from gas and geothermal energy plants, which are principally used in the mines (footnote 2).

  • Papua New Guinea Additional Power and Electricity Information
    Papua New Guinea Additional Power and Electricity Information Source: Compiled by VisionRI from information in the National & Provincial Ten Year Power Development Plan (2007-16), PNG Power Limited, 2006, and revised based on ongoing discussions with ED-DPE, 2007-08. Distribution PPL supplies power to Port Moresby and 26 other urban centers through 19 independent power systems. Its present generating capacity is 153 MW (80 MW in Port Moresby) for total energy sales of 742 GWh (316 GWh in Port Moresby). PPL, formerly the Electricity Commission, used to be the sole generator, transmitter and distributor of electricity in the country. In 1999, an independent power producer, Hanjung Power Ltd, negotiated the production and sale of power to the grid within a 15-year build-operate-transfer (BOT) arrangement. However, the present electricity tariff of about $0.15 per kilowatt hour (kWh) is hardly sufficient to cover the cost of the diesel oil needed to produce power in Port Moresby. In rural areas the cost of diesel alone can be three times the tariff, or more. Since 2003, PPL has been earmarked for privatization and a new private commercial operator, PNG Sustainable Energy Ltd (SEL), is beginning to enter the sector. Sector Issues Lack of reliable quality power supply to the main urban areas may limit economic growth. Investments are required in power generation and the transmission and distribution grids for the Port Moresby and Ramu grids. Town electrification - Poor-quality power supply in provincial centers and lack of generation to meet growing demand is limiting economic growth in provincial urban centers not connected to the main grids.

Energy transport infrastructure – which allows energy to be obtained from a variety of sources in a variety of forms – is increasingly recognised as vital to ensuring the security of energy supply and competition among energy suppliers. Reform of gas and electricity markets continues to be pursued as a means of enhancing productive efficiency and reducing energy prices to consumers. Energy efficiency measures are being promoted as a cost-effective and environmentally beneficial adjunct to supply-side options for providing energy services. As always, providing adequate supplies of oil, gas and electricity in an environmentally responsible manner and at reasonable cost is essential to sustainable economic growth in the region. Recognising the importance of information exchange on recent energy trends, the APEC Expert Group on Energy Data and Analysis (EGEDA) and the APEC Energy Working Group (EWG) endorsed the production of an annual APEC Energy Overview at their meetings in early 2000.
