Opportunities and Challenges of Divested Asset Management - NPDC Experience
Opportunities and Challenges of Divested Asset Management - NPDC Experience
Introduction
Conclusion
INTRODUCTION
The Oil and gas industry has been the mainstay of the Nigerian Economy since
the early 70s contributing over 80% of foreign earnings
The industry which started production in the late fifties was dominated by the
IOCs – SPDC, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Total, NAOC, etc.
From 2009, the industry witnessed sale of oil block by the Oil Majors (Shell, BG, Agip,
Total, Petrobras ,Chevron, ConocoPhillips)

Many Indigenous Oil Companies participated in the bidding process thereby emerging as
marginal field operators. Indigenous companies contributes less than 15% of the total oil
production as at 2010
In 2010 Nigerian Oil and Gas Content Development (NOGIC) Act was passed .
NPDCs involvement in some of the divested assets was brought about by NNPC
assignment of her equities to her wholly owned subsidiary

Opportunities in the Divested Assets
NPDC’s Experience
TRANSFORMATION OF NPDC TO AN OIL MAJOR
Post Divestment
Huge Hydrocarbon resources become available
NPDC is the 3rd largest oil company in Nigeria in terms of oil reserves and has the 4th
largest gas reserves in Nigeria
Countless opportunities for partnership and collaboration with other business entities
also became available as a result of the divestment
ABUNDANT FIELD DATA
Divested assets under NPDC operations consist majorly of matured Oil fields
Critical data for decision making are abundant and readily available
Seismic coverage of blocs is beyond 90%
Well documented geological and petrophysical information
Well logs
Reservoir models
Facility Asset Reference Manuals
EARLY CASH INFLOW
Exploration
5 – 10 years 1 – 5 years
Huge capital investment is required and there are uncertainties in the outcomes
Several non producing wells in the field can be brought into production with minimal
work:
Flowline construction
Wellhead and Xmas tree repairs
Swabbing
Gas lift optimisation
Revamp and installation of OML 26 and 30 Gas lift Compressor stations to increase
production from 2000bopd to 9000bopd and 15000 to 55000bopd respectively
Odidi /Jones creek re-entry projects were conceived in 2013 to re-establish oil and gas production
in OML 42
Oil production was re-established in Odidi & Jones Creek on October 2014 and September 2015
respectively.

NPDC’s Experience
NPDC’S ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE
Pipelines and facilities are easy targets for militant in the Bombed Pipeline on Fire
region
Gun boats are now prerequisites for Oil and gas operations
in the swamps of Niger delta
About 20- 25% of crude oil injected into the main trunk line
never gets to the Terminal
Circa. 17.5million barrels of crude oil has been deferred in Jones Creek Well 34 Fire –
only OML 42 alone from 2012 to date due to vandalism Millions of dollars was spent to
put off fire and kill the well

DEMANDS FROM THE HOST COMMUNITIES
Most host communities see oil companies as the “government” in their area
Basic amenities for good life are absent in most of the communities even after
a long period of oil exploitation
Production activities and project works are sometimes stopped due to unmet
demands resulting in production deferment
