History of Refining in Nigeria- Facts Sheet-1• GOING DOWN The MEMORY LANE- THE GOOD OLD DAYS
– Before 1965, all international petroleum marketing companies in Nigeria imported their stocks independently from their own refineries located abroad. As domestic demand grew for these products, and following the local availability of crude oil by pipeline, establishment of a refinery in Nigeria became commercially viable
– In 1960 two oil marketing companies in Nigeria , Shell and British Petroleum, BP, formed a 50/50 joint venture refining company in Nigeria , the Nigerian Petroleum Refining (NPRC) in. 1960.
Pioneering the Development of Nigeria’s small oil fields
Petroleum Refining (NPRC) in. 1960.
– The NPRC built a 38,000b/d petroleum refinery at Alesa-Eleme, near Port Harcourt to refine local crude oil into five petroleum fuel products. Construction of the refinery commenced in 1963 and production started two years later, in 1965
– In 1973 the refinery was de-bottlenecked, in order to increase its crude oil processing capacity from 38,000b/d to 60,000b/d. The domestic demand for petroleum products which steadily increased was satisfied by the NPRCrefinery for about 8 to 10 years

History of Refining in Nigeria- Facts Sheet 2
• In 1970, the Federal Government acting as a member of OPEC compulsorily acquired and paid for an equity share of 60 % in all private international companies working in the Upstream and Downstream sectors of the Petroleum Industry in the country.
•
The Federal Government invested these shares in its wholly owned corporation, the Nigerian National Oil Corporation, NNOC
• NPRC was one of such companies whose shares were compulsorily acquired by government. NPRC was allowed to continue to operate commercially and profitably, without any interference from government. The Federal Government participated only at the board, represented by NNOC, as the majority shareholder

only at the board, represented by NNOC, as the majority shareholder
• In 1977, a new Decree 77 was promulgated to establish the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC). Among the five divisions created in the new NNPC corporate headquarters was the Refinery Division, which was headed by a General Manager. This division was responsible for policy, projects implementation and coordination of all petroleum refining activities of the corporation. In particular, the General Manager Refinery Division was appointed Chairman, NPRC Board, following the federal government’s compulsory acquisition of the (60%) equity shareholding in the NPRC.

History of Refining in Nigeria Facts Sheet-3
• THE WARRI REFINERY (1975-1978)
• Following a tendering exercise involving international engineering contractors, a contract was awarded to Snamprogetti Spa of Milan , Italy .. The contract was for the design, procurement and construction of a new grassroots petroleum refinery in Warri. The design capacity of the refinery was 100,000 b/d, and the lump sum cost was $478 million, for project duration of 30 months. This project was completed in 1978. The refinery commenced operation immediately thereafter.
• THE KADUNA REFINERY (1976-1979)
• A second new refinery was planned for the production of lubricating oil products, waxes and asphalt (for road projects). This refinery which was located in Kaduna consisted of two refining streams, (50,000 b/d fuels units) and (50,000 b/d lubes, waxes Asphalt plants). The contract for the construction of the Kaduna Refinery was awarded in 1976 to Chiyoda Engineering and Construction Company of Japan, at
Pioneering the Development of Nigeria’s small oil fields
Kaduna Refinery was awarded in 1976 to Chiyoda Engineering and Construction Company of Japan, at the cost $525 million, for a project completion period of 36 months. The refinery was completed on schedule and was commissioned in late 1979. The existing products pipeline linking Warri Refinery to Kaduna was converted to pump crude oils for supply to the new Kaduna Refinery
• In 1978, the Federal Government through the NNPC had acquired the remaining 40 percent equity of NPRC from Shell and BP. The name of the NPRC was changed to NNPC Refinery, Alesa-Eleme, near Port Harcourt . A new position of Managing Director and a new management structure were established. The Chairman of the Board remained the General Manager Refineries Division of NNPC. While the refinery continued to produce and maintain its facilities as before.

History of Refining in Nigeria Facts Sheet-4(1980-1989)
• By 1980, with the old Port Harcourt , Warri and Kaduna refineries in operation, there was still an appreciable level of importation of petroleum products to augment domestic production from the three refineries. A review of the old study was conducted to update the demand and pattern of consumption to cover the next period of 10 years.
•
This was also to determine the optimum size and location for an export oriented refinery, which would also supply the domestic market as required. The several options considered included, new refineries and/or expansion of existing plants. The Federal Government decided to expand the capacities of the fuels units in the existing refineries at Warri and Kaduna by de-bottlenecking.
• The de-bottlenecking route was quicker but capacity increases were moderate. The de-bottlenecking projects were completed in 1985. The new capacities at Warri Refinery and Kaduna Refinery became 125,000b/d and 110,000b/d respectively.
Pioneering the Development of Nigeria’s small oil fields
125,000b/d and 110,000b/d respectively.
• In addition, a new grassroots refinery with a capacity of 150,000 b/d would be constructed adjacent to the existing refinery at Port Harcourt . The total additional refining capacity added from the result of the new study became 185, 000 b/d. This would bring the total refining capacity in Nigeria on completion of the projects in 1989 to 445,000b/d, which is still the current total installed refining capacity in Nigeria.
•
The new Port Harcourt refinery with a capacity of 150,000b/d was designed to include facilities to export products in excess of domestic demand. The contract for the design and construction was awarded to a consortium of JGC Corporation/Marubeni Corporation both of Japan and Spibatignolles of France in October 1985 at a total cost equivalent of US$850 million. The construction was completed and the refinery was successfully commissioned in October 1989

Regulatory Challenges• Licensing Regime
– Three Licensing layers (establish/ construct/operate)
– Expiration timelines for the licensing layers
• Establish-two years- company location
• Construct-1.5 years- Inadequacy based on
– Construction season constraints
– Contracting constraints
– Customs, logistics and others
• Applicable studies to accompany each licensing layer and their implications
– Human resource needs
• Energy studies- except you are a producer, where is your feedstock?

Financial Challenges
• Financing a new refinery in Nigeria- Myth, Fiction or share Mission Impossible?
• Financial challenges has little to do with availability of funds.
• More with a lack of deep understanding of the Nigerian Petroleum industry ( particularly the technical, commercial and economic requirements of new projects)
• Securitization of funds- collateral demands range from the absurd, to the ridiculous and often to the impossible!
Pioneering the Development of Nigeria’s small oil fields
• Loans are often short term with little breathing room (moratorium)
• Lending rates are excruciating
• Long term money unavailable
• Recourse being the following options:
– Internal funding from cash flow
– Joint venture where investors wan to be on the driving seat
NIGER DELTAEXPLORATION & PRODUCTION PLC
RC191616
Other Unspoken Challenges
• Feedstock guaranty ( Crude oil supply)
– Are you a producer?
– Will you have access to buy crude oil –from whom, NNPC, IOCs or Nigerian Independent Producers?
– Why will any of these sell or make commitment to sell?
• Planning
– Having the right set of professionals at the various stages of the project life namely:
• Feasibility- developing a credible business plan
Pioneering the Development of Nigeria’s small oil fields
• Feasibility- developing a credible business plan
• Market research
• Product specification
• Supply and evacuation
• Plant operations, Maintenance and modifications
• Design
– The project must embrace technology that suits the environment it will be situated

Other Unspoken Challenges
• Sociological challenges
– These relates to the prevailing mind set, the psychological and emotional capacity of personnel in our environment to handle and manage huge projects.
– It also includes community relations
– Political challenge- the political climate must be friendly to investors
• a case in point is the Amakpe refinery located in Akwa Ibom State believed to be facing some challenges between project owners.
• Deregulation
– A deregulated sector provides enabling environment for investors to make
Pioneering the Development of Nigeria’s small oil fields
– A deregulated sector provides enabling environment for investors to make returns on their investments
• Lack of incentives
– Incentives may be in the form of tax holidays for a limited period to allow investors thrive and consolidate in the first few years of coming onstream.
• Lack of transparency on the part of investors
– Some investors have come under the guise of building refineries only with the intent of securing guaranteed crude oil from the Federal Government (even before finding the site to construct).
