摘要

尼日利亚联邦政府根据其庞大的天然气储量,确定需要加速发展天然气工业,作为实现国内生产总值积极增长的国家愿望的重点战略。尼日利亚拥有丰富的能源资源,已探明储量约为188万亿立方英尺。活跃的发电厂主要是燃气发电厂,但由于缺乏基础设施投资,它们面临原料短缺。与英国和美国不同,尼日利亚的天然气行业仍处于起步阶段。石油和天然气公司历来将天然气燃烧到环境中,主要是因为它被认为是石油的副产品,而不是经济产品。目前,发展国内市场是政府的首要任务。联邦政府最近批准了2017年尼日利亚国家天然气政策。政策中强调的目标是天然气的商业化以促进经济,电力无疑是经济增长的核心。本文讨论了天然气定价、分拆和开放获取以及国内天然气义务。这项研究的目的是强调需要改进的各个领域,并对现有法律和政策进行分析。结果表明,市场自由化和私营部门参与的增加是双方商定的两大优势。此外,与会各方一致认为,增加液化天然气在天然气总供应中的份额十分重要。

An Examination of the Nigerian Gas Law and Policy: Facilitating Domestic Gas
The Federal Government of Nigeria based on its sizable gas reserves, identified the need for accelerated development of the gas industry as a focal strategy for achieving the national aspiration of aggressive GDP growth. Endowed with energy resources, Nigeria has about 188tcf of proven reserves. Active power plants are mainly gas-fired, but they face feedstock shortages, as a result of a dearth of infrastructure investment. Nigeria’s gas industry is still in its infant stage unlike the UK and US. Oil and gas companies have historically flared natural gas into the environment mainly because it was considered an oil by-product and not an economic product. The development of a domestic market today is the top of the government's agenda. The Federal Government recently approved the Nigerian National Gas Policy 2017. The goal as highlighted in the policy is the commercialization of gas to boost the economy, electricity undoubtedly being central to economic growth. This paper discusses, gas pricing, unbundling and open access and the Domestic Gas Obligation. The purpose of this study is to highlight various areas of improvement and provide an analysis of existing laws and policy. Results suggest that market liberalization and increase in private sector involvement are the two strengths agreed upon. In addition, the participants concur on the importance of increasing share of LNG in the total natural gas supply.
