Dear colleagues,
Here are several updates related for Nigeria’s offshore oil and gas projects & information:
On Aug. 16th, 2023, Nigeria's state-oil firm Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has secured a $3 billion crude oil repayment loan from Cairo-based Afrexim Bank that will support the government's reforms to stabilize the exchange rate market.A commitment letter and termsheet was signed on Wednesday for an emergency $3 billion crude oil repayment loan, the state-oil firm posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. The NNPC said the loan will immediately disburse funds to support the "government in its ongoing fiscal and monetary policy reforms aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate market".
On July 21st, 2023, NNPC signed a heads of terms agreement with oil and gas company UTM Offshore for the construction of what is the country’s first indigenous floating LNG (FLNG) project. The UTM FLNG project is expected to produce 176 million cubic feet of gas per day from the Yoho Offshore Field located in Oil Mining Lease 104. And it is anticipated that the project will create more than 7,000 job opportunities and will contribute to Nigerian’s economic development and growth.
What are the further updates for NNPC’s offshore projects? Are there any incentive plan and activities to meet production quota by the OPEC? Any updates for progress of examination and approval for FID of Bonga North Block (OML118) and Preowei? How about the opening blocks for new investors: Bosi, Satellite Field Development Phase 2, Uge and etc.?
