The Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, has promised to adopt measures to address the lingering issues of back allocation of basic sediments and water, BSW, during crude oil production reconciliation.
Such measures will also address the imposition of disproportionate volume of lost crude by some facility owners on indigenous operators.
The Director, DPR, Mr. George Osahon, made the pledge recently while receiving a communiqué from a workshop on “Fluid Metering and Accounting in the Oil & Gas Industry” on behalf of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
The workshop was organised recently by the Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists, NAPE.
Osahon said: “You will recall that there have been a lot of issues regarding NEITI and metering and about what we need to do, some of these issues emanate from here and we are paying a lot of attention to them.”
He added that “the document (communiqué) will come back for us to study and advice again on what we should do, how we should do it, and when we should do it. We will turn that into a plan of action of what we will do so that at least those companies that are suffering now especially those that are co- utilising facilities will have a new lease of life.’’
Also speaking, the NAPE President, Mrs. Adedoja Ojelabi, explained that the workshop was a demonstration of NAPE’s commitment to resolving issues that impact negatively on the oil and gas industry.
She said: “the production of the document has come out from a lot of work, meetings and the consensus reached by stakeholders. We hope that the document will be useful to the DPR, the government, the oil and gas industry and particularly Independents.
“We also see that industry is likely to witness more and more of such issues but we hope we can nip them in the bud before they become major irritations in the industry.”
She added that one of the ways NAPE does this is by providing platforms like the Special Management Workshop.
Also present at the occasion was NAPE’s President-Elect, Mr. Chikwendu Edoziem, who expressed optimismc that when adopted, the communiqué will bring lasting solutions to the issues of fluid metering and accounting in the oil and gas industry.
