I think it turns up from here, news or no news

Information on the "NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION "

I thought the PR was quite meaty actually. Not a "cookie cutter", "no brainer", "high dollar" press release, I agree.

But if one reads between the lines it shows much potential.

For instance, let's firstly examine "WHO" this new potential client is.

"NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (NNPC)

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, was established on April 1, 1977, under the statutory instrument-Decree No.33 of same year by

a merger of Nigerian National Oil Corporation, NNOC, with its operational functions and the Federal Ministry of Mines & Power

with its regulatory responsibilities.

(Nigeria joined the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1971 and established the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) in 1977, a state owned and controlled company which is a major player in both the upstream and downstream sectors.)-http://www.nnpcgroup.com/history.htm


This decree established NNPC, a public organization that would, on behalf of Government, adequately manage all government interests in the Nigerian Oil industry.

In addition to its exploration activities, the Corporation was given powers and operational interests in refining, petrochemicals and products transportation as well as marketing.

Between 1978 and 1989, NNPC constructed refineries in Warri, Kaduna and Port Harcourt and took over the 35,000-barrel Shell Refinery established in Port Harcourt in 1965.

In 1988, the NNPC was commercialised into 12 strategic business units, covering the entire spectrum of oil industry operations:

exploration and production,
gas development,
refining,
distribution,
petrochemicals,
engineering,
and commercial investments.

The subsidiary companies include:


National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS)
Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC)
The Nigerian Gas Company (NGC)
The Products and Pipelines Marketing Company (PPMC)
Integrated Data Services Limited (IDSL)
Nigerian LNG limited (NLNG)
National Engineering and Technical Company Limited (NETCO)
Hydrocarbon Services Nigeria Limited(HYSON)
Warri Refinery and Petrochemical Co. Limited (WRPC)
Kaduna Refinery and Petrochemical Co. Limited(KRPC)
Port Harcourt Refining Co. Limited (PHRC)
Eleme Petrochemicals Co. Limited (EPCL)

In addition to these subsidiaries, the industry is also regulated by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), a department within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources.

The DPR ensures compliance with industry regulations; processes applications for licenses, leases and permits, establishes and enforces environmental regulations.

The DPR, and NAPIMS, play a very crucial role in the day to day activities throughout the industry."

"Petroleum production and export play a dominant role in Nigeria's economy and account for about 90% of her gross earnings. "

Clearly there exists a very large base of potential for reclamation related services here, I am quite intrigued as to where this will lead.
