PENGASSAN tasks NNPC on rehabilitation of fuel depots, tank farms

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has called on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to intensify ongoing rehabilitation of the nation’s downstream facilities, especially the depots, pipelines, tank farms, and jetties to further ensure seamless supply of products across the country.

PENGASSAN  commended the NNPC Group Managing Director, Dr. Maikanti Baru, for collaborating with other government agencies and critical stakeholders to bring about efficiency in the petroleum industry, adding that his efforts have led to improved products supply being enjoyed in the country.

National President of the association, Francis Johnson, said PENGASSAN was in support of the NNPC and its plan too rehabilitate the national refineries.

“PENGASSAN will support any effective, efficient and sustainable model that can make the refineries viable,” Comrade Johnson said.

Speaking on NNPC’s exploration activities in the inland basins, the union commended the Corporation for spearheading the projects.

Johnson described the project as a “yeoman job”, adding that it would benefit the nation ultimately.
According to him, the union’s fervent prayer was for a breakthrough to be achieved in the Corporation’s exploratory efforts in the basins.

The management of NNPC under the leadership of Maikanti Baru has in recent time embarked on aggressive exploratory operations in the nation’s frontier basins – Chad Basin and Benue Trough – in line with the aspiration of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to increase the reserves base of the country.

Baru, since assumption of office last year, has drummed up support for the exploration activities with critical stakeholders in Bauchi, Borno, Sokoto and Nassarawa State.

In Nassarawa State recently, he disclosed that NNPC’s Frontier Exploration Services, FES, a services company of the Corporation, had mobilised the Integrated Data Services Ltd, an upstream arm of the NNPC, to acquire seismic data in the Benue Trough commencing from the Keana area.

ExxonMobil  has  announced that it plans to triple total daily production to more than 600,000 oil-equivalent barrels by 2025 from its operations in the Permian Basin in West Texas and New Mexico. Tight oil production from the Delaware and Midland basins will increase five-fold in the same period. Recent changes in the U.S. corporate tax rate create an environment for increased future capital investments, including ExxonMobil’s plan to spend more than $2 billion on transportation infrastructure to support its Permian operations. Through capital efficient production growth, the increased volumes will be driven by reduced drilling costs, technology improvements and expanded acreage. ExxonMobil has amassed a large, highly contiguous acreage position, located in the prolific, multi-layered oil zones of the Delaware and Midland basins. Combined with operating experience gained through drilling more than 5,000 horizontal unconventional wells, and a leading-edge technology organization, Exxon

Oil options cheapest in three years as OPEC meeting approaches

Betting on price swings in oil costs the least in three years before next week’s OPEC meeting. Implied volatility of options on second-month West Texas Intermediate futures sank to 20.94% Friday, the lowest level since October 2014, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Volatility has been sinking as futures move steadily higher, with prices reaching $59/bbl for the first time in more than two years. This week’s cheap options may prove a good deal, if the OPEC/non-OPEC meeting next week brings any surprises that send prices gyrating. The organization and Russia are said to have agreed on the framework of an extension of the oil supply cuts beyond March. But there still are details to be hammered out. Source: World Oil
