A number of the multinational establishments in the oil and gas sector are looking to pack their bags from the country. Mele Kyari , the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, has come out to explain why oil companies of foreign origin are ceasing to operate in the country any further. Companies such as Royal Dutch Shell have closed and reports have recently surfaced of Exxon Mobil, Chevron and Total Energies are looking to sell their assets off. These developments have brought a lot of uncertainty into the Nigerian oil industry which is not as vibrant as it once was. Kyari explained that the reason for these foreign oil firms leaving is because they are focusing their attention on other energy sectors especially those that have to deal with reducing carbon emissions to net-zero levels. “Companies are divesting. They are leaving our country. That is the best way to put it," Kyari said. "They are not leaving because opportunities are not here but because companies are shifting their portfolios where they can add value and not just that, but where they can also add to the journey towards carbon net-zero commitment.” With increasing levels of climate change which is a threat to the environment, countries across the world are coming together to reduce the level of carbon and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Energy major Chevron Corporation and Renewable Energy Group, Inc. (REG) has announced a definitive agreement under which Chevron will acquire the outstanding shares of REG in an all-cash transaction valued at $3.15 billion, or $61.50 per share. The acquisition combines REG’s growing renewable fuels production and leading feedstock capabilities with Chevron’s large manufacturing, distribution, and commercial marketing position. REG is leading the energy and transportation industries’ transition to sustainability by converting renewable resources into high-quality, sustainable fuels. Mike Wirth, Chairman and CEO, Chevron, said that “REG was a founder of the renewable fuels industry and has been a leading innovator ever since,” “Together, we can grow more quickly and efficiently than either could on its own.” Meanwhile, the transaction is expected to accelerate progress toward Chevron’s goal to grow renewable fuels production capacity to 100,000 barrels per day by 2030 and bring additional feedstock supplies and pre-treatment facilities.

Ibe Kachikwu, a former minister of state for petroleum resources, has said the flurry of divestments by International Oil Companies from onshore and shallow waters does not bode well for Nigeria and the government needs to have an honest conversation on how to deal with the issues. In remarks at the fifth edition of the Nigerian International Energy Summit in Abuja on Tuesday, Kachikwu said the divestments happening at the same time “means something is wrong,” adding that the country needed IOCs’ funding capacity to develop the assets. “We need to have a relationship discussion with the IOCs; if they are not doing crude, they can do gas,” he said. Last week, ExxonMobil announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its equity interest in Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited to Seplat Energy, a Nigerian independent oil and gas company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Seplat Energy Offshore Limited. When finalised, the sale will include the Mobil Development Nigeria and Mobil Exploration Nigeria equity ownership of Mobil Producing Nigeria Unlimited, which holds a 40 per cent stake in four oil mining licenses, including more than 90 shallow-water and onshore platforms and 300 producing wells. “This sale will allow us to prioritise competitively advantaged investments in our strategic assets, and it supports the Nigerian government’s efforts to grow its oil and gas operations,” said Liam Mallon, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Oil, and Gas.

LONDON : Russian oil trade was in disarray yesterday as producers postponed sales, importers rejected Russian ships and buyers worldwide searched elsewhere for needed crude after a raft of sanctions imposed on Moscow over the war in Ukraine. Numerous nations imposed sweeping sanctions against Russian companies, banks and individuals following Russia''s invasion of Ukraine last week and global majors announced plans to leave multi-million-dollar positions in Russia. US, European and other governments exempted energy trade from sanctions to prevent already tight markets rallying further, but that has failed. Global benchmark Brent crude settled at nearly US$105 a barrel yesterday, its highest since August 2014, as refiners, traders and oil majors steer clear of Russia, out of an abundance of caution that they may unwittingly run afoul of sanctions somewhere. Russia is the second largest exporter of crude worldwide, trailing only Saudi Arabia, as it ships out 4 million to 5 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude, along with 2 million to 3 million bpd of refined products.
