Overview of the DownstreamOverview of the Downstream
Downstream consists of
Four Distribution network made up of Pipelines and Storage depots, managed by PPMC, one of NNPC’s subsidiaries
Refineries
Other downstream assets like Nigerian Gas Company, and Eleme Petrochemicals

Imperatives for Sector ReformImperatives for Sector Reform-1-1 To increase capacity utilisation in the
refineries
To create competition for improved customer service levels
To improve the regulatory frame work and liberalise prices and imports
To diversify supply sources and improve transparency

Imperatives for Sector ReformImperatives for Sector Reform-2-2 To create adequate margins for all
stakeholders and attract investments into the sector
To eliminate petroleum products scarcity and set the stage for coordinated export to the West African sub-region.
To progressively re-establish the fuel supply-demand balance
To create the necessary environment for privatisation

Deregulation and LiberalisationDeregulation and Liberalisation
First trigger to deregulation is the freeing of prices and pricing procedure
Attracts other participants Concomitant effect on investment
and competition Full deregulation required, not price
fixing

The Refineries – Benefits of The Refineries – Benefits of PivatisationPivatisation
Privatisation will: Bring about necessary changes in the
management and operations of the refineries
Attract much needed investment for maintenance, rehabilitation and expansion
Position the refineries for improved performance in a liberalised environment
Strengthening Nigeria's Refineries
21
Pre-conditions to PrivatisationPre-conditions to Privatisation
Deregulation of petroleum product market by removal of all barriers to internal trade, exports or imports of refined products.
Freeing of crude oil prices, so that refineries will pay the equivalent of world prices for crude.
Establishment of a Regulatory Commission for the Sector.

The Distribution NetworkThe Distribution Network PPMC is responsible for the
sourcing and distribution of refined petroleum products across the country through a network of pipelines and depots
Distribution network is made up of: Over 5,000 km of pipelines 17 depots and 3 refinery-based
petroleum product tank farms 2 jetties and 1 export terminal

Distribution network – Distribution network – Challenges for reformChallenges for reform Strategic storage of products Strategies for privatisation Security arrangements to forestall
vandalisation of pipelines Encouraging competition in the supply
chain and ensuring that participants who do not own facilities are not disadvantaged
Creation of a regulatory framework for gas, crude oil and petroleum products pipelines – common carrier status

Notes on Guidelines for Notes on Guidelines for Licensing of New RefineriesLicensing of New Refineries International market prices will be
maintained for Nigerian crude procured by refiners
Refiners free to source own crude Entire pipeline network, pump stations and
depots to be available for lease to refiners and marketers –tariffs to be charged
Government reserves right to participate up to 15% at commencement. Option of 25% participation also reserved

ConclusionConclusion There is broad consensus that public enterprises in Nigeria
have failed woefully to live up to our expectations. Our leaders have recognized that privatization is inevitable –
state capitalism has failed, is outdated and unsustainable. The Privatization Programme offers a viable route of entry for
any genuine foreign investor. The openness and transparency of the process enables anyone to participate and win.
BPE is committed to living up to the expectations of our nation and our friends abroad, in the honest, timely and transparent implementation of the public enterprise reform programme.
We need genuine investors – Nigerian and foreign, and we are on hand to help anyone with information and contacts, etc.
