NNPC deploys drones to monitor movement of oil vessels
Fresh vista to the fight against the perennial problem of oil theft and pipeline vandalism appeared on the horizon Tuesday with the disclosure by the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Ibe Kachikwu that the Corporation is working towards the deployment of drones across the nation’s territorial waters to monitor the inwards and outwards movement of oil bearing vessels.
In a presentation at the special conference on Security in the Gulf of Guinea organized by the Gusau Institute, Dr. Kachikwu stated that the Corporation is working on a range of far reaching options designed to end the ugly episodes of crude and petroleum products theft within the next eight months.
The press statement of the corporation’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ohi Alegbe quoted the helmsman as saying: “We are launching an armada of approaches which will include incorporation of drones to check movements of vessels within our territorial waters; We are looking at the current logistical nightmares of changing staffing at the loading bay of crude oil export terminals virtually every 90 days, We are trying to equip the navy sufficiently though they are very well equipped in terms of skill set but not in terms of arsenal for patrols within the maritime area.”
On the issue of pipeline protection, the GMD explained that though the Corporation is working assiduously with the law enforcement agencies to increase the presence of military personnel in the area, the ultimate security for the critical oil and gas assets lies squarely with the host communities.
“The best security for these pipelines lies with the communities. We are trying to create enough incentives for them to see these pipelines as their own,’’ he said
Lamenting the impact of oil theft on the smooth operations of the nation’s refineries, the NNPC GMD warned that if left unchecked, the menace could invariably make it impossible for the NNPC to operate the refineries.
“Most of our product pipelines are ruptured and attacked frequently. For instance between June 2014 and June 2015, we recorded about 3, 500 to 4,000 attempts at the various products pipelines across the country. In addition to that, the pipelines that are supposed to convey crude to the refineries are perpetually hacked, ’’ he added.
Dr. Kachikwu noted that the resort to the use of marine vessels to convey crude to the refineries is coming at heavy cost.
“What this means is that no matter what we do with the refineries today, unless that is solved, we really are going nowhere, we cannot operate the refineries.”

Why indigenous firms get oil contract – Alison-Madueke
The Minister of Petroleum, Diezani Alison-Madueke, has said the recent award of crude oil lifting contract to indigenous companies was to encourage effective local participation in the industry.
Alison-Madueke said the decision was a deliberate policy of the Federal Government to encourage Nigerians to participate in the oil and gas sector of the economy.
This is contained in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr. Ohi Alegbe.
According to the statement, over 60 per cent of the 2014 to 2015 annual term contracts for lifting of Nigeria’s crude oil were awarded to local firms after a painstaking pre-qualification process.
It stated that the balance was shared among some international trading companies, refineries and to some countries with bilateral trade agreements with Nigeria.
“When we unveiled the Nigerian content law a few years back, the overriding principle was to grow indigenous capacity in an aggressive manner.
“I am happy to report that today, in the oil and gas sector, Nigerian content has been placed on the path of irreversible progress,” statement added.
It said the award to local players was in line with the aspiration of President Goodluck Jonathan to effectively transform the petroleum industry.
It said the advent of the Nigerian content law had encouraged indigenous investment in critical infrastructure.
“We have seen robust indigenous investments in marine vessels of various categories, and wholly owned Nigerian vessels have increased astronomically throughout the years.
“These vessels are the category one and category two types.
“Investments in reception, storage and distribution facilities such as jetties, depots, trucks, vessels and modern retail outlets have more than doubled over the past few years.
“This has helped to increase the nation’s sufficiency level in petrol supply,’’ the News Agency of Nigeria quoted the statement as saying on Monday.
