Investigative Forensic audit of crude oil revenues and remittances by <strong>NNPC</strong> (January 2012 – July 2013)<br />

3.3. Crude Oil Value Chain<br />

The Nigerian Oil and Gas sector is split into two broad categories: the upstream and downstream<br />

sectors.<br />

The upstream sector involves operati<strong>on</strong>s such as explorati<strong>on</strong>, development, producti<strong>on</strong> and<br />

transportati<strong>on</strong> of crude oil, while the downstream sector involves operati<strong>on</strong>s such as refining of crude<br />

into its various c<strong>on</strong>stituents, distributi<strong>on</strong> and marketing.<br />

In broad terms, the Federati<strong>on</strong>’s share of total crude lifted from oil terminals across the country can<br />

either be exported (Equity crude) or kept for c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> to refined products and sold locally<br />

(Domestic crude).<br />

The Federati<strong>on</strong>’s equity interest, royalty interest, and PPT interest in crude oil producti<strong>on</strong> is sold to<br />

approved crude oil traders or off-takers and is exported with revenues accruing to the Federati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

These revenues accrue through three main agents of government (i.e., Nigerian Nati<strong>on</strong>al Petroleum<br />

Corporati<strong>on</strong>, the Department of Petroleum Resources, and the Federal Inland Revenue Service). The<br />

Central Bank of Nigeria maintains separate accounts with JP Morgan Chase for these agencies where<br />

funds from the applicable sale of crude by the off-takers are paid into.<br />

The term Domestic Crude Oil refers to the 445,000 barrels per day of crude oil allocated to the <strong>NNPC</strong><br />

out of the total crude oil producti<strong>on</strong> of the country for the purpose of domestic c<strong>on</strong>sumpti<strong>on</strong>. This<br />

quantity of 445,000 barrels per day was derived from the installed capacity of the four (4) local<br />

refineries situated at Port Harcourt (2 refineries), Warri and Kaduna. <strong>NNPC</strong> sells to PPMC to supply<br />

the nati<strong>on</strong>’s four refineries, while PPMC pays for the crude within 90 days using proceeds from<br />

refined product sales. <strong>NNPC</strong> is then expected to pay the FGN for this crude oil allocati<strong>on</strong> at applicable<br />

internati<strong>on</strong>al market prices.<br />
