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

4.7. Crude and Products Losses<br />

4.7.1. Introducti<strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>NNPC</strong> accounted for $0.76billi<strong>on</strong> as crude oil and refined product losses incurred due to pipeline<br />

vandalism and crude oil theft. These losses were claimed to have been incurred during pipeline<br />

transfers of crude oil lifted from terminals to refineries for processing, and the subsequent transfers<br />

of refined products from refineries to depots and/or inter–depot transfers.<br />

<strong>NNPC</strong> categorized the crude and refined product losses as thus:<br />

Crude oil losses: Losses suffered by <strong>NNPC</strong> al<strong>on</strong>g pipeline systems in its efforts to supply crude oil<br />

to refineries. The losses were determined as differences (in barrels) between the crude oil pumped at<br />

the terminals and the crude oil received by the refineries. Crude oil is transferred from the following<br />

pipeline networks.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Chevr<strong>on</strong> Escravos to WRPC<br />

WRPC to KRPC<br />

NPDC to WRPC and<br />

B<strong>on</strong>ny to PHRC<br />

Refined Product losses: These were described as losses suffered al<strong>on</strong>g pipeline systems in the<br />

process of transferring refined petroleum products/white products (PMS, DPK or AGO) from<br />

refineries to depot or from inter depot transfers. They were accounted for as the differences between<br />

quantity transferred (in litres) and quantity received, during the review period.<br />

<strong>NNPC</strong> broke down the losses as follows:<br />

Descripti<strong>on</strong> Amount ($)<br />

Crude Oil Losses 465,809,647.05<br />

Refined Product Losses 296,047,770.15<br />

Total 761,857,417.20<br />

Table G1 – Summary of Product Losses between Jan 2012 and July 2013<br />

We reviewed and analysed the losses claimed by <strong>NNPC</strong>, assessed the reas<strong>on</strong>ableness of the claims,<br />

and examined support documents provided.<br />

Key stakeholders in crude/refined product distributi<strong>on</strong> process<br />

There are currently four (4) refineries owned by <strong>NNPC</strong> in Nigeria located in Port Harcourt, Warri and<br />

Kaduna. In additi<strong>on</strong> there is a network of pipelines and depots strategically located throughout<br />

Nigeria linking these refineries.<br />

Below are the key stakeholders with their roles and resp<strong>on</strong>sibilities in the distributi<strong>on</strong> of crude oil<br />

from terminals to refineries and from refineries to depots or inter depot transfers;<br />
