Nigeria Niger Delta exploration basin
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Nigeria's Niger Delta is a world-class petroleum province where over 93 billion barrels of oil and gas have been discovered over the last six decades. Since 2009, appetite for high-risk exploration has waned because of proposed legislation that would increase government share. As a result, drilling levels declined, particularly in deep and ultra-deepwater where significant fiscal and/or licence term changes could have a material impact on economics. Onshore, oil theft, vandalism and labour disputes continue to plague operators.
