Our Approach

Specialist economics for Nigeria's gas aggregation challenge

The Petroleum Industry Act created new commercial opportunities — and new complexity — across Nigeria's gas value chain. ECP brings specialist economics to gas aggregation market design, domestic pricing reform, processing plant investment, and fiscal advisory, helping producers, aggregators, off-takers, and governments navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

Gas Aggregation & Processing — Full Capability

Gas Aggregation Economics & Market Design
01
🔗

Gas Aggregation Economics & Market Design

Designing and evaluating gas aggregation models — from virtual hubs to anchor-buyer structures — with rigorous economics underpinning market design decisions.

Aggregation models (virtual hubs, anchor-buyer models, aggregator SPVs)
Optimal gas pooling strategies (volume, quality, contract tenor)
Cost of service vs market-based aggregation pricing
Demand aggregation for power, fertilizer, LPG and CNG
Gas balancing, line pack economics, and nomination risk
Hub vs bilateral contracting economics
Transitional pricing frameworks for immature markets
Gas Aggregation under the PIA
02
📋

Gas Aggregation under the PIA

Filling the commercial and regulatory gaps in PIA-compliant gas aggregation — from risk allocation frameworks to aggregator margin justification.

Design of PIA-compliant gas aggregation models
Economic allocation of risk (volume shortfall, producer default, off-taker non-payment)
Aggregator margin justification (cost-reflective margins)
Aggregation vs flare commercialisation economics (comparing penalties vs aggregation investment)
Domestic Gas Pricing & DGSO Economics
03
💰

Domestic Gas Pricing & DGSO Economics

Analysing the economics of domestic gas pricing regulation — from DGSO compliance costs to price transition frameworks for a willing-buyer, willing-seller market.

DGSO compliance economics (cost of supplying domestic gas vs export alternatives)
Domestic gas price adequacy studies (producer netbacks under regulated prices)
Price transition frameworks (gradual migration to willing-buyer, willing-seller)
Economic cost of price suppression (impact on gas processing investment & supply reliability)
Gas Processing Plant Economics under PIA Incentives
04
⚙️

Gas Processing Plant Economics under PIA Incentives

Valuing and structuring gas processing plant investments under the PIA's incentive regime — from tax holidays to tolling vs ownership decisions.

Economic valuation of PIA gas incentives (tax holidays, capital allowance treatment)
Modular vs centralised gas processing (alignment with gas flare commercialisation rules)
Tolling vs ownership economics (especially for third-party processing plants)
Processing tariff defensibility
Gas Flaring, Processing & Commercialisation Economics
05
🔥

Gas Flaring, Processing & Commercialisation Economics

Economic analysis of flare capture investments versus penalty costs, and the small-scale processing options that unlock stranded gas value.

Flare capture vs penalty optimisation
Economics of small-scale processing (LPG extraction, CNG/Mini-LNG, FLNG)
Aggregation of flare gas across operators
Government revenue maximisation analysis (penalties vs commercial outcomes)
Midstream Licensing & Tariff Regulation
06
⚖️

Midstream Licensing & Tariff Regulation

Designing and defending cost-reflective tariffs for midstream gas infrastructure — from entry-exit systems to tariff reset and review economics.

Cost of service tariff modelling
Entry-exit tariff systems
Tariff reset and review economics
Domestic Gas Commercialisation & Power Sector Interface
07

Domestic Gas Commercialisation & Power Sector Interface

Unlocking gas-to-power bankability through rigorous payment security economics and alternative off-taker strategies that work in Nigeria's complex power market.

Gas-to-power bankability analysis
Payment security economics (guarantees, escrow, partial risk guarantees)
Alternative off-taker strategies (industrial cluster vs grid power)
Cost of non-payment modelling (embedded in gas pricing and processing tariffs)
Indigenous Gas Monetisation under the PIA
08
🌍

Indigenous Gas Monetisation under the PIA

Helping indigenous producers unlock gas value through aggregation participation, third-party processing access, and financing-ready business plans.

Gas monetisation strategies (aggregation participation, third-party processing)
Joint gas infrastructure economics
Financing-ready gas business plans
Reserve to revenue conversion modelling
Fiscal & Government Revenue Advisory
09
🏛️

Fiscal & Government Revenue Advisory

Quantifying government take from gas projects and advising on incentive design, revenue forecasting, and the economics of gas vs crude development choices.

Gas revenue forecasting (royalties, taxes, processing fees)
Economic impact of incentives
Gas vs crude substitution analysis
State and host community gas economics
