REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) UNDER THE NIGERIAN GAS FLARE COMMERCIALISATION PROGRAMME (NGFCP)
1.0 INTRODUCTION
As part of the Federal Government of Nigeria’s (FGN) commitment to reposition the Oil and Gas Industry and Gas Expansion drive, the FGN initiated the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme (NGFCP) pursuant to Paragraph 35(b) of the First Schedule to the Petroleum Act, 1969 and the Flare Gas (Prevention of Waste and Pollution) Regulations, 2018. Recently, the evaluation of Statement of Qualification (SOQ) submitted by interested companies was completed, in which several Applicants attained the ‘Qualified Applicant (QA)’ Status. Consequently, we are pleased to inform you of the commencement of the next competitive stage of the Programme through this issuance of the Request for Proposal (RFP).
2.0 BACKGROUND
The thrust of the Nigerian Government is attaining Zero Routine Flaring (ZRF) from oil and gas operations across the nation and is committed to working with the investors, both local and international, development partners, financial institutions and other stakeholders to realise significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in demonstration of its commitment to the Paris Climate Change Agreement (COP 21).
The Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialization Programme (NGFCP) is a commercial approach to eliminate routine gas flaring by creating value from flare gas through the capture and transformation of waste gas into useful products. Government will therefore award flare site(s) to competent third-party investors with proven technologies and financial capability through a competitive bid process, to implement this approach. This Programme would drive positive social, environmental and economic impacts in the Niger Delta region and the country, in general.
