The Department of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria (DPR) recently approved new guidelines for the accommodation of more Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) investors and operators across the country. The new guidelines are in line with the federal government\u2019s plan to achieve over five million metric tonnes (5,000,000 MT) of domestic, commercial, and industrial LPG utilization in the next 10 years. It is expected that the new guidelines for Investors and Operators will improve this sector by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Attracting more investment into Nigeria\u2019s Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), the new guidelines will accommodate more investors and operators across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Enhancing the availability of LPG also known as cooking gas in Nigeria, as well as meeting the current administration\u2019s target of 5 million metric tonnes of domestic, commercial, and industrial LPG utilization in the next 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Proper utilization of LPG for job creation and national development which is the aspiration of the Federal Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Making purchase of gas more affordable for Nigerians through the Federal government\u2019s National Gas Expansion Programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an effort to curb the occurrence of gas explosion & fire incidents and improve safety in gas storage, sales, and distribution in the state, the DPR is also collaborating with the Lagos State Government and other stakeholders by shutting down plants for non-compliance with international safety standards and operating without approval or license from the DPR. A DPR permit is required to operate a company or facility that has to do with the Oil and Gas industry in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
