Strengthening the Decommissioning and Abandonment Framework in Nigeria’s Oil and Gas Sector
This policy brief assesses Nigeria’s approach to decommissioning and abandonment in the upstream oil and gas sector, focusing on regulatory compliance, financial safeguards, and the protection of host communities and the environment amid asset divestments and the energy transition. It outlines progress made under the Petroleum Industry Act and recent actions by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, while highlighting gaps in transparency, monitoring, institutional capacity, cost estimation, and stakeholder participation that must be addressed to prevent long-term environmental and financial liabilities.
