THE DEPARTMENT OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES (DPR)
• The Present day DPR, has evolved over the years. Its regulatory and supervisory role in the Petroleum Industry has been performed as far back as the early fifties with the objectivity of ensuring that National goals and aspirations are not thwarted and that oil companies operate in accordance with International Oil Industry Standards & Practises
• + 1100 Employees (Engineers, Geoscientists, Environmental Scientists, IT, Economists, Accountants and Administrators)
• 18 offices across the country
Department of Petroleum Resources
FUNCTIONS OF DPRFUNCTIONS OF DPR • Supervising all Petroleum Industry Operations in order to ensure
compliance with regulations and in line with good oil field practise.
• Enforcing safety and environmental regulations and ensuring that those operations conform to national and international industry standards
• Keeping and updating records on Petroleum industry operations, particularly on matters relating to petroleum reserves, production and exports of crude oil, gas and condensate.
• Advising Government and relevant Agencies on technical matters and policies which may have impact on the administration and control of petroleum.
• Processing all applications for licenses so as to ensure compliance with guidelines
• Monitoring Government Indigenisation policy to ensure that local content philosophy is achievable.

LEGISLATION -Data Reporting• Section 54 of the Petroleum(Drilling and Production) Regulation
1969 specifies that the licensee :– shall submit to the Director, DPR copies of every log or bore-hole survey and
seismograms, copies of all geological records, seismic surveys, seismic maps– May be directed by the Director, DPR to keep the records in his custody– Render a report to the Director, DPR upon termination of lease– Keep accurate geological and subsurface plans, maps and records
• Section 55 empowers any persons authorised by the Director, DPR to enter into the relevant area :
– To inspect and make abstracts or copies of any logs, records, maps, accounts or other document which the licensee or lessee is required to make or keep in accordance with these Regulations
• Section 56 specifies that all records, reports, plans, maps :– Required to be furnished under the Act shall be supplied at the expense of the
licensee or lessee

HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN NDRHISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN NDR• Arising from the legislative provisions of Petroleum (Drilling &
Production) Regulation 1969, the concept for the Nigerian NDR was conceived to enable the Government gain control over the increasing quantum of E&P data
• Open tender for the establishment of the NDR floated in Aug. 2000:– 20 Companies responded, 3 were pre-qualified
• Industry consensus was cultivated through a Data management workshop held with technical support from Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) in 2001
• Workshop was a rewarding exercise as the foundation for the Nigerian NDR was established :– NDR project to be jointly funded by the Government and Industry– Two Industry committees which shall be responsible for the
establishment of the project were set-up
• In Nov 2002, further investigations of the NDR technologies proposed including similar implementations of NDR around the world was carried out by an Industry study group.
Department of Petroleum Resources
HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN NDRHISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN NDR• The findings of the group set-out the road map for the
Nigerian NDR: – Data Preparation – Communications– Business Model– Legislative provision for public release of data
• Landmark/IDSL Consortium awarded contract to establish and operate a National Data Repository and the associated Communications Infrastructure in June 2003.
• Contract agreement executed in December 2003. The contract period is for a five year period from Dec. 2003 – Dec. 2007.

OBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN NDROBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN NDRGovernment’s PerspectiveGovernment’s Perspective
• Preserve, maintain the integrity and promote the National E&P data assets with improved quality, efficiency and accessibility in the most rapid, secure and reliable manner
• Improve the management of National Exploration and Production activities so as to Optimise the National Hydrocarbon potential
• Provide source of digital data required to give Nigeria a
competitive advantage in attracting new investors in the Oil & Gas sector, through licensing rounds.
• Strengthen Government Agencies’, DPR and NAPIMS in performing their monitoring and supervisory roles in the Industry
• Provide the basis for public data release practise

OBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN NDROBJECTIVES OF THE NIGERIAN NDROil CompanyOil Company Perspective Perspective
• Improved regulatory reporting process• Source of readily accessible data of known
quality • Promote sharing of data amongst
stakeholders and their partners in the most rapid, reliable and secure manner
• Reduced lifecycle costs of data management practises

INSTITUTIONAL CO-OPERATION WITH NPD
• Co-operation between DPR and NPD dates back to late ’90s and has progressed steadily
• NPD shared their experience of running a successful NDR with an Industry forum in Nigeria, in August 2001. These efforts led to the establishment of an effective governance structure for the NDR project which include the participation of major stakeholders in the Industry
• In April 2002, the DPR was enlightened on the best practices for cultural data collection and setting-up of enabling policies for the release of public data at a workshop organised with technical support from NPD
Department of Petroleum Resources
INSTITUTIONAL CO-OPERATION WITH NPD Contd.
• The DPR and NPD formally entered into an institutional co-operation agreement in 2004 to establish a base for the further transfer of knowledge and experience in Data Management, Resource management and amongst others. The co-operation is being funded by NORAD.
• More technical assistance has been received from NPD in the area of data modeling and establishment of Cultural(Administrative) Database.
• On-going efforts towards the development of a draft legislative framework for the public release of data .

Lessons Learned• Data
– Locating historic data is a great challenge– Adopt a phased approach for loading data– Set realistic target dates for loading of data– Quality control is important else users will not have
confidence in the data set
• Management and Organisation– Regulatory Agency must play a leadership role and
demonstrate total commitment to the project– Stakeholders must be fully engaged in the project– Data bank should be managed by the professionals
