Description
This book offers unique insight regarding the Nigerian government oil marginal field farm-out exercise which raised international concern over its ability to be fair, justified, and legal whilst requiring a cautionary application to avoid driving away investors. It demonstrates the prudence in developing oil marginal fields alongside renewable energy to aid the development and gradual switch to renewable energy. It traces the authority behind natural resources development and foreign direct investment in resolutions and policy statements of the UN and OPEC. It discusses petroleum business arrangements and Nigerian oil marginal field regulations, and reviews Nigerian marginal field development. Concluding the legality of the government farm-out exercise was drawn from a combination of the United Nations resolutions on developing countries sovereignty over natural resources and declaratory statements of the OPEC on member countries making policy development to take charge of their natural resources.
