It seems unlikely anything will happen now until the end of August, earliest.

@MKKyari: "We have to open up the midstream, complete all critical gas devt projects targeted to deliver about 3Bscfd to gas market, ensure closeout of investment decision on NLNG Train 7 & improve domestic utilization to improve power generation & industrial growth" #NAICE2019

Great post, Risky, and thanks for joining up the dots.

Other things we might look forward to are:
Focus on addition of:
? New customers, including power stations (e.g. Alaoji) and
higher margin industrial customers
? Further gas resources, with c.40tcf undeveloped gas
estimated to be located within tie-in radius of pipeline
infrastructure
- Adding the Anambra assets to our portfolio
- Better governance with the passing of the PIGB
- increase in the gas price
- new licence awards
- pipeline and infrastructure improvements

No wonder the institutions are backing this!

Maybe there is still some possibility that we will acquire these assets?

From 7E website:
OPLS 905, 907 & 917 are located in the Anambra basin region of Nigeria. The fields contain existing seismic evaluations and undeveloped gas discoveries and are located in a developed industrial part of Nigeria offering significant scope to develop a gas market for power and industrial usage.
OPLs 905, 907 & 917
Seven Energy has 90% interest in OPL 905, held by GTPL (50%) and E905 Suntera Ltd (40%) and 41% interest in OPL 907, held by AGER (Seven Energy holds a 22.5% shareholding in AGER) and 42% in OPL 917, held by AGER (Seven Energy holds a 22.5% shareholding in AGER).
A gas discovery has been made on each block and some seismic data has been acquired and interpreted.

Extract:
'.... La politique régionale de développement des Hydrocarbures de la CEDEAO vient à point nommé au moment où le Gouvernement de la République du Niger vient d’adopter une Politique Pétrolière Nationale. « Quant au document sur le Programme régional de facilitation de l’approvisionnement en produits pétroliers dans l’espace, il est en parfaite corrélation avec nos actons » a-t-il déclaré précisant que plusieurs reformes sont en cours et des projets structurants concrets en exécution au Niger pour faire face aux problèmes infrastructurels et d’approvisionnements depuis que le pays est devenu producteur de pétrole. « Ainsi, nous avons une raffinerie de capacité de production de 20000 barils par jour. L’un de nos défis est justement l’acheminement du brut et des produits raffinés » a déclaré M. Foumakoye.

A cela s’ajoute le projet de construction d’un pipeline de 1980km dont 1293 au Niger et 678km au Benin pour transporter le brut destiné à l’exportation. Il ya aussi le projet de construction d’un pipeline multi-produit de 1076km de la SORAZ (raffinerie) à la frontière du Burkina Faso en traversant les grands centres de consommations à l’intérieur du pays et un embranchement de 115km pour ravitailler le dépôt de Tahoua....'

Le gouvernement béninois approuve les négociations menées avec une société chinoise dans le cadre du projet de pipeline export Niger-Bénin
19 july 2019
Extract:
'.... "Ces investissements structurants feront du Bénin un hub en matière d’exportation de pétrole brut tout en renforçant les capacités opérationnelles des acteurs du secteur pétrolier béninois", explique la même source.
La prochaine phase du processus, souligne la même source, consiste en la signature de l’accord avec la Société West African Oil Pipeline Benin Company ( WAPCO Benin), société de droit béninois, créée en vue de construire, exploiter et entretenir le système de transport béninois, pour former avec le système de transport nigérien, un système de pipeline intégré provenant du Niger et traversant le territoire du Bénin jusqu’à sa côte.'

Things seemed to be getting signed, Tier - not complete inaction.
There was the Siemens deal yesterday (perhaps the German Foreign Office is better at pulling strings than our lot?)

Next step:
By Ripples Nigeria
Nigerian Senate will on Wednesday, July 24, begin screening and confirmation of the 43 ministerial nominees sent to it by President Muhammadu Buhari.

This was disclosed by the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, after reeling out the list on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday.

According to him, other legislative activities of the lawmakers would now take a back seat to allow for the quick completion of the important assignment.

He said, “The screening of the ministerial nominees will commence tomorrow morning. All other legislative activities will take back stage for this very important national assignment.”

Buhari, who was inaugurated into office for another four-year term on May 29, finally sent in a list of those he wants as members of his second term cabinet on Tuesday.

This would be my guess, Tier:
Goddy Jedy- Agba: The former Group General Manager (GGM) Crude Oil Marketing Division (OMD) NNPC wanted desperately to govern Cross Rivers but was stopped by powerful forces. He left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC where he has been rewarded with a ministerial slot.

But remember, it is Buhari himself who pulls a lot of the strings in the Petroleum Ministry.
