So, to eliminate under-recovery, what you need is alternative fuel. Without an alternative, you will subject people to higher prices, and that is why we go for price freedom.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAs at today, there are 22 million cars in Nigeria. Eight million are for public use. Imagine if you want to convert every car into gas, the average cost of conversion is $400. Converting eight million cars requires $3.2 billion. To do that, there are a lot of environmental investors which can invest and recover from the sale of gas and we are encouraging that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cOnce that is achieved, you will see that PMS can be sold at N1000. After all, the average distance covered by one-gallon equivalent when you compare it with LNG or CNG with respect to energy for mobility, is 2.7 against one. One for PMS, 2.7 for LNG or CNG.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cSo, with that advantage, you will see that it creates an opportunity for this industry again. The issue of subsidy, volume will all vanish, and that is what we are working towards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Auwalu also warned that the rise in Nigeria\u2019s local refining capacity as seen in the coming on stream of many refineries in the country without a corresponding increase in the country\u2019s oil production volume may threaten the country\u2019s membership of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">He lamented that out of Nigeria\u2019s over 7100 reservoirs and its mature basins, the country was recovering just as low as about 1000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The DPR director said the situation needs the collaboration of all industry players to find a solution before Nigeria gets evicted from OPEC due to low contribution.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has stated that the pump price of petrol in Nigeria may rise to N1,000 per litre when the petrol subsidy regime ends without an alternative energy source.
