2.1 ORYX Oil & Gas Portfolio2.1 ORYX Oil & Gas Portfolio
Storage: 5 key terminals providing 24 hour service +300,000 m3 HC & + 6,500 m3 LPG in 2005 Dakar, Abidjan, Cotonou, Freetown, Dar Es Salaam
Distribution 5 LPG cylinder filling plants
(Abidjan, Cotonou, Dar Es Salaam + satellites) +600 LPG retail outlets +100 Service stations network
A mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons, very rich in energy content, easy to store in liquid form at low pressure (contrary to natural gas)
What is LPG ?
It originates from the refining process of crude oil or comes as associated gas in natural gas or crude oil wells
Why is it so little known ?

5.1 Benefits of LPG
5.2 LPG: tailored for Africa
5.3 Structural Barriers to LPG Development
5.4 Making it work
5.1 Benefits of LPG5.1 Benefits of LPG
Main benefits Portable and powerful:
high calorific value for the same volume
Practical:6kg cylinders for domestic use, right at the heart of the family
Economical:non-perishable, non-degradable
“Clean”: non-toxic
Environmentally-friendly• an alternative to wood• an efficient way of fighting• deforestation
“Democratic”• beneficial for areas with
weak energy infrastructure• labour intensive• making life easier for women
5.2 LPG: 5.2 LPG: “Tailored” for Africa“Tailored” for Africa
5.3 Structural Barriers to LPG 5.3 Structural Barriers to LPG DevelopmentDevelopment
Lack of supply and/or infrastructure terminals and
plants
Inadequate regulations Cylinder property
right Cylinder exchanges
and cross-filling practices
Lack of standards (cylinders, appliances and filling plants)
Limited access for poorer classes cost of cylinder and appliances
Inappropriate taxation
cost of gas itself
import taxes indirect LPG subsidies to “traditional
fuels” subsidies: a “curse in disguise”
Lack of awareness from government authorities from the public in general
5.3 Structural Barriers to LPG 5.3 Structural Barriers to LPG DevelopmentDevelopment
5.4 Making it work5.4 Making it work
Supply and infrastructure
Role of private sector
Support from international institutions
Full involvement of investors & distribution companies
Capital intensive industry Slow but steady returns Involvement in the whole supply chain Consumer education
Commitment from international institutions Financing collective infrastructures Support for micro-credits Exchange of good practices
5.4 Making it work5.4 Making it work
Regulations developing adequate framework using experience from
well established and structured market opting for a cylinder deposit system banning cross-filling establishing a licensing system
Access for poorer classes and implication of taxes developing an efficient network financing solutions such as micro-credit eliminate taxation of LPG and cylinders (import duties
and VAT) harmonizing the tax system (in case partial taxation is
maintained) Support from governments Stability of the political and legal systems Rules governing trade and investment Regulations concerning industry operating and
safety standards Involvement in fair tax / duty treatment
Awareness & Consumer’s Adherence Openness to change
education campaigns (schools, associations, role of village heads)
- safety- applications
advertising campaigns by marketers
5.4 Making it work5.4 Making it work
ConclusionConclusion
Access to modern energy is a pre-requisite to economic and social development.
L.P.G. = Long-term Progress Generator
Africa with its increasing production of LPG and weak infrastructure has a solution within easy reach.It is only by combining the efforts of all stakeholders (private sector, government bodies, international institutions and public in general) that we will be able to grasp this historic opportunity.
