White House says at least 8 US telecom firms, dozens of nations impacted by China hacking campaignDeVonta Smith returns to full practice participation
Emmanuel Addeh in Abuja Six key operators, including four International Oil Companies (IOCs) and two indigenous oil and gas firms recorded a total revenue of $38.5 billion in 2023, a new document released by the federal government has shown. The newly-launched ‘Compendium for Investment in Nigeria’s Oil and Gas Industry’ by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources indicated that despite the huge revenue, the oil sector’s contribution to Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) dropped from 9.77 per cent in Q3 in 2019 to 5.48 per cent in Q3, 2023. Nigeria largely depends on oil and gas export for its foreign exchange earnings, although the sector has struggled for about four years in terms of ramping up crude oil production as well as ensuring the seamless working of the downstream. According to the document, the IOCs, including Shell, raked in $10.5 billion; ExxonMobil made $9.2 billion; Chevron made a total revenue of $8 billion, while Total Energies earned a gross revenue of $7.5 billion. On the other hand, the two Nigerian oil companies profiled in the report showed that Seplat earned $1.8 billion, while Oando’s revenue was $1.5 billion in the 12 months of last year. However, these figures were before the recent rash of divestments from the IOCs to the Nigerian oil firms. In all, despite the $38.5 billion revenue, Shell which controls 27 per cent of the oil market among the six companies, made a net profit of $1.8 billion; ExxonMobil earned $1.6 billion; Chevron’s was $1.2 billion, while Total Energies earned a net profit of $900 million. Seplat’s net profit was $300 million, according to the document, while Oando’s was $250 million, with the entire net profit by the six companies hitting $6.050 billion during the period. Aside Shell’s 27 per cent share of the oil sector, ExxonMobil controlled 24 per cent during the period under review; Chevron had a share of 18 per cent; Total Energies’ share of the market was 15 per cent, while Seplat and Oando Plc had 5 per cent market share apiece. “The oil and gas sector experienced a robust recovery in 2023, with total revenue reaching $38.5 billion, a significant increase compared to previous years. This growth is attributed to rising global oil prices production increase and capacities. “The total net profit for the sector rose to $6.05 billion, reflecting improved operational efficiencies and cost management strategies. Companies like Shell, ExxonMobil, and Chevron continue to dominate the market, collectively accounting for nearly 70 per cent of total revenue. “Indigenous players, such as Seplat and Oando, are gradually increasing their market share and earnings, focusing on local production and distribution. This shift reflects a growing trend towards local content development and self-sufficiency,” the document added. Besides, the federal government data showed that crude oil production has been dipping since 2015, hitting 2.2 million barrels per day that year; 2 million bpd in 2016; 2.1 million bpd in 2017; 2.3 million in 2018; 2.2 million bpd in 2019 and 1.8 million bpd in 2020. In the same vein, in 2021 the slump in crude oil production continued, dropping to 1.6 million bpd; 1.5 million bpd in 2022 and 1.4 million bpd in 2023. On the challenges impacting earnings and hobbling activities in the sector, the government document blamed the regulatory environment; impact of external factors; increasing environmental concerns, among others. “The complex regulatory landscape and policy changes can impact operational efficiency and investor confidence, affecting earnings. Dependence on global oil prices means that external economic factors, such as geopolitical tensions and shifts in demand, can significantly influence revenues. “The scrutiny on necessitate investments in sustainable technologies, environmental practices may potentially impacting short-term earnings,” it added. In all, the report stated that with ongoing investments in exploration and production, alongside a shift towards cleaner energy, the sector is expected to continue a growth trajectory. In addition, it said that companies will increasingly focus on sustainable practices and technologies, which may reshape their earnings structures in the coming years. It noted that as the government continues to encourage local content participation, indigenous oil and gas companies are expected to play a larger role in exploration. On future oil production outlook, the document recommended the application of Artificial Intelligence (Al) to optimise exploration and production processes while Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) techniques should be deployed to increase oil recovery from depleted reservoirs. Noting that oil exports are a vital source of foreign exchange, essential for stabilising the naira and supporting imports, the report stated that oil exports significantly affect Nigeria’s balance of payments, making the economy vulnerable to global oil price shocks.Oklahoma's quarterback turnover puts immense pressure on HC Brent VenablesMr Biden told African leaders the resource-rich continent of more than 1.4 billion people had been “left behind for much too long”. “But not anymore,” Mr Biden added. “Africa is the future.” Mr Biden used the third and final day of a visit to Angola – his long-awaited, first trip to sub-Saharan Africa as president – to travel to the coastal city of Lobito and tour an Atlantic port terminal that’s part of the Lobito Corridor railway redevelopment. Mr Biden described it as the largest US investment in a train project outside America. The US and allies are investing heavily in the project that will refurbish nearly 1,200 miles of train lines connecting to the mineral-rich areas of Congo and Zambia in central Africa. The corridor, which likely will take years to complete, gives the US better access to cobalt, copper and other critical minerals in Congo and Zambia that are used in batteries for electric vehicles, electronic devices and clean energy technologies that Mr Biden said would power the future. China is dominant in mining in Congo and Zambia. The US investment has strategic implications for US-China economic competition, which went up a notch this week as they traded blows over access to key materials and technologies. The African leaders who met with Mr Biden on Wednesday said the railway corridor offered their countries a much faster route for minerals and goods – and a convenient outlet to Western markets. “This is a project that is full of hope for our countries and our region,” said Congo President Felix Tshisekedi, whose country has more than 70% of the word’s cobalt. “This is not just a logistical project. It is a driving force for economic and social transformation for millions of our people.” The leaders said the corridor should spur private-sector investment and improve a myriad of related areas like roads, communication networks, agriculture and clean energy technologies. For the African countries, it could create a wave of new jobs for a burgeoning young population. Cargo that once took 45 days to get to the US – usually involving trucks via South Africa – would now take around 45 hours, Mr Biden said. He predicted the project could transform the region from a food importer to exporter. It’s “something that if done right will outlast all of us and keep delivering for our people for generations to come,” he said. The announcement of an additional $600 million took the U.S.’s investment in the Lobito Corridor to 4.0 billion dollars (£3.15 billion).
NoneSHARK has officially kicked off its epic Black Friday sale, and the brand's bestselling FlexStyle has been slashed from £269.99 to £199.99. The popular hair tool has been trending ever since its release in 2022 - and I swear by the styler that's £200 cheaper than the iconic Dyson Airwrap. Advertisement The FlexStyle has been slashed in my price in the Shark Black Friday sale Shark FlexStyle, £199.99 (was £269.99) BUY HERE Air hair tools have taken the beauty world by storm in recent years - with Dyson and Shark sitting in the top spots for the best-loved gadgets. Shark's FlexStyle Air Styler features the same air technology that styles without causing extreme heat damage, and beauty fans can shop it for less. The hair tool has just had a further reduction in the Shark Black Friday sale , so shoppers can currently pick it up for £199.99 - reaching its lowest price to date. Advertisement I’ve owned the Shark FlexStyle for almost a year - and the hair care gadget has become an essential in my routine. Anyone that regularly styles their hair will agree that minimising heat is always preferable - so I was keen to try a tool that focuses on preventing damage. Shoppers are able to build their own FlexStyle when purchasing, by choosing four attachments from the eight options available. 3 The FlexStyle twists at a right angle to transform into a hairdryer Advertisement There are three paddle brushes to choose from, two sets of hair barrels, a diffuser, a styling concentrator, a fine tooth comb and a new fizzfighter tool. Most read in Fashion and Beauty Review CELEB-APPROVED Elemis Cleansing Balm Review: Molly Mae Hague's cleanser is slashed to £37 Hot Deals Bronze bo(n)di ‘Amazing value for money’ say shoppers as Boots slashes tanning set to £50 I would recommend basing your attachment choices around your hair type - but my personal favourites are the styling concentrator for drying my hair, along with the 32mm barrels for creating curls and bouncy blow-outs. My favourite feature of the FlexStyle, which is unique to other similar tools, is that it twists at a right angle to transform into a hairdryer. The new Frizzfighter Finishing Tool is also at the top of my wishlist, as it works to smooth out flyaways to create a sleek finish. Advertisement Not only is the attachment a great addition for creating straight styles, but those with naturally wavy hair will be able to smooth out frizz from the root when blowdrying. The beauty of the FlexStyle is that it can be used in multiple ways, but my go-to routine consists of blowdrying my hair until it’s only slightly damp using the styling concentrator attachment, then following with the barrel heads. 3 Beauty fans can choose four attachments to go with their styler Perfecting the use of the barrels took some time, as unlike curling tongs, the styler needs to attach itself to the hair to create a curl. Advertisement I grab a small piece of hair and allow it to wrap around the barrel, holding it in place for around 10 seconds. The cold shot function is great for increasing the hold of the curl in place without adding any extra heat, so I like to blast the cold heat for a further 10 seconds. I have long hair, and the efficiency of the FlexStyle has definitely decreased my styling time. 3 The Shark FlexStyle is an essential in my styling routine Advertisement I find it’s great for creating voluminous blow-out looks that last all day, but my con is that it does make a lot of noise when it's switched on.
