Legal Update: New Regulations in Oil & Gas

Published on October 15, 2023

The Nigerian oil and gas sector has seen significant regulatory changes aimed at improving transparency and sustainability. These new regulations focus on environmental compliance, community engagement, and operational efficiency. At Excellence Solicitors, we help our clients navigate these changes to ensure compliance and minimize risks.

One of the key updates is the revised Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which introduces stricter environmental standards and requires companies to engage more closely with local communities. This includes mandatory environmental impact assessments and community development programs.

Additionally, there are new guidelines on licensing and operational permits, designed to streamline processes while ensuring accountability. Our team provides expert advice on interpreting these regulations and implementing best practices to avoid penalties and legal disputes.

For businesses operating in this sector, staying ahead of regulatory changes is crucial. Contact Excellence Solicitors for tailored legal support in oil and gas law.
