The relevance of oil and gas (Energy) to the activities to humankind, as well as the significant
influence they have on the economies of both oil producing countries and oil importing countries
can never be overstressed. Oil and gas have a far reaching influence on the politics of these
countries and the world at large. The discovery of oil and gas has brought about staggering
advancement to industrial growth worldwide and has helped ease transportation at both
international and local levels. At household level, oil and gas have made life easy for mankind in
such areas as cooking, heating, provision of electricity, local mobility and many more. Thus
petroleum and its related products as sources of energy are nowhere near being replaced in the
contemporary world.
In the past 3 to 5 years however, the oil and gas sector have experienced a significant shift from
just the usual “liquid” and gaseous forms of crude oil into incorporating energy. From the world’s
yearnings for a cleaner air and green energy as a climate change, advances have been made towards
shifting energy sources to other alternatives. Natural gas for instance, have significantly shifted
from being flared to being used for different purposes. Natural gas from oil wells and now liquefied
to liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and exported or sold where they are used for different purposes.
This shift and advances in technology have made big industries and oil companies get more value
from natural gas and crude in general.

importation of gasoline and other petroleum products. The company in 2023, invested a total off
