CHAPTER ONE
Introduction
1.1 Background Of The Study
Nigeria’s economy before independence and shortly afterward largely depended on agriculture. This is because a good number of its citizens are farmers. Intact about 70% of the Nigerian populace then were basically farmers and this goes a long way to show that Nigerians are poor people. Agriculture then was her only source of foreign exchange through the sale of cash corps.
Shortly after independence and the civil war, Nigeria economy changed as a result of oil boom in the early 705. This caused the total neglect of is agricultural sector and other mineral resources which are blessed with, the boom attracted foreign investors in so many sectors, they includes, bank, insurance companies and oil producing companies etc. Among the early oil producing companies to exploit its shores of Nigeria include British Petroleum Company, Uni Petrol etc.
Petroleum is a product of crude oil which is found a black substance naturally underground.
The oil industry is an important aspect in the monetization process and industrial growth of all nations which serves as source of energy to most of the modern power generators and machineries.
Petroleum is also serves as sources of revenue and also contributing to the national output. But due to the fact that our country’s economy depends largely on oil and it’s by product based on chemicals derived from oil sector and natural gas. It is invariably pertinent that one should consider the risk involved and the types that the petroleum industry as a whole are exposed.
One should be thinking of the ways to reduce the risk involved both in the offshore and onshore operations. Insurance cover is an appropriate way of handling and reducing those risk exposures that the oil companies experience. The insurance companies have now the capacity to cover most of the risks being envisaged by the petroleum industry.
Insurance covers losses or destruction of properties, equipment and machineries. Insurance also essentially pays claims on fire out break, theft, oil spillage etc. or temporal disability and medical expense of the employee, or damage to their parties’ properties and make good any court judgment arising out of their general negligence of any sort.
Insurance most important function is the indemnifying of oil industry in any loss. It prevents the industry form being handicapped financially after any loss or to stop production.
1.2 Statement Of The Problems
The major problems that prompted the research of this work include the following:
Poor government control and monitoring of the business activities of oil and gas industry
Failure of the petroleum industry to understand the potential contribution of insurance business to wards effective and efficient risk management
Lack of awareness of high level of risk exposure to oil and gas sector especially that of offshore.
1.3 Objective Of The Study
The objective of the study includes the following:
- To examine the potential contribution of insurance industry towards risk improvement and loss prevention/ reduction in oil and gas industry
- To evaluate the problem facing Nigeria insurance industry in the management of risk expose to oil and gas sector
- To evaluate the performance of Nigerian insurance industry in oil and gas sector
- To assess the attendant risk in oil industry with a view to assessing the oil for available insurance cover.
1.4 Research Questions
- Are their any problem/ challenges facing insurance industry in management of risk exposed to oil and gas sector?
- Is the insurance protection provided by Nigerian insurance industry adequate to enhance the business activities of oil and gas sector?
- Does insurance industry render any service to the oil and gas sector?
- Is insurance a tool for risk improvement and loss stabilization in oil and gas sector?
- Is Nigerian insurance industry capable of underwriting oil and gas risk?
1.5 Significance Of The Study
The research work will be relevant to the following:
Oil and gas sector: The study will be of immense significance to oil industry because it x-rays the various products need and importance of insurance in oil and gas sector.
The study will be useful for academic purposes and it will serve as a data base for students carrying out further research on the related topic in future.
Insurance industry: The study will also be useful to insurance industry in the sense that it would help them to improve in the service they render to oil and gas sector and the economy at large.
The study also serves as a source of revenue to the Nigeria economy.
1.6 Scope And Limitation Of The Study
The scope of this research work is limited to some selected oil companies like NNPC in Porthacourt, Oil Shell Company and Mobile Petroleum Company in Porthacourt. Therefore the information gathered will be used as inference to the oil companies and other insurance in Nigeria.
Limitation
The following are factors that limited the study of this research work.
Time: The time fame for this project work was too short as other academic work almost cut in time of investigation and data collection.
The unco-operative attitude of some respondents who see this research work as such that it will pose threat to their work and position and this posed a limitation of this research work. Lack of research materials because of inadequate research material also contributed to the limitation of this research work. Lack of funds prevent the author from traveling to places to source for research materials.
