The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) says it has concluded arrangements to issue award letters to successful investors in the 2020 marginal field bid round programme.
The DPR said the letters would be issued at an award ceremony scheduled to hold in Abuja on May 31.
Mr Paul Osu, Head, Public Affairs, DPR, made the announcement in a statement on Saturday in Lagos.
A marginal field is any field that has reserves booked and reported annually to the DPR and has remained unproduced for a period of over 10 years.
Osu said the successful investors who would be receiving their award letters were companies that had fully satisfied all requirements listed in the marginal field bid round guidelines.
He said this included full payment of signature bonuses within the specified time frame.
Osu said the DPR would continue to provide transparent regulatory oversight for the oil and gas industry to enable business and create opportunities for investors.
NAN recalls that over 600 companies had applied to be pre-qualified for the bid rounds which began on June 1, 2020.
The DPR said the objective was to deepen indigenous participation in the oil and gas industry as well as add to the country’s production and reserve.
According to the regulatory agency, the marginal field bid round programme is also geared to provide technical and financial partnerships for investors.

On May 28, 2021 in Paris, during an Ordinary and Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting, shareholders approved almost unanimously, the resolution to change the company’s name from Total to TotalEnergies, thereby anchoring its strategic transformation into a broad energy company in its identity. In tandem with this name change, TotalEnergies is adopting a new visual identity.
“Energy is life. We all need it and it’s a source of progress. So today, to contribute to the sustainable development of the planet facing the climate challenge, we are moving forward, together, towards new energies. Energy is reinventing itself, and this energy journey is ours.
“Our ambition is to be a world-class player in the energy transition. That is why Total is transforming and becoming TotalEnergies,” declared Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies.
This new name and new visual identity embody the course TotalEnergies has resolutely charted for itself: that of a broad energy company committed to producing and providing energies that are ever more affordable, reliable and clean.
