Summary

As part of a continuous effort to increase and improve its pool of freelance translators, the Editorial Services program of the Communications Division welcomes the résumés of highly qualified translators to collaborate on translation projects covering various languages: Spanish and French principally, but also German, Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese, amongst others.

Because IFPRI disseminates its translated work to key audiences worldwide with a view to increasing its impact on food policies and the fight against hunger, it is crucial that our publications meet very high quality standards.

Natural Gas Power Expert - Power Africa Transactions & Reforms Program (PATRP) - Abuja, Nigeria

Telecommuter

About the Job

Nexant, Inc.—a US Government services contractor--seeks a Natural Gas Power Expert to serve as a long-term resident in Abuja, Nigeria for the Power Africa Transactions & Reforms Program (PATRP), the contractor enabling partner for the US Government’s Power Africa Initiative in sub-Saharan Africa. This $64 million, 5 year technical assistance project is designed to bring more electricity to sub-Saharan African via a deal / transaction-centered approach. The Power Africa initiative seeks to shift the typical international development paradigm to a transaction‐centered approach that provides host country governments in sub-Saharan Africa, the private sector, and international donor agencies with a focal point to galvanize collaboration around priority electricity generation, transmission, and distribution transactions--with a focus on those that involve private sector participation and finance--helping to bring them to financial close and on‐line in an expedited time frame.

Nigeria is a priority country for Power Africa. Natural gas supplies the fuel for most of Nigeria’s power generating capacity and thus is a very important part of that country’s energy mix. While seemingly abundant supplies of natural gas exist in the country, its lack of gas gathering, processing, and transportation infrastructure has severely hampered the county’s ability to capitalize on this important power generation fuel source. Second only to Russia, Nigeria ranks next for unnecessarily flaring associated gas, a byproduct of the country’s significant oil production. The country needs to formulate a comprehensive framework to create a realistic, credible, and clearly defined long-term strategy to recover and monetize flared gas and use it to supply gas-fired power plants to generate electricity for the country. But the lack of gas transmission infrastructure causes many of the power plants to operate at low utilization rates, so the Government’s generation expansion plan is challenging due to lack of the ability to transmit gas to power plants. The country’s gas and power regulatory authorities also need capacity building assistance to improve their organizational structures, policies, and procedures--including their oversight and regulatory capacity.

Duties and Responsibilities

Gas Flaring

Examination of Alternatives for Reducing Gas Flaring & Increasing Associated Gas Utilization

Examine other worldwide examples of successful gas flaring reduction and utilization programs in Russia, Oman, etc.

Examine the technical and economic feasibility of current gas flaring capture and utilization projects in Nigeria (Shell, etc.) and how expertise can be applied to other gas flaring and utilization projects
Recommend a comprehensive policy, legal, and regulatory framework—through a combination of punitive sanctions and incentives to reduce gas flaring and profitably utilize associated gas—to address associated gas flaring levels and its commercial utilization
Locations & Uses of Flared Gas

Examine and rank primary locations of flared gas activities and their suitability for end uses (quality of gas, current infrastructure, likely end uses)
Recommend improvements to and costs of additional gas infrastructure that would bring the gas on-shore (if applicable), clean and process it, and distribute it to end-users
Examine local markets and uses for the gas, including the prices that can be obtained
Identify which power plants could use the gas for the generation of electricity (methane), as well as other uses such as LPG, CPG, NGLs, fertilizers, etc.
Provide Transaction Support to Attract Private Investment

Conceptualize and structure gas capture, processing, transportation, and end use projects
Assist in raising finance from international strategic and financial investors for these projects
Advise on the bankability of the schemes proposed by local and international investors, including investors prequalification requirements and the assessment and valuation of proposals
