Petroleum Industry Act 2021

The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021 is Nigeria's comprehensive legal framework for the regulation, governance, and commercial operation of the petroleum industry. It introduced far-reaching reforms by restructuring the governance of the oil and gas sector, establishing new regulatory institutions, redefining fiscal arrangements, and creating a more commercially driven framework for petroleum operations.

The Act regulates upstream, midstream, and downstream petroleum activities, including licensing, host community development, environmental obligations, gas development, fiscal provisions, petroleum administration, and the powers of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) and the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA). It serves as the cornerstone of Nigeria's modern petroleum regulatory regime.
