It should position as branchless, fully-mobile and use existing network as distribution channel. Its designed services are superior to the competition and this would engender loyalty of its customers – translating into profits.
Societie Raffineur Case
Société Raffineur, a French company that buys nickel ores from variety of mines and process into three grades of pure nickel, was grappling with its complex raw material and production scheduling problem. The old foreman that who responsibilities included planning of the schedule had unfortunately passed away and his successor had been incapable of successfully dealing with this problem, which resulted in a loss of $1 m in July due to the purchase of extra electricity at higher prices. The ...
Cooper Industries Inc. Case
Cooper Industries Inc., a company with considerable financial strength and solid management, has a strong record of acquiring companies in a friendly takeover way, aiming at: expanding its portfolio into new markets, gaining the know-how in high quality product lines and making synergies that would lead to economies of scale.

Eagle Airlines Case
The scope of this report is to provide advisory content to Eagle Airlines regarding the profitability of investment in a new aircraft, Piper Chieftain, as well as general recommendations on the profitability of operations. For the purposes of the analysis, several methods were employed in order to evaluate how changes in uncertain input parameters affect profitability: case scenarios, one-way sensitivity analysis, two-way sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo simulations. Sensitivity analysis ...
Oil Price – Inflation Nexus: A Case Study of South Africa and Nigeria
The goal of this research is to examine the impact of oil price on inflation rates in South Africa and Nigeria- thereby comparing inflation nexus between oil rich and non-oil rich African nations. To accomplish this task the authors have utilized yearly oil price and inflation data from the period of 1987 – 2016 (source: World Bank), thus providing 30 data observations. An ARDL modeling approach has been deemed most appropriate in this analysis due to limited sample data. Our result reveale...
Strategies for Field Development in a Low Oil Price Environment
In low oil price regimes, oil and gas companies explores several options to remain profitable in the short run. The traditional response has been to shelf all projects until the price of oil rebound or carryout workover operations, but this might not be the best option for these companies. This study discussed how Shell Petroleum Development Company significantly reduced the cost of its workover operations using effective planning and project management. This study then showed how the GE/McKi...
The Challenges to Sustainable Development in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry
The goals of this research are to determine how the Nigeria oil and gas industry has impacted the actualization of the sustainable development goals and how the Nigeria oil and gas industry overcome its present challenges to achieve sustainability. This paper found out that Nigeria oil and gas industry has not significantly contributed to the actualization of the sustainable development goals and Nigeria is at danger of not meeting the 2030 deadline for their actualization. In fact, the oil a...
Energy for the Future: The Renewable or LNG?
The goal of this paper is to determine the most suitable source of energy for the future between the Renewables and LNG. The paper found that the Renewables are the fastest growing energy source, followed by gas; and transporting gas as LNG is the fastest growing method of transporting gas. Furthermore, the paper found out that for large-scale deployment of the renewables, energy storage is vital, but the cost of storage is high, the material for storage are non-renewable, and there are geopo...
A Review of the State of Electricity Generation in Nigeria from 2007 to 2015
Successive governments in Nigeria have shown commitment to improving the availability of electricity in Nigeria, with the formulation of several regulations and policies. Several projects to increase the generation capacity has been implemented, and some completed, but the transmission and distribution capacities have not grown pari passu. The electricity generation capacity, in 2014, has increased in steps from its values in 2007; although, more still needs to be done for Nigeria to genera...
Influence of Composition on the Thermophysical Properties of LNG
The saturated liquid density deviations were compared using the PR, RSK (Advanced), AGA8, and GERG2008 EoSes. The bubble pressure deviations, saturated liquid densities, isobaric specific heat capacities, and enthalpy of vaporization were compared using the PR, RSK (Advanced) and GERG2008 EoSes. The GERG2008 EoS was used to analyse the effect of nitrogen and heavy alkanes on the thermophysical properties of LNG mixtures. Experimental density data was used to compare the accuracy of the Revi...
Rural Electrification: Off-grid experience in the Niger Delta
The data for rural electrification projects, on-grid connectivity, population and others, was collected from the relevant papers and websites. The data was analysed graphically or statistically and the findings were discussed. The Niger Delta states have more generating, transmission and distribution facilities than in most other parts of Nigeria but these facilities are disproportionally distributed. Edo and Delta states have good electricity access, while Cross River and Bayelsa have th...
A Review of Oil and Gas Companies Compliance to Environmental Regulations in Nigeria
The goal of this research is to examine to what extent oil and gas companies operating in Nigeria had been compliant with environmental regulations and laws governing their operations. The projects executed by these companies that had significantly reduced environmental pollutions and how these companies responded to environmental related issues were discussed. The Oil and Gas companies discussed in this work have been relatively compliant, but stronger commitment and cooperation is need...
