CONFIDEN TIAL DRAFT The Task Force identified the following specific challenges with the metering and measurement regime: •
Dependence on manual data gathering processes
•
Low level infrastructure at remote locations
•
Lack of regular and systemic well testing
•
Inadequate data and IT infrastructure among industry players
•
Inadequate MIS reporting and dashboard capabilities in existing systems
•
Disparate systems with differing data, nomenclature among operators
•
Diverse data requirements from Government agencies
•
Multiple and strong stakeholders with divergent interests
The Task Force also found inconsistent oil and gas data across the petroleum industry. These inconsistencies in information were sighted across the major agencies and parastatals of the MPR as well as with the oil and gas operators themselves.
