Primary focus
Gas markets, regulation and strategic infrastructure.
Nigeria is transitioning into a gas-driven economy, with significant investment flowing into domestic gas utilisation, infrastructure and export corridors.
Its success depends on policy, commercial rules, finance and infrastructure operating as one coherent system. Osprey works across all four.
Flagship expertise
The Nigerian Gas Transportation Network Code
The foundational framework governing open, transparent and efficient access to Nigeria's gas transportation network — conceptualised under the leadership of Dr David Winn, who foresaw Nigeria's transition to a gas-powered economy as early as 2010.
Osprey led the development, training and implementation framework for the Nigerian Gas Transportation Network Code (NGTNC), and remains its custodian. The work brought together market architecture, regulation, commercial structure and practical adoption by institutions and market participants.
