Comparative Review of Energy, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas for Exchange Markets in Nigeria, India and Bangladesh

Abstract

In 2021, there was a global energy crisis that affected different parts of the world. In most countries, energy heavily relies on natural gas, including Nigeria, India, and Bangladesh. Several studies have explored the differences in the energy of crude oil and natural gas. Nonetheless, little effort has been made toward exploring the exportation of energy for exchange markets in Nigeria, India, and Bangladesh. This paper primarily aims at comparatively exploring the energy of crude oil and natural gas for exchange markets in the aforementioned countries. The methodology used in this paper is qualitative content analysis (QCA) and a systematical literature review (SLR) which includes various sources such as journals, the core collection of the Web of Science (WOS), oil peer review resources, and library sources. The study systematically mapped out different bibliographic materials whereby the visualization of similarities (VOS) was used to explore exchange markets for energy, crude oil, and gas in Nigeria, India, and Bangladesh. The results of the analysis indicated that, in Africa, Nigeria is regarded as the largest producer of natural gas and crude oil, with an approximation of 1.2 million barrels per day. Concerning oil and gas reserves, the country is considered the 10th and 8th largest producer in the world, having 37 billion barrels and roughly 206 trillion cubic feet, respectively. Thus, the exportation of energy is considered a central pillar of the country’s economy. In addition, India is regarded as the second largest producer of crude oil with 4.972 million barrels per day, which is approximately 5.1% of the entire world’s capacity for refining crude oil. Similarly, at the global level, India is considered the topmost consumer of crude oil, accounting for 4.8% of the world’s consumption. In the context of Bangladesh, their gas reserves account for 39.4 trillion cubic feet, and they are considered to be 70% of the commercial energy supply in the country. In conclusion, the importance of energy, crude oil, and natural gas cannot be underestimated, specifically, for the exchange import markets in the current context of the aforementioned countries. It is, therefore, suggested that the governments of Nigeria, India, and Bangladesh should strengthen their national policies on energy in order to be responsive to the global energy crisis as well as boost the exchange market in the energy sector.

Islamic Financial Surplus for Energy and Gas Investment: Towards Financial Inclusion for Improving Living Condition of Needy and Poor in Nigeria

“…The study used a theoretical framework to establish the significance of the Islamic financial surplus. Essentially, different aspects covered in the theoretical basis of the study were: Islamic economic system (IES), Socio-economic justice (SEJ), Islamic wealth distribution (IWD), and Islamic financial surplus (IFS), power and gas sector (PGS) and Islamic financial inclusion (IFI) (Saqib, 2018;Aigba et al, 2022;Amuda, 2023). Relevant data obtained from secondary sources elaborated the importance of power and gas investments in the context of Nigeria.…”

The Development of Renewable Energy in Mineral Resource Clusters—The Case of the Siberian Federal District

“…The market approach is of interest, linking the development of renewable energy with the response to crises in the global hydrocarbon market (both endogenous and exogenous), associated with the construction of a more sustainable energy system, independent of market fluctuations [5,6]. The positive environmental effect here is seen rather as a spillover in relation to investments in renewable energy [7,8].…”

Advances in All-Solid-State Lithium–Sulfur Batteries for Commercialization

“…The swift progression of industry and the growing affluence contemporary civilization undercores the immense significance of establishing a sustainable and environmentally friendly economy. Despite the current consensus on low-carbon green growth, fossil fuels, including coal, oil, and natural gas, constituted over 80% of the global energy provision in 2021 [ 1 ]. The present condition and potential outcomes projected by the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggest that conventional sources of energy will persist in impacting the world’s energy system, while the proportion of renewable energy sources will gradually increase [ 2 ].…”
