Insights on Factors Influencing LPG Prices In Nigeria

The following are some of the factors influencing the prices of LPG, most especially in Nigeria

International Price Index: The global price of LPG, often influenced by factors like international demand and supply, plays a significant role in determining domestic LPG prices. Fluctuations in the international market can directly affect what consumers pay locally.

Naira-Dollar Exchange Rate: The exchange rate between the Nigerian Naira and the U.S. Dollar is a crucial determinant of LPG prices. Since LPG may be subject to international transactions, any shifts in the exchange rate can impact its cost within the country.

Local Production vs. Imports: The balance between locally produced LPG and imported supplies is vital. Local production can help stabilize prices, while heavy reliance on imports can make LPG prices more susceptible to global market changes.

Supply and Demand: Just like any other commodity, the basic economics of supply and demand are at play. When demand for LPG surpasses its supply, prices tend to rise. Conversely, when supply outstrips demand, prices may decrease.

Geopolitical and Natural Events: Geopolitical factors such as conflicts and natural events like hurricanes, which can disrupt the production and transportation of LPG, can result in sudden price fluctuations.

Size and Scale Factor: The scale of LPG production and distribution operations in a region can affect prices. Large-scale operations often benefit from economies of scale, which can help keep prices competitive.

The Nexus Between Mobile Phone and Cooking Gas Explosion.

Most frequent question people normally ask cooking gas dealer is whether making or receiving of call could cause gas explosion. The answer is yes and no.

For there to be gas explosion ignition is required, if there is no ignition there can't be explosion. Without gas leakage a gas cylinder cannot explode.

It is pragmatically unlikely for your gas cylinder to explode by mere nearing your mobile phone where it is been used.

There are many factors that can lead to gas explosion and the most likely ones are storing your cylinder in an extremely high temperature, slightest arc of electricity and any device that generate littlest amount of spark (electric socket, electric switch, spark from rubbing metals...), these can cause explosion if leaked gas has already fill up the enclose room, but if there is no leakage of gas, it is unlikely for gas explosion to happen

It is pertinent to know that for there to be gas explosion there must be gas leakage and if there is gas leakage, most expecially in an air-tight room, it just a matter of a little spark before the entire place will explode because the leaked gas must have occupied the entire room.

There is no experiment to prove that mobile phone can cause gas explosion and the reason people advise not go near cooking gas with phone is that, your mobile phone is an electronic device possibly capable of generating radiation and electric spark which may ignite already concentrated leaked-gas in a confine room. And the contact of the phone battery panel if fall may cause or generate spark that may possibly leads to explosion.

What you should worry more about is other electrical appliances in your kitchen which may generate spark such as socket, switch...

The most important thing to note and cautious about is to ensure your cylinder is not leaking and must be kept in a ventilated room.

WHY IS THERE CONTINUOUS INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF COOKING GAS (LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS)?

Government and many organizations have over years embarked on a crusade against indiscriminate hewing of trees for cooking and encourage people, most especially those living in urban fringe and villages where it is more easier to get access to this forest product. Relatively, cooking gas otherwise known as Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) was suggested as a more ecological friendly means of cooking and comparatively seems to pose least threat as supposed by the protagonists of climate change.
At first, people were very skeptical of using the product due to its obvious hazardious nature and a complete deviation from traditional means of cooking. As sensitization gain momentum and people are more aware of the precautionary measure and maintenance of the product, and due to technological advancement. Cooking gas due to it relatively conveninent and time saving gain more prominence in almost every households.

Hence, people having become accustomed to using cooking gas, the prices, most especially for the past two years have started skyrocketing. Oasis LPG Enterprises have decided to shed more light on the reasons for this sorry-to-say new normal;
-the government have included cooking gas among so many products upon which Value Added Tax (VAT) is levied. Also, government has also introduced custom duty on the imported products, this has consequently led to the increase in the total overhead cost of importing cooking gas.

-you should know that 65% of our cooking gas is imported while 35% is locally sourced. Be that at it may the cost of importing LPG is unprecedentedly skyrocketing. Also the prices of the local lpg is traded on a similar international scale as imported cooking gas. Couple with the fact that the retailing plant doesn't have direct access to local gas, as it has to go through middlemen which eventually equate the price with that of the imported product.

Your Safety First

Liquify Petroleum Gas otherwise known as cooking gas is chemically odourless. The pungent odour you perceive when in the refilling outlets is deliberately added to the gas as a precautionary measure.

Hence, whenever you perceive this odour most especially in your kitchen or its surrounding, it simply means there is gas leakage somewhere. The following are what you had need to do;

1. First, open the kitchen windows to allow cross ventilation.

2. In the case of cylinder that is connected to the table/standing gas cooker, you'd need to remove/disconnect the regulator from the gas top.
3. Pour handful of detergent inside water, shake vigorously to make a foam rub the foam on the holes and point of connection of the hole to the cylinder, with that you can easily detect where the gas is leaking from. To do this the gas must be on.
4. If you notice any abnormal performance in your cooking gas, quickly call on/take it to the expert for proper repair.
