| Summary: | The rising cost of production, risk, environmental concerns and desire to perform,
made oil and gas companies adoptedoperational excellence strategy to remedy the
situation. In recent time, incidences on safety and health, the cost of exploration, and
ageing facility risks in the Nigerian oil and gas industry are rising. The situation if not
checked could lead to a continued decline in oil production,
revenue,economicperformance and the aspiration of the country to becoming a
regional economic force and one of the world’sbest economies will be unrealistic. It is
as a result of this development that this study investigatedthe mediating effect of
enterprise risk management implementation on the relationship between enterprise risk
management determinants and operational excellence in the Nigerian oil and gas sector.
The study employed a quantitive survey approach, where seven oil and gas companies
were chosen purposively for the research and 179 managers and engineers were
surveyed,and data were collected via a closed-ended questionnaire. SPSS 23 was used
for the preliminary data analysis,and smart PLS-SEM 3.0 was used for the final
analysis. The result showed that regulatory framework, firm characteristics, staff
capacity and information technology as independent variables had a significant
relationship with operational excellence. Enterprise risk management implementation
was found to have a significant relationship with operational excellence and also
mediates its relationship with firm characteristics and staff capacity.The study findings
substantiate the importance of enterprise risk management implementation in
operational excellence in the oil and gas sector.The outcome of the research also
indicated a theoretical contribution to the body of knowledge of enterprise risk
management implementation as well as operational excellence. It also showed
practical improvement in the operations of oil and gas sector as regards risk
management and operational excellence in the Nigerian oil and gas sector, specifically
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. |
