Some companies -- overwhelmed by the oil thefts, spills, and vandalism that have become commonplace in Nigeria -- have retrenched from their operations in the country, either partially or entirely. For instance, in November, French oil major Total (NYSE: TOT ) agreed to sell a 20% stake in an offshore Nigerian oil field to Chinese oil giant China Petrochemical (NYSE: SHI ) , also known as Sinopec, for roughly $2.5 billion. Shortly thereafter, in December, ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) backed out of its operations in the country, selling its Nigeria unit to Toronto-listed Oando Energy Resources for about $1.79 billion in cash. �

Yet InterOil faces substantial challenges. Because Papua New Guinea has little existing energy infrastructure, the company will have to spend money to boost production, build a transportation network to get gas to an export terminal, and then create a facility to convert the dry gas into transportable liquefied natural gas. That last step holds plenty of risk, as ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) has had to spend substantially more than it originally anticipated on a similar LNG facility in Papua New Guinea. Meanwhile, ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) has a similar project near its extensive gas assets in western Australia and has seen similarly large cost overruns that have added billions to the cost of the projects.

To put this growth in perspective, ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP ) , a more diversified global oil and gas producer, expects to grow its oil and gas production by just 3%-5% over this same timeframe. However, 60% of its projected production growth will come from its U.S. onshore assets. The growth is truly remarkable, as the company expects to grow its Eagle Ford production by 130,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, or 16% annually, while growing Bakken production by 45,000 BOE/d ,or 18% annually. And last but not least, the company sees its Permian Basin production growing by 40,000 BOE/d, or 7% annually. Clearly, the U.S. is one of the key growth drivers for ConocoPhillips over the next few years.
