The goal of this thread is to try to collate information on Nigeria’s LNG sector. I find it disheartening that we produce about 10% of the world’s LNG consumption but consume little to no LNG locally. Natural gas can be used for almost anything that requires fuel (petrol, diesel, or kerosene).

I’m hoping that people with insider knowledge can shed more light on the issues/challenges/opportunities within the industry.

Can you shed more light on the following or any other relevant topic?
[list]
[li]Enabling Law - is the sector deregulated[/li]
[li]Exploration – are the licenses different from oil exploration?[/li]
[li]Extraction - do we actively drill for gas or we only collect the gas associated with drilling for oil?[/li]
[li]Production – Nigeria LNG primarily operates to produce and export LNG and NGL and there are 6 liquefaction plants. How are they getting the raw natural gas from the wells?[/li]
[li]Transportation – Bonny Gas Transport provides shipping for Nigeria LNG but how’s the product getting to them? Are there interstate and intrastate pipes?[/li]
[li]Storage[/li]
[li]Distribution – this is the big one and I doubt that a network exists.[/li]
[li]Marketing[/li]

Tehnically LNG is liquefied for easy transportation. What your question should be asking is the use of compressed natural gas (CNG) which is being promoted and would be enhanced dramatically if the PIB is enacted into law.

Oando is being quite prudent in early participation in this sector of the downstream petroleum industry. A few other companies including NGC are currently laying pipelines which would be the primary and safest method of distribution to the market.

actually involved in an LPG processing plant project (DED) in 9ja, at the moment, feasibility studies must have been carried out by the client- and the relevant indicators coming up positive for it to have ventured into it . Gas Processing is an emerging market and d potential for local consumption is enormous.
