Weve not used the gas to power our own country we are looking for how to buld pipeline to send it to West Africa and Europe.

These guys are literally brain frozen! How we end up with these kinds of leaders is still a mystery

Doctuur:
Gas supply to Nigeria is not yet satisfy. You signed to supply Morocco again Baba!

nabegibeg:
Nigeria in big mess under these idiots

Neimar:
omo ftc dy elude me back to back

m going to hit it

richeeyo:
The west African gas line output is not regular, you de go morroco, signing is the most easiest part of a contract

you need brain transplant.

Some people just take it as a personal duty to oppose any and everything the government does simply because they dearly hate the people heading the government.

Nigeria has excess gas which is being burnt off daily though gas flaring in the delta region because we do not have the means to either utilise or sell the gas. Any initiative or venture which can help Nigeria reduce/eliminate gas flaring and gain income from the wasted gas is a very welcomed development.

Every initiative shouldnt be a platform for playing politics.

obibolamusa:
please, we are not flaring gas cos there is no means to sell them.

We flare gas cos we refuse to review our gas emission laws and bring in technologies.

Oil companies pay for any volume of gas flared but its very tiny compared to harm caused and the fund for re-injection.

The oil companies are ever ready to play their part, with the way naija is broke now, stopping gas flaring is still far.

plus, do you know how many such projects that have been started and left half way?

This is a wrong move in the wrong direction.

Talk to me about singning contracts to bring in technology that will eliminate gas flaring.

But why are they looking at the guys signing the documents like that? And who is that small boy by the right, huh?

Anyways, nice one PMB. Just hope the agreement translates to improved economy down home

Over 60% of NLG is being flared (release to air), so we have abundant, what we need is price cut

Please educate them more. Most youths have big phones all to struggle for FTC and book on bet9ja. They will never learn; yet they spew their Ignorance with audacity whenever they deem fit.

obailala:
Huh?! Nigeria burns away billions of dollars yearly through flaring of useful natural gas but you actually think the reason is because of an inability to review some petty laws or lack of technology?... Wow!.. That's a very erroneous assertion!

Are you aware that natural gas is far far cheaper than diesel to run power generating plants?... There are thousands of industries scattered around Nigeria running on diesel and which could have their production costs cut down by over 50% if they had access to that gas being burnt away in the delta region. But it is one thing to have excess gas in the oil production fields and it is another thing to get that gas to the doorsteps of consumers who need it. If I may even ask, what exactly is the "technology" you talk about which is lacking?.. Technology to make the associated gas disappear without having to be flared?

FYI, the simple reason Nigeria still flares gas is because we do not have the necessary infrastructure to utilize the gas locally or to sell the gas in the international market. By infrastructure I mean, the necessary gas distribution pipeline network to get the gas from the production fields to the door steps of industrial and domestic consumers, or trans-national export pipelines to deliver the gas to international consumers. Good thing we currently have the NLNG plant which liquefies and sells a microscopic fraction of Nigeria's gas, but in order to end flaring, Nigeria would need over 10 of NLNGs, in addition to trans-national pipelines and local distribution pipelines to get gas to industries. For all these to be fulfilled, it would cost several tens of billions of dollars; the dearth of these funds, coupled with the typical Nigerian factor (corruption and bad leadership) is the reason Nigeria still languishes with flaring.

Once again I would state it clearly that any initiative such as this which can enable Nigeria make money out of the enormous gas resources it burns away daily is a very welcomed idea. I'm not aware of the current progress of the west African gas pipeline, but if Nigeria through any kind of help whatsoever can get a gas pipeline to Morocco, then that automatically connects us to the European (gas thirsty) market. So I struggle to see how anyone can think this is a bad development, except such a person is only capable of viewing things from the angle of politics.

AZeD1:
Its actually not a bad deal. Nigeria still flares gas massively and that is a literal definition of burning money.

The problem is nobody has tried to solve the whole oil sector issue because it's a very very dark hole. Lots of people benefitting from the lack of transparency.

Chuksaluta:
It has nothing to do with gas flaring, gas flaring is more of an operational thing and not because of low gas demand.

obailala:
There isn't any need for any reduction in gas prices, gas already is far far cheaper than diesel for power generating plants even in homes and industries. What we need is the transmission and distribution infrastructure (pipelines) to get the gas to gas thirsty industrial and domestic consumers all around the country and internationally.
