KEY POINTS
- NLNG is supplying all its cooking gas to the Nigerian market to meet growing local demand.
- The Train 7 project will raise production capacity by about 35 per cent from next year.
- Regulators are introducing reforms to support investment and drive Nigeria’s gas expansion plans.
Nigeria LNG Limited, NLNG, says it is supplying 100 per cent of its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), also known as cooking gas, to the Nigerian market. The company explained that this decision is driven by rising demand within the country, not a drop in production.
NLNG’s Managing Director, Adeleye Falade, disclosed that the upcoming Train 7 project, expected to begin operations next year, will increase the company’s production capacity by about 35 per cent.
This expansion is aimed at strengthening domestic supply while also supporting exports.
Regulator Pushes Business-Friendly Reforms
The Chief Executive of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Oritsemeyewa Eyesan, welcomed NLNG’s efforts and reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to creating a more business-friendly environment. She highlighted ongoing reforms aligned with the Petroleum Industry Act and noted that regular stakeholder meetings are helping resolve issues and boost investor confidence.
Eyesan described Nigeria’s “Decade of Gas” initiative as a practical strategy to grow both local gas use and exports. She urged industry players to match government reforms with strong performance, compliance, and disciplined investment.
