Nigeria’s LNG Dominance, Infrastructure Readiness, and Gas Monetisation Pathways

Summary

Nigeria’s LNG dominance is rooted in its vast natural gas reserves over 215 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven reserves and the infrastructure that enables large-scale monetisation. The country’s LNG industry is anchored by Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG), which operates six trains with a combined capacity of 22 million tonnes per annum (MTPA). The ongoing Train 7 expansion, valued at over $5 billion and now more than 90% complete, will increase capacity to 30 MTPA, cementing Nigeria’s role as Africa’s leading LNG exporter.
