NNPC’s LNG business
NNPC has a 49 percent stake in Nigeria LNG, the operator of the six-train 22 mtpa facility on Bonny Island.
Besides NNPC, other partners are Shell (25.6 percent), TotalEnergies (15 percent), and Eni (10.4 percent).
Nigeria LNG is also adding the seventh production unit at the Bonny Island plant.
The NLNG Train 7 project consists of the construction of one complete LNG train and one additional liquefaction unit. The project also includes other associated utilities and infrastructures.
The new unit will add around 8 mtpa of capacity to the Bonny Island facility for a total of about 30 mtpa.
Last year, NNPC said it was also in talks with investors to revive two LNG export projects, Brass and Olokola.
In addition to onshore projects, NNPC is also working on FLNG projects.
NNPC and Golar LNG are working on a floating LNG project offshore Nigeria’s Niger Delta, while NNPC also has a 20 percent stake in UTM Offshore, which is developing Nigeria’s first FLNG project.
