Pipeline Power Play: NNPC Unleashes 300 Million Cubic Feet Gas Beast After Years of Delays
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has inaugurated a 113-kilometer portion of the Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben gas pipeline project, which is currently transporting around 300 million standard cubic feet per day.
According to NNPC’s latest monthly report, the gas is sourced from Ashtavinayak Hydrocarbon Ltd (250 mmscf/d) and Platform, Chorus, and Xenergi Group (50 mmscf/d). The project had previously missed several completion deadlines set by government officials.
In related developments, NNPC announced that additional subcontractors have been deployed to expedite completion of mainline works on the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline project. The $2.8 billion AKK pipeline crossed the River Niger in June after years of setbacks due to difficult terrain, with mechanical completion expected by the end of 2025.
The AKK gas pipeline project is expected to revive industries in northern Nigeria once completed, according to NNPC Group CEO Bayo Ojulari.
