NNPCL and NLNG Strengthen Collaboration on Gas Infrastructure
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and Nigeria LNG are discussing comprehensive strategies to address investment in the gas sector, focusing on stabilizing gas supply, de-risking critical infrastructure, and unlocking upstream investments. The collaboration aims to strengthen Nigeria’s position in the global energy marketplace.
During a visit by NNPCL Group Chief Executive Officer Engr. Bayo Ojulari to the Rivers State-based gas company, NLNG Managing Director Philip Mshelbila emphasized the urgent need for deliberate investment in the gas sector. He highlighted the importance of synergy in delivering national energy goals and described NNPCL as a dependable shareholder committed to NLNG’s development.
Mshelbila stressed that these efforts would be essential to sustaining growth momentum, deepening value delivery, and exploring future opportunities. He noted that NLNG would be better positioned to deliver consistent gas output, strengthen investor confidence, and enhance Nigeria’s competitiveness globally.
Ojulari reaffirmed NLNG’s pivotal role in driving Nigeria’s energy transition, economic stability, and industrial growth, describing the company as “a beacon of governance, performance, transparency, and sustainability” in the country’s energy sector. He highlighted plans for a dynamic Gas Master Plan and exploring opportunities for hydrogen collaborations with NLNG in preparation for a net-zero future.
During the visit, Ojulari toured key operational areas, including the main plant complex and the construction site for Train 7, a flagship expansion project set to significantly increase NLNG’s production capacity.
