Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commissioned three growth initiatives for pure fuel processing crops and a fuel pipeline executed by Nigerian Nationwide Petroleum Co. Ltd. (NNPC) and its companions, the nationwide oil and fuel firm stated.
“It’s pleasing that roughly, 500 million commonplace cubic ft of fuel in mixture can be provided to the home market from these two Fuel Processing Crops, which represents over 25 p.c incremental development in fuel provide”, the president stated, as quoted by an NNPC press launch. “In sensible phrases, this interprets into extra fuel to the Energy Sector, Fuel-Based mostly Industries and different essential segments of the financial system”.
One of many two fuel processing initiatives now commissioned, the Ashtavinayak Hydrocarbon Ltd. (AHL) plant in Kwale, Delta, can course of 125 MMcfpd of fuel and produce 600,000 tons per day of liquid hydrocarbons resembling liquefied petroleum fuel (LPG) and propane in line with AHL. AHL sources fuel from NNPC fields within the state.

The opposite processing plant, developed by ANOH Fuel Processing Co. Ltd. in Imo State, has a deliberate processing capability of 600 MMcfpd, to be achieved in two phases. The fuel is processed into dry fuel, LPG and condensate, in line with ANOH. The plant is provided by a unitized fuel growth combining leases owned by Seplat Power PLC and Shell Petroleum Improvement Firm of Nigeria Ltd., in line with ANOH.
In the meantime the ANOH Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben Custody Switch Metering Station Fuel Pipeline Initiatives stretch 23.3 kilometers (14.5 miles), in line with NNPC.
“I want to guarantee the citizenry that these are only the start, because the federal authorities is stepping up its coordination of different landmark initiatives and initiatives that may make sure the earliest realization of fuel fueled prosperity in our nation”, Tinubu stated.

Pure fuel manufacturing in Nigeria has grown 0.3 p.c yearly within the decade to 2022, with output that yr standing at 40.4 billion cubic meters (1.4 trillion cubic ft), in line with the most recent Statistical Overview of World Power, a yearly report beforehand revealed by BP PLC however transferred to the London-based Power Institute beginning with the 2023 version.
Nigeria’s LNG sector marked a breakthrough final December with the signing of an settlement by NNPC, native power engineering firm UTM Offshore Ltd. and the Delta authorities for the development of a floating liquefied pure fuel (FLNG) plant. The venture, the primary Nigerian FLNG plant in line with developer UTM, has a deliberate capability of 1.81 (MMtpa) to 2.72 MMtpa.
Related and non-associated fuel reserves within the West African nation stood at 209.26 Tcf as of the beginning of 2024, in line with a report by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Fee April 16, 2024.
