Excitement as NPDC Steps Up Efforts To Increase Gas Supply To Nigerian Market - THISDAYLIVE

The Federal Government has done a lot in recent times to develop the Nigerian gas market through efforts at the production and transmission levels. Thus, a key project, the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano pipeline that was flagged off by President Muhammadu Buhari a few weeks back is one of such efforts.

“Gas is now the focus. We want to see how we can grow gas utilisation in Nigeria. So you have the gas flare commercialisation programme which is very advanced now. We are actually also ensuring that gas penetration, the use of LPG, is really deepened.” Speaking on the medium term projection of the company, which is currently the highest supplier of natural gas to the domestic market, the NPDC boss said besides the 1billion standard cubic feet per day it currently produces, the company would add another 600mmscf to its production portfolio in the next three to five years.

On the Gas Handling Facility, the NPDC boss disclosed that the Liquefied Petroleum Gas unit would be ready for inauguration in October, 2020. The company plans to produce 40 per cent of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas required in the domestic market from the Oredo facility as part of efforts to boost the consumption of LPG, also known as cooking gas, in the country.
