Shell Eyeing Onshore Gas Projects in Nigeria

Shell has started the process of reviewing some large gas projects onshore Nigeria, according to The Guardian Nigeria newspaper.

This move is aimed at increasing company’s contribution to the nation’s LNG output, said Vice President, Nigeria and Gabon, Shell Upstream International, Markus Droll adding that negotiations have started with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG).  

“Onshore, we are reviewing a number of large gas projects. If funding solutions are agreed upon, and when completed, these projects are expected to keep NLNG supplied with gas and to contribute to Nigeria maintaining its strategic position in the global LNG market,” Droll said in a paper titled ‘The Journey Towards Transformation’, The Guardian Nigeria reported.

He also stated that the company is committed to making the Assa North/Ohaji South project a reality.

“This would be one of the largest domestic gas projects in Nigeria,” Droll said.
