Natural gas in Nigeria



  • hot climate, no need for heating,
  • no infrastructure for domestic consumption either way,
  • power sector is small, no power plants to utilize the resource,
  • natural gas-dependent industries are inefficient and underdeveloped, no domestic demand for petrochemicals, aluminium, steel and so on,
You should realize that utilization of this amount of natural gas needs about $30b investments in power plants (if you want to use it this way).
There are solving this by:
  • producing LNG,
  • producing diesel from gas,
  • injecting natural gas into oil field,
  • gas pipeline to Ghana,
  • gas pipeline to Algeria,
  • expanding internal pipelines and natural gas power plants,
That said, effects aren't satisfactory.
