The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has signed a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding with China Gas Holdings Limited and Peiyang Chemical Singapore PTE Ltd. to advance collaboration across Nigeria’s natural gas value chain. The agreement, signed in Abuja, establishes a structured framework to support liquefied natural gas development, including flare gas monetisation, floating LNG, onshore LNG, gas fired power generation, and industrial gas utilisation.
According to the parties, the MoU creates a governance platform to move projects from feasibility assessment to commercial execution, combining international technical expertise with locally aligned financing and delivery models. Discussions also covered compressed natural gas supply, refinery gas integration, and financing structures, with engagements involving energy operators and the Ministry of Finance Incorporated.
Site visits to CNG facilities and logistics bases provided operational insight into compression systems and transport linked gas demand. The partners will now proceed with technical evaluations and commercial structuring, signalling a coordinated push to accelerate scalable gas infrastructure and strengthen domestic energy supply.
