Our flagship development

Sapele LNG

Unlocking new possibilities for Nigerian gas.

Project background

Bridging the energy gap.

In line with the Gas Master Plan, Sapele LNG aims to further bridge the energy gap by connecting gas-rich areas with areas in dire need of energy through virtual pipelines.

The lack of a robust distribution network presents an opportunity for Sapele LNG to provide gas to regions with energy demand.

How it works

From natural gas to energy access.

  1. 01

    Source Natural Gas

    Sapele LNG will source processed natural gas.

  2. 02

    Liquefaction

    The natural gas will be liquefied to produce LNG.

  3. 03

    Transportation

    Produced LNG and byproducts will be transported through appropriate channels, including roads and barges, to regions with energy demand.

  4. 04

    Regasification

    LNG will be regasified at offtakers' facilities for use.

Project progress

Developing Sapele LNG.

Gas supply
A Gas Supply Agreement (GSA) has been secured with SEPLAT to guarantee a supply of 40 MMscf/d.
Offtake interest
Several industries have expressed interest in offtaking LNG.
Engineering design
Engineering design is in progress.
Liquefaction technology
The SLNG plant will liquefy processed natural gas using CRYOSYS' single mixed refrigerant system (OMRTM process).
Permits
All required permits have been secured, including NMDPRA's License to Establish and Environmental Impact Assessment.
First LNG target
The project has progressed significantly towards its first LNG target in 2028.

Project benefits
