Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has taken the Final Investment Decision (FID) for its Train 7 Project, which will increase its production by 35 percent and its competitiveness in the global LNG market.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This decision allows the expansion to increase the capacity of NLNG\u2019s six-train plant from the extant 22 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) to 30 MTPA, with the award of contracts for the engineering, procurement and construction activities to follow the closure of bank and Export Credit Agency (ECA) financing, and the finalization of some key supporting commercial agreements expected in early 2020. The actualisation of the Train 7 Project comes as NLNG celebrates 30 years of its incorporation and 20 years of safe and reliable operations since exporting its first LNG cargo in 1999.<\/p>\n

NLNG is an incorporated Joint-Venture owned by four Shareholders, namely, the Federal Government of Nigeria, represented by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (49%), Shell Gas B.V.  (25.6%), Total Gaz Electricite Holdings France (15%), and Eni International N.A. N.V. S.\u00e0r.l (10.4%).<\/p>\n

  \u201cTrain 7 is the crux of a growth agenda which will ensure the Company\u2019s position as the 5th<\/sup> major supplier of global LNG is maintained, increasing value to its Shareholders and other stakeholders, as well as further reducing the gas that would otherwise have been flared, in fulfilment of its vision of \u2018being a global company, helping to build a better Nigeria\u201d MD\/CEO of NLNG, Tony Attah said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver 12, 000 jobs will be created during the peak of construction, trade and commercial activities within the Niger Delta region equally receiving a boost as a result.  The Project will also support the development of local engineering and fabrication capacity in the country. Other opportunities for local content include procurement, logistics, equipment leasing, insurance, hotels, office supplies, aviation, haulage, and many more,\u201d he stated further.<\/p>

The Company also stated that the Project upon completion will support the Federal Government\u2019s drive to diversify its revenue portfolio and generate more revenue from Nigeria\u2019s proven gas reserves of about 200 Trillion Cubic Feet (Tcf).<\/p>\n

The construction period after FID will last approximately five years with first LNG rundown expected in 2024.<\/p>\n
