NNPC LTD MOVES TO REVIVE BRASS, OK LNG PROJECTS.

In its continued bid to maximise the nation’s abundant gas resources for economic development and prosperity, NNPC Ltd  says it has begun discussions with investors towards bringing back two Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects, Brass and Olokola LNG projects.
In a statement signed by the Chief corporate communications officer Olufemi Soneye reveals that,
NNPC Ltd’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Mr. Umar Ajiya disclosed this on the sidelines of the ongoing 2024 Gas Technology Conference and Exhibition (Gastech), in Houston, United States.
Brass LNG and OK LNG are two LNG projects with the potential of manifold economic benefits for the country which include job creation, power generation, revenue generation and economic diversification. The multi-billion dollar projects were however stalled due to unfavourable market dynamics and slow decision-making by the political class in the past.
“In the past, gas prices went down, the economics of the projects meant a high Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and this was a dis-incentive for investors and partners. Also, there was slow decision-making by the political class,”’ the CFO added.
While describing NNPC Ltd as a commercially driven Company which recognises timely project development and execution, the CFO said there are abundant gas resources in many parts of the world and therefore, the earlier Nigeria makes smart decisions to bring partners to the table, the better.
Ajiya commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support in driving new projects in the Industry through the Presidential Executive Orders on Oil & Gas Reforms.
 He described Gastech as an avenue for NNPC Ltd to learn new technologies which will help the Company decarbonise its operations and promote its abundant LNG resources to the global market.
Gastech is the world’s leading forum dedicated to delivering a more sustainable energy future by bringing together experts who brainstorm to create pathways towards global energy security for lasting climate impact.
