Only two out of six trains at the Bonny LNG plant are operational due to reduced gas supply caused by vandalism and theft, Nigeria LNG CEO Philip Mshelbila said, cited by Platts.

  • Three major gas supply pipelines are under repair due to illegal connections from thieves on the lines.
  • Mshelbila highlighted that while the Nigerian government has focused on securing oil production facilities, gas infrastructure has deteriorated.
  • The Bonny Island facility, with a capacity of 22 million mt/year, is expanding to 30m mtpa with a seventh train. However, security issues threaten this project.
  • The facility has been under force majeure since October 2022 due to flooding and ongoing pipeline disruptions.
  • In 2025, Nigeria's LNG exports have reached 4.2m mt so far. Exports in 2024 totalled 9m mt.
  • Nigerian LNG is exported to markets in Europe and Asia, including Turkey, Spain, Portugal, France, South Korea, Japan, China, and India.
