Nigeria’s average daily gas supply rose to 4.684 billion standard cubic feet per day (bscfd) in November 2025, up from 3.94 bscfd in October, according to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority. The increase was driven by higher plant utilization at major processing hubs and steady export volumes from the Nigeria LNG plant in Bonny.
The Nigeria LNG Trains 1‑6 processed 3.50 bscfd at a utilization rate of 73.70 percent, while the Soku Gas Plant achieved an impressive 96.84 percent utilization—a significant leap from October. In contrast, the Escravos Gas Plant reported a lower utilization rate of 62 percent despite a broader operating base.
Domestic gas deliveries rose modestly in November. Supply to the power sector increased slightly to 0.645 bscfd, the commercial segment grew to 0.581 bscfd, and gas‑based industries received 0.420 bscfd. Nigeria LNG Limited exported an average of 101,555 cubic meters of LNG per day, equivalent to 45,966 metric tonnes, while natural‑gas exports through the West African Gas Pipeline averaged 0.121 bscfd.
The LPG market continued to show a supply surplus, although volumes declined compared to the previous month. Despite the surplus, retail LPG prices remained high due to elevated transportation costs, foreign‑exchange volatility, and dependence on imported LPG components.
The modest gains are attributed to stabilized upstream supply and the restoration of capacities at power plants that faced feedstock shortages in October. However, power generation has not seen proportional improvements because of transmission bottlenecks and poor liquidity in the electricity market.
Nigeria’s gas export performance remained robust in November, with Nigeria LNG Limited maintaining strong shipment volumes. Analysts caution that the sector still faces long‑standing structural challenges, including recurring pipeline disruptions, limited investment in gas processing and transmission infrastructure, and foreign‑exchange instability. Addressing these issues will be crucial for sustaining growth and enhancing overall sector performance.
