LNG Terminals in Nigeria
Nigeria has 26 LNG terminals mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 12th-largest fleet of the 102 countries that hold any, and 2% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 7 operating and 8 under construction or proposed. Combined LNG capacity is about 101 Mtpa. The largest is Bonny Island LNG (22 Mtpa).
The largest owner-operators are Nigeria LNG Ltd (13), NNPC Ltd (5) and Brass LNG Ltd (2) — Nigeria LNG Ltd alone is named on 50% of them. Half of Nigeria's LNG terminals in service predate 2002 (median commissioning year of the 7 with a known date) and the oldest still listed is Nigeria LNG Terminal, dating from 1999. 8 are in the pipeline, led by Olokola LNG Terminal (6.3 Mtpa), proposed. They account for 8% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Nigeria.
