The gross gas production in Nigeria has increases to 7.63 billion standard cubic feet per day from about 6.83 billion standard cubic feet per day in 2023.
This was confirmed by the presidency.
Special Adviser to the President on Oil and Gas, Mrs Olu Verheijen, disclosed this at the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce Energy Day 2026.
A text of her presentation at the event, held recently in Lagos, was made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday.
Verheijen also disclosed that the nation’s proven reserves now stand at over 215 trillion cubic feet of gas.
She said the monumental increase was achieved through targeted presidential directives which improved the environment for deep-water, non-associated gas and midstream infrastructure.
The Special Adviser disclosed that over four billion dollars in international oil company divestments were refocused on deep-water and integrated gas.
She said the feat was achieved also because President Bola Tinubu’s administration successfully addressed the challenge of the cost of doing business.
According to her, contracting that once took thirty-six months currently takes around fourteen while the government is driving toward a target of six.
