Gas Transportation Infrastructure:
Bridge for Gas Supply to Industrial hubs
Most of Nigeria’s gas resource is located in the Niger Delta region
and the East while the markets are spread across the country.

A robust gas transportation network is required to deliver gas to the

existing and proposed industrial hubs.

Clearly, the presence of gas supply infrastructure supports the

development of industrial hubs, bringing cleaner, cheaper and more
environmentally friendly fuel to the markets.

Developing a Backbone Gas Transportation Network

One of the main goals of the Gas Master Plan was to develop a backbone
gas transportation network to make gas available to existing and potential
industrial hubs across the country.

While this may not have been fully realized, a lot of progress has been made
with required modifications to the initial proposal where necessary.

Conclusion
Development of a robust gas transportation network is critical for the
development of gas industrial hubs across the country.

Major pipeline projects are being developed to realize this.

All stakeholders across the natural gas value chain (gas suppliers, gas
transporters, LDCs, etc.) must work together to catalyze the development of
gas industrial hubs.

Synergy among stakeholders reduces costs, increases profits, minimizes

business risks and serves the customer better.
