Overview
- Location
- Bonny Island, Rivers State, Nigeria
- Scale / Scope
- LNG liquefaction train expansion raising total NLNG capacity from 22 to 30 mtpa (including Trains 1-6 debottlenecking). Project company: Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG), a joint venture of NNPC Ltd, Shell, TotalEnergies and Eni. Reported project value is inconsistent across sources: $5 billion (most commonly cited, describing Train 7 specifically) versus $10 billion (describing the broader associated gas-expansion programme including debottlenecking) — both figures preserved here with their distinct scope labels rather than collapsed into one number; no scalar `value` field is populated for this reason.
