Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo), together with Sunlink Energies, has greenlit the HI gas project offshore Nigeria, aiming to supply 350 million standard cubic feet of gas daily to Nigeria LNG before the decade ends. This move reinforces Shell’s commitment to Nigeria’s energy future, bolstering its Integrated Gas portfolio and supporting Nigeria’s ambition to grow as a global LNG player.
The HI project includes a wellhead platform, pipeline, and gas processing plant at Bonny Island, with an estimated recoverable resource of 285 million barrels of oil equivalent. It aligns with Shell’s goal to expand global LNG volumes by 4-5% annually through 2030 and supports Nigeria’s economic development with job creation in construction and operations.
Shell’s investment reflects the strategic importance of LNG in the energy transition, offering cleaner alternatives to coal and petrol emissions. The development builds on recent projects like Bonga North, highlighting Shell’s ongoing dedication as a disciplined investor in Nigeria’s deepwater and gas sectors.
