Nigeria recorded a total gas production of about 1.372 trillion Standard Cubic Feet (SCF) between January and June 2025, a considerable rise compared to the previous year, according to new data released by Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
The upstream regulator’s data highlighted both improvements in utilisation and lingering challenges with flaring across the country’s oil and gas fields.
The total output comprised 729.1 billion SCF from Associated Gas (AG) and 643.3 billion SCF from Non-Associated Gas (NAG). Of this volume, 1.260 trillion SCF was successfully utilised, representing a utilisation rate of 91.6 per cent over the six-month period under consideration.
Gas utilisation was channelled into three major streams: field operations, domestic supply, and export. Field use accounted for 408.28 billion SCF, while 370.66 billion SCF was delivered for domestic consumption.
Besides, exports totalled 481.07 billion SCF, highlighting Nigeria’s continued reliance on foreign gas markets, particularly through Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and pipeline contracts.
