Environment Friendly
The two-train base project can process associated gas in quantities up to 40% of its feedstock.
Nigeria's total annual crude oil production is accompanied by associated gas of about 40 bcm per annum, of which 80% is flared. With changes in government gas policies and introduction of various incentives to promote gas utilisation, a number of domestic and export gas projects are at different stages of development in the country.
The largest and the most successful of these gas project investments has so far been that of Nigeria LNG.
Environmental Conservation
In fulfilment of its policy on conservation of the environment, Nigeria LNG has established a nature park in Bonny Island to preserve the culture and natural environment of its host communities. The site of the Nature Park is the natural habitat of the hippopotami, now rare in Nigeria, and other interesting flora and fauna endemic to Bonny Island.
Based on its policy of giving due regard to environmental conservation in all areas of its operations, Nigeria LNG, having completed an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Bonny plant and the GTS route, set up the machinery to develop a workable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to minimise environmental consequences of its operations.
