Nigeria: NNPC pushes gas development projects

Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on 9 July signed preliminary agreements for seven so-called Critical Gas Development Projects in a bid to bridge the supply gap and meet a government target of generating at least 15GW of electricity by 2020. NNPC has engaged DeltaAfrik/WorleyParsons and Crestech/Penspen as consultants to review and update studies, provide financial advisory services, advise on the tender process and develop project schedules and cost estimates.
