**NNPC Ltd/TotalEnergies’ $550 Million Ubeta Upstream Gas Project**
The $550 million upstream gas project between the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and TotalEnergies has officially commenced, as announced by the Presidency. Olu Verheijen, Special Adviser to the President on Energy, made this announcement during the inaugural US-Nigeria Strategic Energy Dialogue held in Washington, DC.
The project, which aims to develop the Ubeta field discovered in 1964 and located northwest of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, received its Final Investment Decision (FID) in June. Once operational, it is expected to deliver 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
Verheijen highlighted that significant energy reforms initiated by President Bola Tinubu since June 2023 are focused on enhancing energy security, attracting investment, and strengthening collaborations with key partners like the US government. Key reforms include improving cash flows in electricity distribution through smart metering, settling outstanding debts owed to investors, and reducing carbon emissions from gas production. Five new executive orders have been issued to support these efforts, aiming to provide fiscal incentives for investment and streamline the development and expansion of gas infrastructure.
