Nigeria’s domestic gas suppliers delivered an average of 2.05 billion cubic feet of gas per day in the first half of 2026, achieving only about 65 per cent of the country’s Domestic Gas Delivery Obligation target, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has disclosed.
The development highlights a persistent gap between gas allocated for domestic use and the actual volumes delivered to industries, power plants and other local consumers, prompting the regulator to introduce a Gas Swap Framework aimed at improving compliance.
The Commission Chief Executive of the NUPRC, Oritsemiyewa Eyesan, disclosed this during the recently concluded stakeholders’ workshop on the Gas Swap Framework for Domestic Gas Delivery Obligation held in Abuja.
