Signed during the 2026 Nigeria Oil and Gas Energy Week in Abuja, the agreement enables AGPC-processed gas to be transported through the NGIC Manifold at Assa, Ohaji-Egbema, Imo State.
The ANOH Gas Processing Company Limited (AGPC) has achieved another major milestone in its commercial journey with the signing of a Network Entry Agreement (NEA) with the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company Limited (NGIC), establishing the legal and commercial framework for the injection of up to 250 million standard cubic feet (250 MMscf) of processed natural gas per day into Nigeria’s National Gas Transportation Network.
Signed during the 2026 Nigeria Oil and Gas Energy Week in Abuja, the agreement enables AGPC-processed gas to be transported through the NGIC Manifold at Assa, Ohaji-Egbema, Imo State. The milestone represents a significant step towards increasing domestic gas supply, strengthening energy security, supporting industrialisation and advancing AGPC’s transition into full commercial operations.
Earlier, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Engr. Bayo Ojulari, described the agreements signed at the ceremony as evidence of the power of collaboration among government, investors, regulators and industry stakeholders.
He noted that, while the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) and the Federal Government’s Executive Orders have created an enabling investment environment, sustained partnerships, innovation and disciplined execution remain critical to unlocking Nigeria’s vast gas resources and driving industrial growth.
Also, the Executive Vice President for Gas, Power and New Energy at NNPC Limited, Mr. Olalekan Ogunlewe, described the NEA as one of the strategic initiatives supporting the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas Initiative.
According to him, the agreement would facilitate the injection of approximately 250 MMscf of processed gas per day into the National Gas Transportation Network, strengthening domestic gas availability while fully integrating the ANOH Gas Processing Plant into Nigeria’s gas infrastructure.
He commended the collaboration between AGPC, NGIC, Seplat Energy and other stakeholders, noting that the partnership has been instrumental in overcoming project challenges and delivering infrastructure that will create lasting value for Nigeria.
With a processing capacity of 300 MMscf of natural gas per day and an initial network injection capacity of 250 MMscf per day, the ANOH Gas Processing Plant is one of Nigeria’s flagship midstream gas infrastructure projects. The facility is expected to significantly enhance domestic gas supply, support power generation, stimulate industrial activities and strengthen Nigeria’s energy security.
The execution of the NEA marks another important milestone in AGPC’s journey from project delivery to commercial operations.
It further positions the company to bridge Nigeria’s domestic gas supply gap, support electricity generation, drive industrial productivity and contribute to the Federal Government’s vision of leveraging natural gas as the fuel of choice for sustainable economic growth, energy security and industrial transformation.
