Nigeria Increased Gas Production As Flaring Dipped in 2 2025 - bloomberg
Title: Nigeria Increases Gas Production as Flaring Dips in July 2025Nigeria has achieved a significant milestone in its energy sector as gas production surged while gas flaring decreased in July 2025. According to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), daily gas production hit 7.59 billion standard cubic feet per day (BSCFD) in July, marking an 8.58% increase year-over-year from 6.99 BSCFD in 2024 [1].
This growth in production comes alongside a notable reduction in gas flaring, which fell to 7.16% in July 2025, down from 7.55% in 2024 and 7.38% in the corresponding period of 2023 [1]. The NUPRC attributes this achievement to its ongoing commitment to end routine gas flaring by 2030 and reduce methane emissions by 60% by 2031 through various initiatives such as the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialisation Programme (NGFCP), a Decarbonisation and Sustainability Blueprint, and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) promotion [1].
The Commission also reported a strong performance in Domestic Gas Delivery Obligation (DGDO), with the sector delivering 72.5% in July 2025, up from 71.8% in June [1]. Gas utilisation data shows that 35.88% of production was channelled to export sales, 27.82% to the domestic market, and 29.13% for field and plant operations [1]. Additionally, gas-to-power supply hit its strongest level in three months, with average daily deliveries rising by 3.48% month-on-month from 833.86 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCF/D) in June to 862.86 MMSCF/D in July 2025 [1].
The increase in gas production and the reduction in flaring demonstrate Nigeria's commitment to sustainable energy practices. The NUPRC's initiatives, including the development of the Upstream Petroleum Decarbonisation Template (UPDT), aim to integrate sustainability into project planning and further reduce emissions [1].
