Natural Gas Production
gas · monthly · Unit: MMSCFD · 26 records · Generated 25 September 2026
What this is: Total natural gas produced in Nigeria each month, covering both associated gas (produced alongside crude oil) and non-associated gas, including volumes flared, re-injected, and utilised.
Why it matters: Gas is Nigeria's largest energy resource by volume. Monetising gas — rather than flaring it — is central to the government's diversification strategy and the foundation of the domestic electricity supply chain.
