Background

Greenville LNG is a proposed LNG terminal on Booney Island in Rumuoji, Rivers, Nigeria.

In August 2017 Nigeria launched a plan to deliver LNG to areas not linked by a pipeline. As a part of the plan, gas would be delivered to Greenville LNG, and then the LNG would be trucked out of the facility by a fleet of 750 trucks also powered by LNG. LNG fuel stations will be built on major highways across the country. Nigeria Today reported in September 2017 that civil engineering experts estimate that road rehabilitation and maintenance costs will increase by 30 percent. The problems is humans rather than weather damage or normal wear. The newspaper claims militants and economic sabotage have caused damage to pipelines.

Bloomberg estimated in July 2017 that 30 percent of the oil sent by pipelines through the Niger River delta is stolen. Natural gas comes out of the well when drilling for oil and later because feed for LNG exports.

The Nigerian Oil Minister told Reuters that said investors “have been looking for how to be able to access and distribute gas in the absence of pipelines.” Without reasonable alternatives plans to build a pipelines from the LNG to customers are still in place.

Phase 1 of Greenville LNG became operational in 2019, with a total output capacity of 2250 tonnes/day (0.82 mtpa). A Phase 2 has been proposed which would increase the facility's capacity to 5250 tonnes/day (1.92 mtpa).
