Nigeria’s daily natural gas production rose to 7.93 billion standard cubic feet per day in May 2026, driven by increased domestic demand and the growing contribution of non-associated gas production, fresh industry data has shown.
The data revealed that gas production rose to 7.93bcf/d in May 2026, representing a 0.63 per cent year-on-year increase from the 7.88bcf/d recorded in the corresponding period of 2025.
A breakdown of May’s production data published on the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission website on Monday shows that Associated Gas accounted for 3.96bcf/d, while Non-Associated Gas contributed 3.98bcf/d.
This indicates that non-associated gas is increasingly carrying its own weight in the production mix and reflects the maturation of dedicated gas development initiatives.
On a month-on-month basis, gas production declined marginally by 0.12 per cent from 7.94bcf/d recorded in April.
Over the past five months, gas production has maintained a positive trajectory, rising from 7.80bcf/d in
