How NCDMB Commissioned NEDOGAS 300 MMscfd Capacity Kwale Gas Gathering (KGG) and Injection Facility.

Engr. Felix O. Ogbe (FNSE), Executive Secretary of the NCDMB, expressed his excitement at the commissioning of the NEDOGAS 300 MMscfd Capacity Kwale Gas Gathering (KGG) and Injection Facility. He emphasized Nigeria’s commitment to the flares-out program and the COP 26 commitments on reducing emissions, aiming for net zero by 2060.

He however, noted that the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development (NOGICD) Act mandates the NCDMB to support initiatives fostering national capacity development. The NEDOGAS project is a significant achievement under this mandate, particularly under section 70 (H) of the Act.

He highlighted the NCDMB’s investment in third-party companies to support the Federal Government’s job creation mandate, adding value to natural resources, and contributing to Nigeria’s flare-out targets. “These projects aim to create numerous direct and indirect jobs, supporting the economy,” he said.

The commissioning coincides with the first anniversary of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, which prioritizes harnessing Nigeria’s gas resources for domestic use and industrialization.

Also Engr. Ogbe went further to praise the Delta State government and host communities for their support and cooperation.
