Scholarships.
NLNG has a four-tier scholarship programme which channels support for human capital
development and encourage high performance, ultimately growing a pool of high potential students,

Nigeria LNG Limited was incorporated as a limited liability company on May 17, 1989 to harness
Nigeria’s vast natural gas resources and produce Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquids
(NGLs) for export.
The establishment of NLNG is backed by the NLNG Act.
The company is owned by four shareholders, namely, the Federal Government of Nigeria, represented
by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (49%); Shell (25.6%); Total Gaz Electricite Holdings France
(15%) and Eni (10.4%).
It has wholly–owned subsidiaries: Bonny Gas Transport (BGT) Limited and NLNG Ship Management
Limited (NSML).
With six trains currently operational, NLNG’s plant, on Bonny Island in Rivers State, is capable of
producing 22 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA) of LNG, and 5 MTPA of NGLs (LPG and Condensate)
from 3.5 Billion (standard) cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas intake. NLNG’s near term expansion
plans include construction of a seventh train to complement the existing six train structure, which when
in operation will up the company’s total production capacity to 30 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) of
LNG.
As the arrowhead of Nigeria’s efforts to eliminate gas flaring, NLNG’s operations have helped reduced
Nigeria’s Flaring Profile from 65% to below 25%. The company also supplies about 40% of the annual
domestic LPG (Cooking Gas) consumption.
In all its business and social activities, NLNG’s driving force remains its vision to help in building a better
Nigeria.
