According to the report, the oil company provided 594 million standard cubic feet of gas per day to gas-fired power plants across the nation in the month of October 2021, up from 557mmscfd in the month before, September 2021.
“The total gas supply to power for the month, according to the report, translates to an average power generation of about 2,944 megawatts compared to 2,701MW for the previous month,” NNPC stated.
A detailed breakdown of the gas supply and production matrix for the time period under consideration, it was claimed, revealed that 121.05 billion cubic feet of the 197.71 billion cubic feet generated were commercialized.
“Of the commercialised volume, 34.93BCF went to the domestic market while 86.13BCF was exported,” it stated.
The company added, “This implies that 62.54 per cent of the average daily gas produced was commercialised while the balance of 37.46 per cent was re-injected, used as upstream fuel gas or flared.”
