The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited has announced the commencement of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) exports to the Asian markets of China and Japan.

The spokesperson of the national oil company, Olufemi Soneye, made this disclosure in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

Soneye explained that the shipment of the cargo to both Asian countries was conducted on a Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) basis.

A delivered Ex-Ship (DES) is an international commercial term that requires the seller to deliver the products/goods at a specific port.

The seller takes responsibility for the shipping and insurance for the products/goods until they get to the specified port of delivery.

“In line with its strategic vision to be a dynamic and reliable global energy supplier of choice, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) has commenced shipment of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cargoes to Japan and China on Delivered Ex-Ship (DES) basis.

“NNPC Ltd. Achieved the milestone through the collaboration of two of its Downstream subsidiaries – NNPC LNG Ltd. And NNPC Shipping Ltd. – which delivered its first DES LNG cargo from the 174,000m³ LNG vessel, Grazyna Gesicka at Futtsu, Japan, on 27th June 2024.

“Since then, it has expanded its footprint to China with the delivery of one LNG cargo on a DES basis,” he said.

Moreover, Soneye said NNPC has been involved in LNG trading since 2021 with its first LNG cargo sale in November of that year.

According to him, it has since traded over 20 cargoes into the European and Asian markets on FOB basis.

Speaking on the development, the Executive Vice President, of Downstream, Dapo Segun, said:

“The DES system, apart from being more financially rewarding, allows NNPC Ltd. Inroads into the downstream segment of the LNG sector and positions it to capture more market shares while building in-house capacity and ensuring that global customers are familiar with the NNPC Ltd. Brand”.

On his part, the Managing Director of NNPC Shipping, Panos Gliatis, added that the collaboration between NNPC LNG Ltd. And NNPC Shipping Ltd. in executing the LNG supplies on a DES basis has strengthened the latter’s position as a world-class shipping provider in the LNG sector.

“NNPC Shipping intends to build a shipping portfolio (including owned vessels) so that we can provide our sister company and other clients all the shipping flexibilities they need,” Gilatis noted.

What you should know
Nigeria’s transition from oil to gas in its energy sector has been ongoing for decades, driven by the nation’s vast gas reserves, which far exceed its crude oil reserves.
This strategic shift has gained further momentum under President Tinubu, who has enacted new executive orders to bolster the gas industry.
As part of these efforts, President Tinubu recently inaugurated three gas plants located in Delta and Imo States, with the goal of increasing the country’s gas production by at least 25%.

Moreover, NNPC entered into a significant agreement with Golar LNG, a North American firm, to establish offshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production in the Niger Delta.

This Project Development Agreement (PDA) will harness approximately 400-500 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) of gas, with plans to produce LNG, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), and condensate within the country.

E lo fokan bale. E ti ri nkan kan. The President Asiwaju Tinubu-led istration will deliver on his campaign promises and exceed all expectations! This is how to revenge; achieve phenomenal success!


We appreciate you NNPCL and all patriotic Nigerians and lovers of Nigeria who made this feat possible. NNPC having its own shipping line would have been thought impossible for years to come but today it's now a reality.

All the naysayers and unpatriotic elements lule pii!

Here is the lesson to those wishing ill luck to the istration of President Bola Tinubu; when you hate, criminally defame and point accusing fingers at an innocent person, the remaining 4 fingers of illwind you wish others are pointing at you! You bless Nigeria, Nigeria will bless you, you curse Nigeria, Nigeria will curse you and your generations and nothing you sow in Nigeria or outside Nigeria will be blessed because the curse will follow you around!

Bro where is NLNG in this? I thought NLNG is the one that owns the gas business.bro take am easy to dey lie.

While it's a good initiative, won't the proceeds end up in someone's pocket?
Sincerely, NNPC makes a lot of sales but mostly declare deficit. Even Nigeria too always declare deficit.
Why? Who are those pocketing these monies?

You won't come out straight... Just say you're paying up debt or giving it out in advance.. which one is selling

Gas is very expensive for your citizen while you are busy exporting it to Japan. Pres dodo of Yoruba land

Smiles . I’m disappointed cos you actually believed this. What isn’t in circulation in the country is being exported as claimed and you think everything is alright? Those are all lies sir

Corn-fused country!

Just looking for activities to get our minds off the subsidy payments (their so called shortfall), and their s that have not been audited for years.

NLNG is already an established player in this domain and they have proven to be a trusted company. Unlike NNPC that decided to make themselves a cash cow for politicians.

NLNG already have ships, they have been selling gas for ages. So what busy body are these thieves trying to do?

Gas wey never reach us,dem dey send am go morroco now na Japan.....

Nigerians don't care, what we care about is how much is a kg of cooking gas in Nigeria, all these una news na propaganda if cooking gas is so expensive that Nigerians are now resorting to charcoal.

Gas wey never reach us finish for here.
