With a final investment decision (FID) on the Coral South floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) development imminent, Eni and its partners have signed a sales and purchase agreement with BP to buy all its production. BP will use LNG from the contract to help meet its global supply commitments. The company said the agreement, signed on 4 October, covered the purchase of LNG for over 20 years, and would contribute to the diversification of its portfolio beyond the end of the decade. The agreement is conditional on FID being reached, which is expected by year-end.

Electricity generation across Nigeria reached 4GW in July, the Presidential Task Force on Power has announced. This is a step forward for Nigeria’s chronically underperforming industry, but shows that output remains way off peak demand of 14GW. Similarly, the transmission network’s capacity reached a new peak of 4.6GW as of 30 July, but this was not enough to fight off fierce criticism of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).TCN is run under management contract by Canada’s Manitoba Hydro International (MHI).

Claiming the challenges that had stalled the sale of three national integrated power projects (NIPPs) had been overcome, the Abuja government approved the privatisation of the Calabar, Geregu and Omotosho thermal plants last October. But there are still significant barriers to the government’s aspiration to add 5GW of capacity with the moribund NIPPs’ revival, according to sources canvassed by African Energy.Against a difficult macroeconomic background and still dysfunctional electricity supply industry, the privatisation of the NIPP plants has struggled.

Military power may have subdued Cabo Delgado’s jihadist insurgency, but an atmosphere of pervasive insecurity persists with consequences for major liquefied natural gas projects. TotalEnergies-operated Mozambique LNG is still under force majeure, while ExxonMobil is looking to alter its Rovuma LNG design and Eni is proposing adding a second phase to the offshore Coral Sul, writes Marc Howard.

After years of delay, the Petroleum Industry Bill has finally been approved by Nigeria’s parliament – albeit in different versions by the National Assembly’s two chambers. It promises substantial benefits for gas and other under-performing hydrocarbons-based industries and reforms to areas of government in profound need of overhaul. The critical question remains whether the bill is enough to galvanise the economy and industry when implementation could take many years, write Jon Marks and Ajay Ubhi
