Nigeria’s domestic gas supply has hit 4.684 billion standard cubic feet per day (Bscf/day) a critical data point from the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) November 2025 Fact Sheet, helping to boost gas based industries such as Fertilizer and cement manufacturers.
This number is highly significant as it relates directly to the Federal Government’s goal of achieving 5 Bscf/day of gas supply to drive its “Decade of Gas” initiative and the $1 trillion economy aspiration.
The figure of 4.684 Bscf/day represents the average daily volume of natural gas made available to all local consumers, including: Gas-to-Power (Electricity), the largest consumer, essential for stabilizing the national grid, Gas-Based Industries (GBI), including fertilizer, methanol, and cement plants and commercial, Residential, for industrial clusters, vehicle fuel (CNG/LNG), and household use (LPG).
Nigeria’s downstream and midstream sector continued to show steady improvement, with stronger supply, better stock levels, and expanding domestic refining capacity.
The average gas supply to the NLNG was 2.6 Bscf/day, average gas supply to the domestic market was 2.08 Bscf/day to total 4.684Bscf/day.
The daily average for November 2025 of gas utilized by strategic sectors include: Gas-to-Power 0.641 Bscf/day, core to electricity generation, Gas-to-Commercial 0.522 Bscf/day, used by manufacturers for self-power and Gas-based Industries (GBI) 0.409 Bscf/day, for fertilizer and petrochemical feedstock.
Key highlights for November from the NMDPRA report:
- 71.5m litres/day PMS supply, with improved national sufficiency at 16.65 days.
- PMS consumption: 52.9m litres/day.
- Diesel (AGO): 20.4m litres/day supply; 15.4m litres/day consumption.
- LPG supply: 4,958MT/day — above national demand levels.
- New refinery licences: 1 establishment + 1 construction licence.
- Waltersmith Train 2 (5,000bpsd) continues commissioning.
- Domestic gas supply: 4.684 Bscf/day powering homes, industries, and export commitments.
These figures demonstrate progress in stabilising fuel supply, strengthening domestic production, and supporting Nigeria’s long-term energy goals.
