What we do
Shell is an integrated energy company that aims to meet the world’s growing demand for energy in ways that are economically, environmentally and socially responsible.
Our strategy seeks to reinforce our position as a leader in the oil and gas industry, while helping to meet global energy demand in a responsible way. Safety and environmental and social responsibility are at the heart of our activities.
Shell in Nigeria
Shell has a history of over 50 years in Nigeria and the largest footprint of all the international oil and gas companies operating in the country. Its companies and investments have played a pioneering role in onshore, shallow and deep water oil exploration and production. Shell has also been at the forefront of gas development, producing and delivering gas to domestic consumers and export markets for over 40 years.
Exploration and Production:
Most of our exploration and production activities are concentrated in onshore, shallow and deep water.
Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo)
SNEPCO, 100% owned by Shell, was formed in 1993 to develop Nigeria’s deep-water oil and gas resources offshore – the new frontier for the country’s energy industry at the time. It signed a production-sharing contract with NNPC to operate two deep-water licences. The company produces oil and gas in water depths up to 2,500 metres and has made some significant discoveries.
Shell Energy Nigeria
Building on the success of Shell Nigeria Gas, Shell Energy Nigeria is expanding operations as a natural gas marketing and sales business in Nigeria to meet the growing energy needs of business customers. We aim to serve commercial and industrial organisations looking for reliable and bespoke energy products.
Liquefied Natural Gas
Shell Nigeria has been very active in the Liquefied Natural Gas project since its inception in the mid-1960s. NLNG is a joint venture incorporated in 1989 to produce LNG and natural gas liquids for export.
It was Nigeria’s first LNG project. Shell holds a 25.6% share, together with NNPC (49%), Total (15%) and ENI (10.4%).
The NLNG plant at Bonny Island has six processing units (trains) with total processing capacity of 22 million tonnes a year of LNG and up to 5 milliontonnes of natural gas liquids (LPG and condensate)
NLNG accounts for approximately 7% of the world’s total LNG supply
NLNG supplies power to more than 200,000 residents and businesses on Bonny Island via a rural electrification scheme.
