Natural gas utilisation in Nigeria / Charles Asekhame Odumugbo in Journal of natural gas science and engineering, Vol. 2 N° 6 (Décembre 2010) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of natural gas science and engineering > Vol. 2 N° 6 (Décembre 2010) . - pp. 310–316 Titre : Natural gas utilisation in Nigeria : Challenges and opportunities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charles Asekhame Odumugbo, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 310–316 Note générale : Génie Chimique Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Utilisation  Exploitation  Monetization  Power  generation  Energy  scenario Résumé : Following Nigeria's gas reserves currently estimated at 182 TCF (trillion cubic feet) with a projected growth rate of over 70% by 2025, the nation's gas sector has proven to have the potential of being a key player in the emergent global natural gas market. Unfortunately, even with this huge gas reserve, not much has been accomplished with respect of the effective exploitation and utilisation of this abundant natural gas reserve of which some of this gas reserves are termed ‘stranded’ whose volume and location are often considered as non-commercial and difficult to exploit. That notwithstanding, up until now most of the nation's natural gas production has been flared or re-injected to enhance greater crude oil recovery. With electric power generation at its ground state, crippling rate of unemployment, emergent global climate change caused by green house emissions from flare-out, it has become imperative to further find ways to exploit and utilise the nation's natural gas reserves and translate it to the improvement of the nation's economy. This paper provides a holistic review to the various technologies for the development, transportation and effective utilisation of the nation's natural gas reserves, its various challenges and opportunities.
