Nigeria Offshore Oil and Gas Production Market Analysis
Growing developments in the offshore oil & gas industry in Nigeria, divestment in onshore oil and gas production by oil majors and increasing focus and investments in the offshore oil & gas sector by international oil companies propel the offshore oil and gas production market. However, security threats and obstacles in the Nigerian oil & gas industry restrain the market growth. Moreover, developments in the oil & gas industry and the rising need for natural gas infrastructure are expected to create opportunities for key companies operating in the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the role of natural gas in the country’s energy transition goal is expected to be the key trend in the Nigeria offshore oil and gas market from 2023 to 2031.
The Nigeria offshore oil and gas production market is segmented on the basis of type and application. By type, the market is bifurcated into crude oil and natural gas. Based on application, the Nigeria offshore oil and gas production market is segmented into power generation, industrial, transportation, and others.
The ecosystem of the Nigeria offshore oil and gas production market comprises a complex network of stakeholders operating in seismic research, drilling and discovery, development, and production. It is included in the exploration & production or upstream sector of the oil & gas industry value chain. The upstream sector is the stage in the value chain where oil and gas are searched, developed, and produced so that they can be sold on the wholesale market. It represents the source of oil and gas supply, and the activities of the value chain indicated. This sector is technologically advanced and the most complex in the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. It also involves high-risk economic activities, and the potential for returns is generally the highest.
Nigeria Offshore Oil and Gas Production Market Overview
The oil & gas industry is the major industry in Nigeria's energy market and plays an important role in the country’s economy. The industry has been a major source of revenue generation in the country and is currently the source of nearly 95% of the foreign exchange earnings. Investors looking to get into the oil & gas industry can quickly become overwhelmed by the complex jargon and unique metrics used throughout the industry. Nigeria is the largest oil and gas exporter in Africa. The country exports most of the oil it produces despite having a refining capacity of nearly 450,000 BPD. While in the past, most oil was transported through Nigeria to the US. Today, Nigerian oil is transported primarily to Asia, Europe, and South America.

Nigeria Offshore Oil and Gas Production Market Drivers and Opportunities
Growing Developments in Offshore Oil & Gas Industry
There is an increase in developments and investments by major international oil and gas players in scaling up production and expanding their presence in the Nigerian offshore oil & gas industry owing to the increasing insecurity and oil theft. A few major initiatives and developments in the industry in Nigeria are listed below:
- In January 2024, TotalEnergies, along with its partners, started production of oil and gas from the Akpo West Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility on the PML2 license in Nigeria. The offshore field is expected to add 14,000 bbl of condensate production by Mid-2024 and up to 4 million cubic feet of gas per day by 2028.
- In December 2023, Shell Plc announced its plans to invest US$ 1 billion over the next decade to boost natural gas output in Nigeria for domestic supplies and exports. Through this investment, the company aims to extend the Bonga FPSO vessel life and development of Bonga North, Bonga South-West, and Nnwa Doro facilities in the short to long term.
- In January 2024, Chevron announced its plans to increase its investments in Nigeria's deepwater areas. The company plans to acquire seismic data in several deepwater areas and expand its Agbami field project. The American multinational also acquired a stake in offshore OPL 215—joining TotalEnergies—and extended three of its deepwater licenses for 20 years.
- In May 2023, TotalEnergies Upstream Nigeria Limited secured its renewal of a production license in offshore Nigeria. This 20-year renewal expansion plan enables the oil major to develop hydrocarbons in the OML 130 block containing the Akpo and Egina fields.
- In May 2024, the Nigerian National Petroleum Co. Ltd. collaborated with First E&P and restarted oil production from the offshore Madu field in Nigeria.
Thus, growing developments in the offshore oil & gas industry in Nigeria drive the Nigeria offshore oil and gas production market growth.
Development and Rise in Need for Natural Gas Infrastructure
Nigeria is committed to monetizing its natural gas resources and becoming a leading LNG exporter in global markets. Its most notable project – the US$ 5 billion Nigeria LNG Train 7 expansion – is expected to increase processing capacity by 35%, from 22 million tonnes to 30 million tonnes per year. As a result of such initiatives, the country can export higher volumes of gas to markets such as Europe, where Nigeria exported 9.4 billion cubic meters of LNG in 2023. However, to accelerate exports, Nigeria needs significant investments in deep-sea natural gas projects and infrastructure development.
Nigeria has issued a call for upstream investment, with a strong focus on deep offshore and a licensing round in 2024 to attract new operators. The country is also using gas monetization as a means to eliminate gas flaring and has flared around 275 million cubic feet per day (cfd) in 2023. The gas flared in Nigeria has the potential to generate 1,125 GW of electricity for the country, presenting significant opportunities for gas-power infrastructure. Meanwhile, Nigeria's Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has cleared 48 gas flaring sites for commercialization as part of efforts to expand the domestic gas market and decarbonize upstream activities.
