Report Overview

The Nigeria oil and gas market attained a volume of 1.37 MMT in 2024. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.30% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to reach a volume of 2.30 MMT by 2034.

The oil and gas market in Nigeria is continuously growing due to renewed investments, reforms initiated by the government, and rising global interest. The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), enacted in 2021 has been a major turning point, streamlining governance and providing fiscal clarity to attract further foreign investments. According to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), the country recorded over USD 10 billion in new oil and gas investments by mid-2024, indicating the significant growth in the market.

Moreover, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has transitioned into a fully commercial entity. This move, completed in July 2022, has opened up several opportunities for strategic partnerships, notably with Daewoo and ENI, to expand refinery capacity and optimize liquefied natural gas (LNG) output. As a result, Nigeria’s oil production, which dipped to 1.2 million barrels per day in 2022 due to pipeline vandalism and theft, is rebounding with a target of 1.7 million barrels per day in 2025.

Additionally, the Decade of Gas initiative, launched by the Nigerian government, aims to leverage the country’s 206 trillion cubic feet of proven gas reserves for industrial and export purposes. This has been another key motivator of the Nigeria oil and gas market growth. The Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline, a USD 25 billion project, has garnered further support from ECOWAS, reinforcing Nigeria’s ambition to become West Africa’s gas powerhouse, boosting further demand in the market.

Nigeria Oil and Gas Industry Segmentation

The EMR’s report titled “Nigeria Oil and Gas Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

Market Breakup by Extraction

  • On-Shore
  • Off-Shore

Key Insight: Deepwater offshore fields have accounted for the dominant share of the Nigeria oil and gas market. Companies like Shell and ExxonMobil are expanding subsea installations, citing stable fiscal terms. Moreover, offshore production's lower community-related disruptions make it a more predictable revenue stream. The segment of offshore operations is further driven by favorable Brent prices and improved project cycle efficiencies.

Market Breakup by Type

  • Downstream Oil
    • Breakup by End Use 
      • Transportation 
      • Agriculture, Public and Commercial Services 
      • Industrial Energy Use 
      • Household Energy Use
  • Downstream Gas
    • Breakup by End Use 
      • Transportation 
      • Agriculture, Public and Commercial Services 
      • Industrial Energy Use 
      • Household Energy Use

Key Insight: Downstream oil currently dominates the Nigeria oil and gas market. This segment is increasingly pivoting to regional exports. New pipelines linking refineries to Apapa and Calabar ports are underway to cut export logistics costs by 20%. NNPCL and Sahara Energy's new JV aims to distribute refined products to neighboring ECOWAS markets. Moreover, investments in storage terminals and vessel loading infrastructure are evidently accelerating to support bulk exports. The government’s interest in local refining has led to increased utilization that has also improved supply consistency.

Nigeria Oil and Gas Market Share

By Extraction, the On-Shore Segment Dominated the Market

On-shore fields remain the key segment in the Nigeria oil and gas market. Despite legacy challenges like community unrest, companies like Seplat and NNPCL are investing in digital oilfield solutions to drive recovery rates. The OML 13 project by NNPCL and Sterling Oil, targeting 100,000 barrels/day, has sustained the dominance of this segment. Additionally, onshore assets benefit from easier logistics and lower development costs compared to offshore ventures.

Offshore oilfields, particularly in deepwater zones, are rapidly boosting the Nigeria oil and gas market. Projects like TotalEnergies’ Egina field, producing over 200,000 barrels/day, have shifted focus to high-volume. Offshore assets are insulated from vandalism risks and tend to offer longer production life. Nigeria earned over USD 4.2 billion in offshore royalties. With improved terms under the PIA and clearer JV structures, offshore projects are being fast-tracked.

By Type, Downstream Oil Occupy the Substantial Share of the Market

Downstream oil holds the major revenue share of the Nigeria oil and gas market as it plays a key role in refining, distributing, and marketing oil products. The downstream oil segment comprises all of the critical infrastructure related to refineries, depots, pipelines, and retail outlets that provide fuel and other oil produced products around the country. Downstream oil's dominance is driven by its pivotal role in the supply of energy and the circulation of the economy, depending on utility of energy for commercial purposes, including transport and power generation.

The downstream gas sector is further contributing to the Nigeria oil and gas market value with aggressive investment in storage, pipelines, and export terminals. Nigeria Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC) has committed over USD 1 billion to expand the Escravos-Lagos pipeline and complete the OB3 line. The surge in CNG stations, with over 150 planned under the Presidential CNG Initiative, is also spurring retail demand. Nigeria is also finalizing gas swap agreements with Morocco and Ghana, opening new regional trade routes.

Moreover, Nigeria oil and gas companies are also exploring power-generation synergies with gas to tap the country’s 5GW energy deficit. Additionally, partnerships with indigenous oil firms are now crucial for accessing licenses and navigating complex regulatory terrains.
