Train 7: NLNG Seeks More Investments On Gas Production – Mshelbila

Dr Philip Mshelbila, Managing Director, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) has called on the Federal Government to increase investments on gas production to achieve its energy transition plan.

 

Mshelbila stated this during the visit of Ekperikpe Ekpo, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Gas), to the NLNG plant in Bonny, Rivers.

 

This is contained in a statement issued by NLNG’s Acting Manager, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

 

The managing director said the Federal Government must be deliberate in its adoption of gas as a transition fuel to overcome the challenges in the nation’s energy sector.

 

“So, as we embark on the journey to complete Train 7, we are on the precipice of achieving a remarkable milestone – a capacity of 30 Million Tonnes Per Annum (MTPA).

 

“This accomplishment will not only reposition us as one of the largest single-site operations globally but potentially among the top three worldwide in terms of capacity at a single site.

 

“It is an achievement that elevates Nigeria’s standing, placing us among the top six nations in this crucial industry,” he said.

 

He said the world was evolving at an unprecedented pace, as recent events, such as the Russian/Ukraine war, had ushered in a wave of new developments in the gas sector.

 

According to him, the conflict and other dynamic changes in the global energy industry was likely to increase Nigeria’s rankings as more countries make substantial investments in LNG production.

 

“This is why we believe it is important for us to conclude Train 7 and begin to look beyond that for further expansion.

 

“Currently, the biggest challenge we have, one that poses a threat not only to our existing operations but also to our expansion plans, is feed gas supply.

 

“Trains 1 to 6 currently operate at half their capacity, a situation that has persisted for some time.

 

“Crude oil theft has affected associated gas supply resulting in our plant being half-full. Not because we don’t have the capacity but because the feed gas is not there,” he added.

 

Mshelbila said the company had ambition for the Train 8 but could not make progress with the project due to no clear sight of where the gas would be sourced from.

 

He said the gas could, however, be sourced from deep water but that the Federal Government needs to address the Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs) that govern deep-water exploration in the country.

 

“At present, the PSCs that govern deep-water exploration do not offer commercially viable terms for producers.

 

“However, our commitment to harnessing the immense potential of natural gas will not only restore Nigeria’s reputation as a major energy powerhouse but also propel us to a cleaner/greener future,” he said.

 

Speaking, Ekpo said the Federal Government was fully committed to restoring Nigeria’s energy plans to enable the country to compete favorably among its peers globally.

 

The minister gave the assurance that the government would continue to encourage engagements of stakeholders to resolve gas supply and security issues in the country.

 

“So, all hands must be on deck to stop the loss of revenue and missed opportunities, as we continue to engage with investors to tap into our huge gas reserves.

 

“NLNG stand as a leading light to Nigeria’s quest to become an energy-efficient country where clean energy, including gas is utilized is commendable.

 

“The present administration will do everything possible to address the issues for the good of this country and benefit for our future generations,” he stated.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area.

However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver?
