Nigeria's 5th Largest Hydrocarbon Producer & Host to the GRADE Gas Monetization Initiative
Niger State ranks as Nigeria's 5th largest oil-producing state, generating approximately 60,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil. With an estimated 4 billion barrels of crude reserves, the state represents a mature petroleum province with existing infrastructure and an emerging downstream processing ecosystem.
The state has approximately 12% of Nigeria's total crude oil and gas reserves. A 64km dedicated gas pipeline network and the landmark GRADE (Gas Resources and Development) gas monetization strategy create a compelling environment for downstream investors seeking cost-effective feedstock.
The Gas Resources And Development Evolution (GRADE) initiative is Niger State's signature framework to monetize proven gas reserves through downstream value addition — converting gas to fertilizer (Urea), LPG, CNG, and industrial feedstock, ending flaring and capturing economic value locally.
Small and medium-scale refinery units processing 2,000–30,000 bpd at Ore Industrial Park with embedded gas pipeline access.
Integrated ammonia and urea production facilities leveraging cheap natural gas to produce fertilizer for West Africa's agriculture markets.
Compressed and Liquefied Natural Gas vehicle conversion centers, distribution infrastructure, and mother/daughter station networks.
Domestic LPG cylinder production plant and bottling stations serving the state's clean cooking energy transition mandate.
