Claim: Nigeria LNG is building a seventh production train
100%Verification Analysis
Finding: The claim that Nigeria LNG is building a seventh production train is ACCURATE.
Reasoning:
- Nigeria LNG currently operates a six-train gas liquefaction plant complex producing 22 million metric tons per annum (MTPA) of LNG1.
- The Train 7 project was approved with a Final Investment Decision on December 27, 2019, and the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction contract was awarded in May 2020 to the SCD JV Consortium (Saipem, Chiyoda, and Daewoo)23.
- The project has reached approximately 88% completion and is expected to come online in 20263.
- Train 7 will add 8 million tonnes per annum of production capacity, increasing Nigeria LNG's total liquefaction capacity from 22 MTPA to 30 MTPA (a 35% increase)34.
- The project includes building a 7th Complete Train (CT), a Common Liquefaction Unit, new LNG jetty, condensate stabilization unit, and associated infrastructure1.
