Reasoning:
- Nigeria LNG (NLNG) is indeed constructing a seventh production train (Train 7) at their Bonny Island facility in Nigeria12.
- The project will expand capacity from the current 22 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 30 mtpa, representing approximately a 35% increase3245.
- Construction began in June 2021, with the Final Investment Decision made in December 201932.
- As of June 2025, construction had reached 80% completion according to reports2.
- The International Gas Union (IGU) 2025 report indicates the start date for Train 7 operations is expected to be 20272.
- The project includes not just the seventh train but also associated infrastructure including a new LNG jetty, condensate stabilization unit, and other facilities4.
- NLNG's official website confirms the project is "progressing steadily towards completion" with over 80% of construction achieved3.
