Shell Nigeria Gas

Shell Nigeria Gas Ltd is a fully owned Shell company incorporated in 1998 for the downstream distribution of gas to industries in Nigeria. Its mission is to provide manufacturing and industrial customers with a clean, reliable, low-cost alternative to liquid fuel and to assist in building a stronger Nigerian economy.

Shell Nigeria Gas is part of Shell Energy in Nigeria. Shell Energy has the goal to accelerate the delivery of competitive and reliable energy enabling economic development and growth.

SNG operates a growing world class gas transmission and distribution network of over 150km in Nigeria. Today over 130 industrial customers are already connected to these gas grids. SNG also has a strong relationship with virtual pipeline operators keen on developing compressed natural gas (CNG) and mini liquefied natural gas (LNG) grids across Nigeria.

Together with its partners and local stakeholders SNG have agreements to build infrastructure and deliver natural gas to industrial and commercial customers in Ogun, Abia, Oyo, Rivers, Bayelsa and Lagos States. The natural gas is used by local manufacturers to make household consumables, beverages, utensils and hardware.

SNG’s customers include Africa’s largest float glass factory, Nigeria’s largest ceramics manufacturer and a number of household brand names. The value chain we sustain drives industrialisation, provides employment for skilled and unskilled local population and improves internally generated revenues in these states.

SNG has built a reputation for safety and credibility and is the first gas distribution company in Nigeria whose facility is ISO 14001 certified.

Today, Shell Nigeria Gas operates under the Shell Energy brand; a business line established in Nigeria in 2021 to expand natural gas marketing and sales. Consolidating SNG’s successes achieved in previous years and in line with the federal government’s “Decade of Gas” initiative.
