“So far, the NNPCL has drilled four wells in the Kolmani area of Bauchi State,” Usman stated. “We are currently evaluating the appropriate technology to be deployed for the next phase of drilling operations.”
He also highlighted the company’s broader efforts to expand oil and gas infrastructure in the northern region, including the construction of five gas processing facilities in Kogi State.
“In support of President Tinubu’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative, five CNG and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants are under construction in Kogi,” he said. “These plants are expected to significantly boost gas supply and accessibility across northern Nigeria.”
Usman noted that the projects align with NNPCL’s mission to drive energy development nationwide, especially in previously under explored region.
