There are enough projects on the drawing board in Nigeria for another 40 mtpa of LNG. But claims of imminent FIDs on all three of the proposed plants – Brass LNG, Olokola LNG (OKLNG) and expansion at Nigeria LNG – have been around long enough for sales and purchase agreements to be signed, sealed and then apparently expire.
