Nigeria targets Trans Saharan, Europe gas market

Nigeria and other African countries have renewed commitment to revive the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline project to avoid the collapse of the important infrastructure.

Those who signed into the project are Chief Timipre Sylva, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources; Mahamane Sani Mahamadou, Minister of Petroleum, Energy and Renewable Energies for the Republic of Niger; and Mohamed Arkab, Minister of Energy and Mines, Algeria.

The agreement will see the resumption of the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline project.

The gas pipeline of 4,128km will link Warri in Nigeria to Hassi R’Mel in Algeria, passing through Niger.

Post completion, the pipeline will transport 30 billion cubic feet, bcm of natural gas yearly from Nigeria, Algeria and Niger to European markets via Algeria’s strategic Mediterranean coast, as well as supply inland stations along its route.

It will enable Europe to tap directly into the three country’s natural gas reserves, thus diversifying its supply in the wake of the current energy crisis, while creating critical sources of revenue for African gas markets.

Much of the estimated $13 billion pipeline cost will be spent in Niger, acting as a much-needed boost for the already growing energy sector and wider economy.

It will also enable Niger to monetise its own gas reserves, estimated at 34 bcm with recoverable reserves of 24 bcm.

Niger already has experience in driving transnational energy infrastructure projects.

Its 2011 completed Zinder based 20,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery supplies the entire region with petroleum products.

Niger currently exports refined products to countries in the sub-region, including Nigeria, Mali, and Burkina Faso.

Through the completion in 2023 of the Niger-Benin pipeline, from the prolific Agadem basin in Niger to the Cotonou terminal off the coast of Benin, Niger will increase its current production from 20,000 to over 120,000 bpd.

This $2.2 billion pipeline will unlock an additional $3 billion in field development investments by Chinese major CNPC, which is the operator of the Agadem discoveries.

Niger aims to become a hub for hydrocarbons, petrochemicals and associated products in West Africa and the Trans-Saharan Pipeline projects only serves to enhance this trend.

The planned energy infrastructures will boost Niger’s growth and position it as a key bridge between resource rich sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghrebian and European markets.
