The federal government alleged that Shell Nigeria, Chevron and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited are hindering the full operation of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas project by not allowing third parties to transit gas through their pipelines.
The government appealed to the partners to allow the transportation of third-party gas through its joint pipelines to increase gas supply to the NLNG and boost the supply of the product to Europe.
The Senior Adviser, Media and Communications to the Minister of State, Petroleum, Mr Horatius Egua, noted that the NLNG is at present only able to produce at about 70 per cent installed capacity.
