WetClay Energy Technology (The WET) congratulates Nigeria LNG (NLNG) and its partners on the signing of long-term Gas Supply Agreements (GSAs) with six leading suppliers to deliver up to 1,290 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) of gas to the Bonny Plant. This historic milestone not only secures the reliability of Nigeria’s LNG backbone but also signals a bold step forward in advancing the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas agenda.
For WetClay Energy Technology, this development represents a transformational opportunity. As a pioneer in dual-fuel conversion systems and LNG/CNG distribution solutions, our mission has always been to help industries transition from diesel dependence to clean, affordable, and efficient natural gas. With NLNG now ensuring greater stability and scalability of supply, WetClay is positioned to deliver even more value to industrial clients by reducing fuel costs by up to 80%, cutting emissions, and enabling sustainable growth.
Impact on Industries and Communities
For Industries: Enhanced gas supply guarantees reliability for WetClay’s turnkey LNG-to-power projects, making cost savings and operational efficiency more accessible than ever.
For Communities: Transitioning industries from diesel to gas reduces air pollution and creates new jobs across installation, logistics, and plant operations.
For Nigeria: The deal strengthens energy security, boosts foreign exchange earnings, and accelerates industrialization — all of which WetClay actively supports through its gas plant projects and consulting expertise.
Speaking on the announcement, Nelson Bright, Associate Member of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (ANIPR), and spokesperson for WetClay, noted:
“NLNG’s bold diversification is a clear signal that Nigeria is serious about unlocking the full potential of its gas resources. At WetClay, we see this as an opportunity to expand partnerships, scale innovative solutions, and bring the benefits of gas closer to industries and communities across Nigeria.”
WetClay Energy Technology reiterates its commitment to supporting Nigeria’s energy transition journey by providing reliable, ESG-aligned solutions that contribute to national development while empowering local businesses and communities.
NLNG has signed landmark long-term Gas Supply Agreements (GSAs) with six third-party suppliers to deliver up to a total of 1,290 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) or 13.3 bcm/yr to its Bonny Plant. The volumes will be gradually scaled up over a period of time.
The suppliers are:
SNEPCO–SUNLINK HI Project TEPNG–AMNI JV IMA Project NNPCL–First E&P JV SNG–NGML OANDO–NNPC E&P TEPNG JV Ubeta
NLNG MD/CEO, Philip Mshelbila, said:
“These agreements are a turning point in NLNG’s journey, restoring reliability of supply and ensuring we remain firmly on the path of growth and expansion.”
NNPC GCEO, Bayo Ojulari, added:
“When NLNG started, it was premised on associated gas — accidents of oil exploration, not gas exploration. As associated gas declined and pipeline disruptions grew, sustaining supply became difficult. At the same time, if you recall, there were third parties that had ready gas, but the structure and framework to bring that gas to bear, to maximise capacity utilisation and the profitability of NLNG, suffered for quite some time.
And that is why this particular agreement is a dream come true for Nigeria and for NLNG. It is a proud moment for the founding partners- the shareholders – for their open arms in really bringing in other parties.”
This development marks a historic shift. The bold diversification is about securing continuity and supporting NLNG’s expansion, as well as advancing the Federal Government’s Decade of Gas agenda.

This is a big deal for Nigeria’s gas sector, and breaking it down shows why it matters for a small but ambitious company like WetClay Energy Technology, for host communities, and for Nigeria as a whole.
What it Means for Small Gas Companies like WetClay
More Reliable Gas Supply
WetClay’s LNG/CNG dual-fuel and conversion projects depend on consistent and affordable gas. With NLNG securing long-term feed gas from multiple suppliers, the reliability of LNG availability increases, which lowers risk for companies like WetClay.
New Partnership/Offtake Opportunities
Smaller companies can position themselves as distribution partners, off-takers, or technology integrators for the midstream-to-industrial market since big suppliers (like SNEPCO, Oando, and TotalEnergies) will now have surplus volumes.
Cost Competitiveness
More supply means downward pressure on gas prices in the domestic market. This strengthens WetClay’s value proposition: cutting diesel costs for industries by 50–80%.
Easier Financing
Investors and green project funders see reduced supply risk as a strong signal. WetClay can leverage this to attract development finance institutions (DFIs), ESG funds, and local banks that now trust the Decade of Gas agenda more. Benefits for the Community
Energy Access & Jobs
Increased gas supply translates into more power projects, small industrial clusters, and local businesses being able to operate reliably. WetClay can help convert small industries and even hospitals/schools to cheaper dual-fuel systems.
Cleaner Environment
Shifting from diesel to gas reduces black soot, particulate matter, and greenhouse gases in communities near industries and power plants.
Local Employment
Both the expansion at NLNG and downstream conversion projects (like WetClay’s installations) create direct jobs (technicians, welders, logistics) and indirect jobs (suppliers, services, small businesses).
Benefits for Nigeria (National Level)
Energy Security & Reliability
Nigeria had struggled with gas supply disruptions for years. With multiple suppliers locked in, NLNG’s trains can run more reliably, boosting exports and stabilizing domestic LNG supply.
Economic Growth & FX Earnings
Increased LNG exports = more foreign exchange inflows. At the same time, more reliable domestic gas supply means industries can produce locally rather than shutting down or importing at high cost.
Decade of Gas Agenda
This deal is a practical step forward for the government’s gas policy. It signals seriousness to investors, both local and international, that Nigeria is moving from “oil by-product gas” to deliberate gas development.
Industrialization Catalyst
Reliable LNG supply encourages investment in gas-based industries (fertilizers, petrochemicals, power generation). Companies like WetClay help bridge the last mile by making sure small/medium industries can also access these benefits.
For Communities: Transitioning industries from diesel to gas reduces air pollution and creates new jobs across installation, logistics, and plant operations.
For Nigeria: The deal strengthens energy security, boosts foreign exchange earnings, and accelerates industrialization — all of which WetClay actively supports through its gas plant projects and consulting expertise.
