The Kwale Gas Gathering (KGG) hub, located in Kwale, Delta State, earned Nigeria the Regional Gas Award for Africa by the International Gas Union (IGU) at the 29th World Gas Congress (WGC) which ended in held in Beijing, China.
The event was the premier gathering of the global gas and energy industry, hosted by the International Gas Union (lGU). IGU represents over 90 per cent of the global natural gas production and consumption market.
The Chief Executive Officer of Xenergi Limited, a Nigerian gas-processing company, Emeka Ene, received the award on behalf of the team that developed the technical submission, comprising Emeka Ene, Debo Fagbami, Kingsley Idedevbo, James Ogunleye, and Sahhed Hammed.
Ene recognised and commended the multidisciplinary technical team that delivered the project and appreciated the Nigerian government and its agencies in the petroleum industry for providing the enabling environment for indigenous companies to demonstrate their various capabilities in resolving the petroleum industry’s operating challenges.
The KGG Facility was designed to handle stranded gas resources in Nigeria’s OML56 operating cluster by providing an open-access processing opportunity for independent operators in the area to monetize natural gas from their fields through the KGG’s quick-to-market gas gathering, compression, injection,and metering infrastructure. It has a processing capacity of 300 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d), contributes to the country’s domestic gas supply, drives economic growth, eliminates flares at oil production sites, boosts operating income for players, and addresses environmental pollution.
During the WGC 2025, Xenergi collaborated with the Delta State Special Economic Zone (DSEZ), NNPC, and GACN to launch a highly successful roadshow showcasing the Kwale Eco-Industrial Park (KGIP) which is focused on promoting gas-based Industries (GBIs). The KGIP is co-located with the KGG in Kwale, Delta State.
