Nigerian Gas Association

Nigerian Gas Association

The Nigerian Gas Association is the professional body responsible for the promotion and protection of the interests of the gas industry in Nigeria.

Formed in 1999, the NGA's initial membership came from the primary gas production and utilization companies in Nigeria. The earliest members include the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG), Chevron Nigeria Limited, the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC), Elf Petroleum, Mobil Producing Nigeria, the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) and Conoco Energy Nigeria Limited.

The NGA has since grown to encompass the entire gamut of stakeholders and operators in the Nigerian gas industry – from gas producers, to transmitters, gas industry service providers, students, members of the academia and government. The association presently has over 40 corporate members, 800 individual professional industry members, and more than 100 student members. The NGA is also a full chartered member of the International Gas Union (IGU), representing Nigeria on the Council of the global gas body.

Quarterly Business Fora

Business leaders and other prespected parties in the Nigerian gas business/industry are usually invited to the NGA Business Fora, where they speak and share their thoughts on agreed themes. The quarterly fora are free to all NGA members and serve as a pint for the gathering of the latest thoughts on the Nigerian gas industry.

Conference and exhibition

Held every two years, the NGA Conference and Exhibition serve as the highlights of the NGA's calendar. The events are usually attended by experts, members of the academia from within and outside Nigeria. The theme for the conference is set from the end of the previous conference, and papers are delivered by subject-matter experts. The event is also characterised by syndicate sessions and an exhibition, where all gas industry players exhibit their products, services and projects to attendees.

To be launched in June 2010, The NGA Training Series are a set of training programmes organized by the NGA to address certain skill and competency gaps identified in the Nigerian gas industry.
