NMDPRA GAS CODE TO WIDEN PIPELINE ACCESS FOR SHIPPERS

The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) says its revised Gas Transportation Network Code is designed to improve pipeline access for gas shippers and reduce avoidable losses in Nigeria’s gas sector.

The revised code is intended to improve the way gas is transported through pipeline networks, providing shippers with a framework for accessing available transportation capacity.

Wider access to pipeline infrastructure could help gas suppliers and other industry participants move supplies more efficiently, potentially reducing operational challenges and losses associated with transportation.

The code also forms part of efforts to strengthen transparency and improve coordination among participants in Nigeria’s gas market.

Effective implementation will be important to ensure that eligible shippers can access pipeline services under clear and consistent procedures.

Further details on the revised code’s specific provisions, implementation timeline and expected impact were not included in the information provided.
