Nigeria Burns 76.9bn Cubic Feet of Gas as LPG Prices Surge Nigeria flared approximately 76.92 billion standard cubic feet of natural gas between January and May 2026, even as households face rising Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) prices and persistent concerns over domestic energy shortages, according to data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). An analysis of the Commission’s monthly gas production reports, obtained from its website by the PUNCH, showed that operators burnt a total of 76,919.78 million standard cubic feet of gas within the five-month period. The volumes represent gas that could have been deployed for electricity generation, industrial use, compressed natural gas (CNG) development, and domestic cooking gas supply in a country still grappling with high energy costs and limited energy access. A month-by-month breakdown revealed that Nigeria flared 17,166.08 million standard cubic feet in January, representing 7.10 per cent of total gas output for the period. In February, flaring dropped to 14,085.55 million standard cubic feet, accounting for 6.44 per cent of production. In March, 15,575.10 million standard cubic feet were flared, equal to 6.40 per cent of total gas produced. The figure declined slightly in April to 14,517.95 million standard cubic feet, though the proportion rose to 6.94 per cent. By May, flaring averaged 0.57 billion cubic feet per day, translating to about 15.58 billion standard cubic feet for the month, with a flare rate of 6.9 per cent. The trend comes amid worsening energy pressure…
