NNPC and Heirs Energies Partner to Monetise Flared Gas at OML 17

Nigeria's state energy company, NNPC, and indigenous operator Heirs Energies have signed an agreement to capture and utilise flared gas at their onshore OML 17 joint venture. The partnership forms part of a wider push across the domestic petroleum sector to convert wasted resources into commercial revenue.

By monetising gas that is currently flared, both operators seek to improve asset efficiency and align their operations with national emissions reduction priorities. The project reflects growing commercial interest among Nigerian oil producers in capturing associated gas and developing cleaner, revenue-generating supply lines.

For technical procurement teams, offshore contractors, and marine service providers, the sector's intensifying focus on gas recovery projects creates sustained demand for gas handling equipment, piping systems, and specialised engineering supplies across regional upstream supply chains.
