TotalEnergies Sanctions Low-Emissions Ima Gas Project in Nigeria

TotalEnergies has sanctioned the Ima gas field development in Nigeria, a project that will supply one-third of the feedstock needed for the Nigeria LNG plant's Train 7 expansion.

The project, which is set to start production in 2028, will deliver 350 million cubic feet of gas per day via a 22 km pipeline to the plant on Bonny Island.

TotalEnergies and its partner AMNI have positioned Ima as a low-cost, low-emissions project, using a simplified platform, shore-based electric power, eliminating flaring, and deploying permanent methane monitoring to cut its environmental footprint.

The project will also create economic benefits for domestic stakeholders, with strong Nigerian content and heavy reliance on local contractors and host-community labor.
