TotalEnergies Unlocks New Gas Resources in Nigeria's Ima Field

TotalEnergies and its partner AMNI have taken the final investment decision to develop the Ima gasfield in Nigeria, located off Bonny Island. The project will be developed with a single platform connected through a 22 km pipeline to Nigeria LNG, in which TotalEnergies has a 15% interest.

The Ima field is expected to start production in 2028 and reach a plateau of 350-million cubic feet per day, equivalent to over 60 000 barrels of oil per day. The project will supply about one-third of the gas required for Nigeria LNG Train 7 expansion project, which will increase liquefaction plant capacity from 22 million tons a year to 30 million tons a year.

TotalEnergies highlights that the Ima project is a low-cost and low-emissions development, with a simplified platform design, electric power supply from shore, no flaring, and permanent methane detection and monitoring. The company also emphasizes strong Nigerian content, with all key contractors being local companies.
