Our project

LNG Processing Facility

The Bayelsa LNG Export Project is strategically positioned as a long-term, low-cost liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer, leveraging the extensive non-associated gas resources of the Niger Delta to supply both regional and international markets. The Phase 1 development targets commercial operations by late 2031, establishing Bayelsa LNG as a competitive and sustainable contributor to the global LNG supply portfolio.

Phase 1 comprises the construction and commissioning of nine modular liquefaction trains, each with a design capacity of 1.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa), delivering a total nameplate capacity of 13.5 Mtpa. The planned Phase 2 Expansion will further enhance production capacity and operational flexibility, positioning the project to meet long-term demand growth across Asia, Europe, and emerging African gas markets.

LNG Export Terminal

The LNG Export Terminal will be strategically located near the Atlantic Ocean for efficient marine access. The terminal will feature advanced storage tanks designed to meet international safety standards, ensuring secure containment and optimal thermal performance. Loading docks will be capable of servicing a range of LNG carriers, from small vessels to large tankers, allowing for flexible export operations.

In addition to storage and loading facilities, the terminal will include high-capacity pipelines, power systems, and advanced control and monitoring technologies to optimize performance, safety, and enable scalability for future growth. Built with a focus on environmental sustainability, the terminal will incorporate technologies for emissions control and water management, ensuring compliance with national and international regulations while minimizing ecological impact.

Our Subsidiaries

TWD Energy, will operate two key subsidiaries, each designed to enhance profitability and create added value:

TWD Transport Company This subsidiary will be established to provide dedicated shipping capacity for the Bayelsa LNG Project. Fully owned by TWD Energy and its shareholders, the company will play a critical role in ensuring reliable and efficient transportation of LNG to global markets.

TWD Ship Management Company This privately held limited liability company will offer comprehensive shipping services, including crew training, manning, fleet management, and consultancy. This subsidiary will support the Bayelsa LNG Project's operational needs, optimizing fleet performance and ensuring the highest standards in ship management.

Our Location

The Bayelsa LNG Export Facility will be strategically located onshore, in the shallow waters of the Niger Delta region, with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean. This prime coastal site ensures efficient logistics for LNG transportation to global markets.

As a project shareholder, the Bayelsa State Government will provide 500 acres for the project. The region already hosts major international and national oil and gas operators, including Chevron, Shell, Agip, CNPC, Addax, ExxonMobil, Total, and ENI, underscoring its long-standing suitability for large-scale energy infrastructure.

The Niger Delta holds vast natural gas reserves, with over 100 trillion cubic feet—approximately 80% of Nigeria’s total gas resources. The Gbaran-Ubie gas field in Bayelsa contains Africa's largest gas well, solidifying the region's significance as a major hub for natural gas production and export.
