NNPCL drills four oil wells in Bauchi, builds gas plants in Kogi

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has drilled four oil wells in the Kolmani area of Bauchi State as part of its ongoing exploration efforts in northern Nigeria.

This was disclosed by NNPCL Director, Yusuf Usman, during the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation’s two-day interactive session on government-citizen engagement held in Kaduna.

Usman reaffirmed the company’s commitment to oil and gas development in the northern region, noting that NNPCL is currently assessing the best technology for the next phase of drilling in Kolmani.

He also announced the construction of five Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants in Kogi State in line with President Bola Tinubu’s CNG initiative.

According to him, the facilities will significantly boost gas supply and improve energy access across the North.
