Nigeria: TotalEnergies Launches the Ima Gas Development to Supply Nigeria LNG Liquefaction Plant

TotalEnergies (40%, operator) & AMNI (60%) have taken the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Ima gas field offshore Nigeria.
The field is located in shallow waters near Bonny Island across OML 112 & 117 licenses.
Development will utilize a single platform connected via a 22 km pipeline to Nigeria LNG (15% owned by TotalEnergies).
Production start-up is scheduled for 2028 with a plateau of 350 million cubic feet per day (over 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day).
The project will supply approximately one-third of the gas required for the Nigeria LNG Train 7 expansion, raising capacity from 22 Mtpa to 30 Mtpa.
The project is characterized as low-cost & low-emissions, featuring a simplified platform, shore-based electric power, zero flaring, & permanent methane monitoring.
The initiative emphasizes strong Nigerian content with all key contractors being local companies.
Around 60% of the workforce during development is expected to be sourced from host communities.
TotalEnergies has operated in Nigeria for over 60 years, employing 1,800 people & producing 188,000 boe/d in 2025.
