TotalEnergies’ latest investment plan is in alignment with the company's strategic vision and long-term commitment to the region. The focus on natural gas and offshore projects is in line with the evolving trend of increased focus on cleaner and more sustainable energy sources. It must be noted that Nigeria has been a major contributor to the company’s global production.

In a related development, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has announced plans to ramp up crude oil output to an ambitious two million barrels per day, beginning next year. Alongside, it will implement various measures aimed at curbing oil theft and pipeline vandalism.

The heightened investment by industry majors such as TotalEnergies, along with NNPC’s ambitious output targets signals possibilities of a positive growth trajectory for Nigeria’s overall energy sector.
