Is the world about to have more gas than it knows what to do with? As 2026 approaches, the global energy market is bracing for a massive supply wave that could change everything from your business operating costs to the price of a cooking gas refill.
At Doowe Gas, we are watching these global shifts closely because what happens in the U.S. and Qatar eventually hits home here in Nigeria. Whether you are a factory owner, a “gaspreneur,” or a household user, understanding this “supply shock” is the key to planning your energy future.
The Problem: A Global Wave of LNG is Coming
For the last few years, the world has been scrambling for gas. Prices were high, and supply was tight. However, the tide is turning. By 2026, a massive amount of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is expected to hit the market.
The United States is leading the charge, having exported over 100 million metric tonnes in 2025 alone. With new facilities like Plaquemines and Qatar’s North Field expansion coming online, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts a 50% rise in global export capacity by 2030.
The Agitation: Will Nigeria’s Gas Industry Be Left Behind?
You might think, “Great! More gas means lower prices!” and you’re right—lower prices are a win for consumers. But for a gas-producing giant like Nigeria, this global surplus creates a massive challenge.
If global profit margins for gas producers drop, investment in new local projects could slow down. Furthermore, while our national gas output grew by 8% in 2025 (reaching 2.7 trillion standard cubic feet), we are still battling a stubborn issue: Gas Flaring. In 2025, we flared over 204 billion standard cubic feet of gas. That is literally money burning away in the sky while businesses on the ground struggle with energy costs.
How do we balance a world full of cheap gas with our own local infrastructure struggles?
The Solution: Deepening Domestic Utilization and Strict Regulation
The solution lies in making sure that every cubic foot of gas we produce stays here to power our own industrial revolution. The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) is already moving to solve this.
Mapping the Future of Gas Distribution
The NMDPRA has announced it is mapping the entire country for Gas Distribution Licences. This means:
-
Franchise Areas: Licensed companies will have defined areas to ensure gas reaches every corner of the country.
-
Virtual Pipelines: In areas where there are no physical pipes, the government is pushing Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) as a “virtual pipeline” to reach industrial hubs.
-
Lower Production Costs: By enforcing gas distribution, the goal is to lower energy costs for manufacturers, which eventually makes products cheaper for you.
At Doowe Gas, we see this as the “Decade of Gas” truly taking shape. Our local non-associated gas production (gas not tied to oil) grew by an impressive 17% last year, proving that we are finally focusing on gas as a primary resource, not a byproduct.
