In an effort to strengthen the country’s gas reserves as well as utilizing them in such time as this, Seven Energy, has called on the Nigeria Gas Association, NGA, to place more emphasis on development of new gas basins, adding that basins such as the Anambra should be harnessed.

This call was made during a courtesy visit by the executive management team of the company to NGA corporate office in Lagos.

According to Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Corey, the NGA should direct its advocacy towards the development of new gas basins like the Anambra basin which has some gas discoveries that has never been developed.

“There is little encouragement in policies and regulations to encourage people to develop Anambra basin. The basin will open a whole new area to have gas supply for power and industrial use”.

The company, however, pledged to co-operate and strengthen ties with NGA, on shared objectives. “We have a lot of shared objectives. Even though we have some oil operations, our focus is domestic gas and our gas operations are integrated from production, processing, transport to sales.”
