Located in shallow waters close to Bonny Island, the Ima gas field will be developed with a single platform, connected through a 22 km pipeline to Nigeria LNG (15%, TotalEnergies). Production start-up is expected in 2028, with a plateau of 350 million cubic feet per day (representing over 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day).
Once on stream, the Ima field will supply about one-third of the gas required for the ongoing Nigeria LNG Train 7 expansion project, which will increase the liquefaction plant capacity from 22 million tons per annum (Mtpa) to 30 Mtpa.
Ima is a low-cost and low-emissions development, with a simplified platform design, electric power supply from shore, no flaring, and permanent methane detection and monitoring.
Developed in partnership with the Nigerian company AMNI, Ima project is characterized by strong Nigerian content, with all key contractors being local companies. It will also contribute to local community development, with around 60% of the workforce expected to be sourced from host communities during the project development.
