Shell Approves $5 Billion Investment in Nigeria’s Bonga North Offshore Field, TDF Lauds Tinubu

President Ahmed Bola Tinubu

In a move hailed as a testament to Nigeria’s growing appeal to international investors, The Democratic Front (TDF) has celebrated Shell’s $5 billion Final Investment Decision (FID) for the Bonga North Deep Offshore Field. 

The group attributed this landmark investment to the pro-business policies and reforms championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This announcement was made in a statement jointly signed by TDF Chairman Mallam Danjuma Muhammad and Secretary Chief Wale Adedayo.

The group commended President Tinubu’s administration for creating an investment-friendly environment that continues to attract significant foreign direct investment to Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.

According to TDF, the investment is not just a financial milestone but a critical indicator of Nigeria’s enhanced position in the global energy market. The group praised the transformative impact of Presidential Directives 40, 41, and 42, which aim to fast-track regulatory approvals, reduce operational costs, and introduce competitive fiscal incentives.

“We join President Bola Tinubu in celebrating the Final Investment Decision (FID) by Shell on Bonga North Offshore Field. It is a thing of pride for us that the investment is the outcome of reforms introduced by the President through these directives.”

The Democratic Front (TDF)

The group emphasized the field’s potential production capacity of 350 million barrels of crude oil, highlighting its significance for boosting Nigeria’s oil output, revenue, and position as Africa’s largest oil producer.

Nigeria’s Oil and Gas Sector Attracting More Investments

TDF also pointed to other strategic investments in Nigeria’s energy sector as evidence of the success of Tinubu’s fiscal reforms. Among these is TotalEnergies’ $500 million investment in the Ubeta Gas Field, which is projected to produce 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day upon completion.

“The Ubeta upstream field is estimated to produce 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day when operational and will go a long way to raise the country’s profile as a major gas producer. This remarkable economic feat was unarguably achieved under the economic reform of President Bola Tinubu.”

The Democratic Front (TDF)

The Bonga deepwater field, located in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 118 at depths exceeding 1,000 meters, was discovered in 1996.  However, TDF noted that it has never attracted an investment as substantial as the $5 billion now committed by Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (SNEPCo).

“This extraordinary display of confidence in Nigeria’s investment ecosystem is a confirmation of the success of the current reforms in eliminating investment encumbrances and reducing the risks of doing business in Nigeria.”

Shell’s 55% ownership stake in the Bonga Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) facility underscores its vested interest in ensuring the project’s success. The company’s commitment, alongside the fiscal incentives introduced by the Tinubu administration, signals the likelihood of more international oil companies (IOCs) investing in Nigeria’s energy sector.

The $5 billion investment is expected to produce approximately 350 million barrels of crude oil, marking a significant boost to Nigeria’s oil output and revenue. 

TDF expressed confidence that this development will strengthen Nigeria’s status as a key player in the global energy market.“With President Tinubu’s leadership and vision, we anticipate even more transformative investments in the oil and gas sector,” the group concluded.

The announcement comes amidst growing optimism about Nigeria’s economic prospects under President Tinubu’s administration, particularly in sectors critical to the nation’s growth and stability.

This development reinforces Nigeria’s standing as an attractive destination for international investment, driven by robust fiscal and regulatory reforms that reduce operational barriers and enhance profitability for global energy giants.
