Tinubu’s Reforms Spur Breakthrough as NNPC/Heirs Energies Double Gas Output, Boost Energy Security The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has recorded another milestone in its aggressive drive to expand Nigeria’s energy capacity, as the NNPC/Heirs Energies OML 17 Joint Venture successfully doubled gas output to an impressive 135 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d). This breakthrough achieved through Nigeria’s first-ever rigless recompletion of a non-associated gas well is a direct outcome of the Renewed Hope Government’s emphasis on innovation, cost-efficiency, and local technical capacity. This game-changing operation is not only an engineering feat but a strong testament to the Tinubu administration’s commitment to unlocking Nigeria’s abundant gas reserves to power industries, boost electricity supply, and stimulate broad-based economic growth. The results are already transforming Nigeria’s power landscape. With the enhanced gas supply under Tinubu’s gas-to-power agenda: 1. TransAfam Power has quadrupled its output, from about 50 MW to over 180 MW, with highs of 200 MW. 2. Other plants, including First Independent Power Limited (FIPL) and Geometric Power, have recorded far more stable and increased generation. 3. Total power output across plants receiving NNPC/Heirs Energies gas has surged from 100 MW to over 350 MW. Under Tinubu’s leadership, this increased generation translates to more electricity for homes, hospitals, schools, and small businesses, reducing blackouts and supporting productivity across the eastern corridor. The intervention at OML 17 stands out for its strategic cost advantage. Instead of drilling a new well or carrying out an expensive conventional workover, Heirs Energies, backed by Tinubu’s reform-driven enabling environment executed a rigless through-tubing recompletion into a fresh reservoir zone. Completed in record time and at just 15% of the cost of drilling a new well, the operation sets a new benchmark for smart, efficient, and innovation-led upstream operations in Nigeria. This is precisely the type of cost discipline and technical creativity President Tinubu continues to champion as Nigeria intensifies its quest to become a regional energy powerhouse. The achievement has attracted national recognition at the highest level of government. Mrs. Olu Verheijen, Special Adviser to the President on Energy, described it as: “A remarkable achievement and a testament to the strength of Nigerian engineering expertise and the power of persistent technical innovation.” The Tinubu administration’s commitment to strong public–private partnerships, especially with indigenous companies, continues to open new frontiers in energy development. This success story reinforces the administration’s belief that Nigeria’s energy revolution will be driven by local talent, local capacity, and smart collaboration. With gas emerging as the backbone of Nigeria’s industrial future, the OML 17 milestone plays directly into President Tinubu’s strategic agenda to: 1. Expand domestic gas supply 2. Support industrialization 3. Strengthen electricity generation 4. Build local technical capacity 5. Accelerate sustainable economic growth As NNPC’s Executive Vice President, Upstream, Udy Ntia, noted: “This intervention demonstrates NNPC’s commitment to unlocking the nation’s gas resources in support of national development.” The OML 17 breakthrough is not just a win for the companies involved. It is a major victory for President Bola Tinubu’s vision of a modern, powered, and economically vibrant Nigeria.
