Representatives of Soprise Impact Organisation, an oil and gas
consultancy firm based in Europe and the United States, on Monday told
the Senate Committee on Gas that Nigeria was wasting about 1.1 million
cubic feet of gas daily, which was capable of providing electricity to
20 million houses.
The Chief Executive Officer, Soprise Impact Organisation, Mr. Peter
Jensen, lamented that the gas already wasted in the Niger Delta region,
if harnessed and processed, would have addressed the power problems of
the entire African continent and beyond.
To address the problem, Jensen explained that his firm, which has
branches in Norway, United Kingdom and the US, had concluded
arrangements to hold a conference on gas in Nigeria on March 12.
He said the forum would attract critical stakeholders in the sector,
while experts would speak on the theme: ‘Deepening domestic gas
implementation.’
