Shell Nigeria sets its sights on natural gas

Shell’s joint venture in Nigeria will focus its forthcoming investments on natural gas for Nigeria’s domestic consumption and exports.

Managing director Osagie Okunbor told CNBC Africa: "Our strategy is to invest a lot more in gas, for domestic consumption and export. We want to grow our deep water and constrain our onshore oil production.”

Over the past few years Shell has been divesting its onshore oil-producing assets.
