Shell to begin gas production at expanded Gbaran-Ubie gas project

Royal Dutch Shell says it has begun gas production from the second phase of the Gbaran-Ubie project in Nigeria’s Niger Delta, Nasdaq reports.

The project is an expansion of the Gbaran-Ubie development, which opened in June 2010.

Shell, through its Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) subsidiary, said the project would reach peak production of around 175,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2019.
