Plant (consisting of two trains: Trains 1 and 2, called the Base Project), the Gas Transmission System (GTS) and the Residential Area (RA). With six trains currently operational, the entire complex is capable of producing 22 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG, and 5 mtpa of NGLs Construction at the plant site commenced in February 1996 and on August 12, from 3.5 Billion (standard) cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) of natural gas intake. 1999, Train 2 was ready for start-up. Production of LNG commenced on September 15. Train 1 subsequently came on stream on February 27, 2000. Plans for building Train 7 that will lift the total production capacity to 30 mtpa of The second phase of development, called Expansion Project, commenced with LNG are currently progressing. FID for Train 7 was taken in December 2019, an FID in February 1999 to develop Train 3 and the plant's Natural Gas Liquids paving the way for the signing of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (NGLs) Handling Unit (LHU) — condensate stabilisation and Liqueed Contracts with SCD JV Consortium, comprised of afliates of Saipem, Chiyoda Petroleum Gas (LPG) production units.

Train 6 Following Train 6 Final Investment Decision (FID), six LNG vessels were built and delivered at a combined cost of USD957 million on long term charter to NLNG.
The vessels were built at Daewoo Shipyard and Samsung Shipyard in South Korea. Four of the vessels were chartered from BW GAS Asa of Norway and two from NYK LNG (Atlantic) Ltd of Japan.
EXPANDED BUSINESS Production from the six train plant approaches name-plate capacity and LNG is now delivered to more distant destinations, in response to changing business opportunities. As a result, additional shipping capacity became necessary.
In April 2013, Bonny Gas Transport ordered six new vessels to be constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries (two ships) and Samsung Heavy Industries (four ships). Three vessels were delivered in 2015, with the last three delivered in NLNG's management, staff, board and shareholders at FID signing for Train 7 2016.

To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and its own HSE policy, NLNG has adopted the principle of minimisation through abatement at source for aqueous efuents which have the potential of causing negative impact on the receiving environment.
Sewage Treatment and Disposal NLNG in 2018 contracted a consultant to build a new and bigger Efuent Treatment Plant (ETP). Sewage and Efuent from both The Industrial Area and Residential Area are treated in this facility prior to discharge into the recipient water body.

The company therefore ensures the proper management of its hazardous waste using the best practical environmental options after approvals from the federal and state ministries of environment. Other waste management initiatives currently pursued by NLNG particularly for hazardous waste include the use of buyback and recovery schemes with original manufacturers.
Emissions to Air For emissions to air, the principle adopted is minimisation through abatement at source. Dispersion modelling was employed in initial environmental investigations to predict possible areas of deposition of treatment and disposal activities. The principle adopted for solid waste is pollutant species for regulated parameters that could potentially be generated 'Cradle to Grave', which is essentially the proper and controlled handling, from NLNG's operations. For us to monitor our operational foot print, there is treatment and disposal of solid waste, underpinned by the 4R philosophy of continuous ambient air quality monitoring, while stack emissions monitoring Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Recover.

Petroleum Development Company Limited (SPDC) and Exxon Mobil, signed an MOU with Bonny Kingdom. This MOU provided a framework which A major step in this regard is the signing of a new MOU between Bonny enabled the JIC to pool resources and provide the kingdom with Bonny Master Kingdom and NLNG/SPDC on 3rd October, 2015. This MOU sets out the Plan, the 1.5km by-pass road, the 1.2km access road, uninterrupted basis for community-led development under the auspices of a proposed Bonny electricity and potable water supply managed through a special purpose Kingdom Development Foundation and the transfer/handover of the following vehicle called Bonny Utility Company (BUC). Over the years, more than $182m has been spent by the JIC in delivering development projects on the Island.
In spite of this, there were still agitations for economic empowerment, employment and infrastructural development in the area. It also became apparent that there was wholesome reliance on the JIC for economic development of the Kingdom.
