Abstract

The abundant of Natural gas reserve in Nigeria places as the seventh largest reserve in the whole world. The gas has wide applicability in Industries and can be used to generate a lot of revenue for the country domestically. Natural Gas reserve is about 187 trillion standard cubic feet per day, while that of Malaysia has 89 trillion standard cubic feet per day. The utilization level of Nigeria is 1billion cubic feet per day with an infrastructural distribution coverage of only 1250km of the country compared with Malaysia 3 billion standard cubic feet per with 2270km infrastructural distribution covering a wide area of Malaysia. This paper examines the availability of this gas reserves in Nigeria vis-à-vis the current level of Natural Gas utilization. Some of the recommendations are; (a) Adequate research into economic usage of natural gas and stoppage of gas flaring to improve the environment, (b) Encouragement of design of automobile that will rely more on consumption of Natural Gas, (c) Sensitizing stakeholders to invest in the upstream and downstream ends in order to harness the wide potentials Natural Gas offers.
