  "summary": "Nigeria's gross natural gas production in the first half of 2026 increased by 18.36% compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 1,426,237.86 MMSCF. This growth was driven primarily by the surge in Non-Associated Gas (NAG) production, which accounted for 50.31% of total volumes produced and rose by 40.42% from H1 2024 levels. The overall gas utilisation rate reached a record 92.75%, the highest in the three-year period, while export sales contributed significantly to the growth in production.",
