Nigeria’s LNG deliveries rose about 30% year on year from January to October 2026, adding roughly 5 billion cubic metres to global supply and reaching their highest level since 2020. The increase came from improved feedgas availability and higher use of existing liquefaction trains, rather than new capacity.
Additional Nigerian cargoes increase available global LNG supply and can temper price pressure, although the increase is modest relative to the reported decline in global LNG trade.
After 62 past bearish report events, Natural Gas moved a median -3.0% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -7.6% to +4.6%), and -0.5% over 20.
