Shell has agreed to sell its entire interest in the Shell Nigeria Gas Group, a domestic gas distribution business, to Nigerian firm Vaaris Energy as part of a portfolio simplification to focus on strategic deepwater and integrated gas positions in Nigeria.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Shell's exit from domestic gas distribution opens a prime opportunity for Nigerian energy firms to expand quickly. You should reach out to Vaaris Energy and similar players for partnerships or supply chain shifts as local gas demand grows.
