Unlocking stranded gas: how Equatorial Guinea is building its gas future
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Equatorial Guinea's gas strategy has shifted from managing Alba's decline to positioning Punta Europa as a regional processing and LNG export hub. The Gas Mega Hub model is gaining traction, using existing infrastructure to unlock stranded resources and extend EG LNG's life beyond its original feed gas base. Confirmed Gas Mega Hub phases will contribute around 1 tcf of gas over the next decade but still fall short of fully utilising the plant's liquefaction capacity. The gap makes further feed gas essential. Near-term options are limited: Yoyo-Yolanda, Ebano and a cluster of smaller domestic discoveries offer credible backfill, particularly with proximity to existing infrastructure. The bigger challenge is regional integration. Cameroon's resources could provide medium-term optionality, while the proposed Gulf of Guinea Gas Pipeline from Nigeria could cement Equatorial Guinea's role as a gas hub.
