Transadvisory Legal is pleased to announce that it recently acted as legal and transaction advisor to Rolling Energy Limited in the conceptualization, Detailed Engineering Design (DED), and development of twelve (12) major energy infrastructure projects spanning Kano, Kaduna, Borno, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This transformative project is being delivered under a strategic joint venture partnership between Rolling Energy Limited and the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF). It encompasses the development of Liquefied Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG)/Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) mother and daughter stations, Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) stations, and state-of-the-art gas conversion infrastructure across Nigeria.
With an estimated value running into several millions of dollars, the transaction represents one of the most significant private sector-led initiatives in Nigeria’s gas and energy infrastructure space. Importantly, the project is among the first to pioneer the practical implementation of Section 52 of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), 2021, which provides the enabling framework for gas commercialization and infrastructure development in Nigeria’s midstream and downstream sectors.
