AbujaChevron and Shell’s Nigerian units reported identical methane emissions for 2022.
The figures form the baseline against which Nigeria’s 60% methane-cut pledge will be judged.
An independent review found only 12 of 30 company-year records fill all three methane fields, and blanks cannot be told from zeros.
The extractive industries transparency body says greenhouse gas reporting is voluntary, and it did not recalculate or verify submissions.
It says it will run an internal review and reflect corrections in the published data.
