Weekly Mont Belvieu Propane–Butane Market Update – November 28th, 2025
Weekly Average LPG Prices:
24/11/2025: Propane $309.5 | Butane $388.4
25/11/2025: Propane $298.8 | Butane $379.7
26/11/2025: Propane $310.6 | Butane $393.3
LPG Prices – Market Remains Directionless
The week was characterised by the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday and technical glitches on a major trading platform (CME), which limited market activity and left LPG prices without any clear directional trend. Both propane and butane recorded only marginal declines.
Propane: averaged $306.3/MT, down 0.78% from last week’s $308.7/MT.
Butane: averaged $387.1/MT, down 1.8% from last week’s $394.2/MT.
Crude Oil – Mixed Performance as Market Awaits OPEC+ Decision
Crude oil prices posted modest gains last week amid delays in Russia–Ukraine peace negotiations. The market is also closely watching today’s OPEC+ meeting, which is widely expected to leave production volumes unchanged.
Weekly Close:
WTI: $59.12 (up from $57.0)
Brent: $63.26 (up from $62.12)
Outlook: A sub-$60 per barrel environment remains a strong possibility, considering prevailing market signals and geopolitical uncertainties.
Nigeria LPG Market – Depot Prices Drop Further as Cargoes Hit Port Harcourt
Nigeria’s LPG market recorded additional price declines, with products selling as low as ₦17 million per 20MT at NAVGAS and Rainoil. In Port Harcourt, fresh LPG cargoes were delivered, yet prices remained elevated at up to ₦19.9 million per 20MT, indicating continued under-supply in the eastern corridor.
Despite these developments, prices may rebound as some Apapa depots run out of stock and Dangote sales slow. Dangote offtakers sold at about ₦16.5 million per 20MT.
Based on current estimates, the landing cost for imported LPG is around ₦17.5 million per 20MT, which should act as a practical floor price (excluding Dangote) as we approach December.
Retail Cooking Gas – Prices Stable Nationwide
Retail prices remained largely unchanged, with most locations selling between ₦1,300–₦1,500/kg nationwide.
However, prices are expected to rise as the festive season draws closer.
