Cooking gas retail and refill
Cylinder refill and exchange for households and small businesses, priced by the kilogramme and weighed in front of the customer. Sizes run from the 3 kg starter cylinder to the 50 kg commercial cylinder.
Neutron Group/Neutron Petroleum Limited
Neutron Petroleum Limited
Downstream oil and gas. We sell cooking gas to Nigerian households and deliver it to the door, and we are building the storage and franchise base to carry more of the downstream market.
Flagship brand
Cooking gas, delivered when we promised.
A household orders a refill and picks a window. The cylinder is weighed at the door, and the empty one goes back with the rider on the same visit.

How an order runs
- 01Customer orders a refill and picks a delivery window.
- 02A rider arrives with a sealed, in-date cylinder.
- 03The cylinder is weighed in front of the customer.
- 04The empty is collected on the same visit.
What the company does
Five lines of business, built in order.
Retail funds delivery. Delivery proves the franchise. The franchise justifies the storage. Storage opens everything after it.
Scheduled home delivery
Customers order a refill and choose a delivery window. Riders carry sealed, weighed cylinders, and the empty is collected on the same visit. No queueing at a plant, and no guessing at the weight.
Neutron Gas franchise
Independent operators run a Neutron Gas territory under our brand, supply, safety standards and ordering system. The franchise is how the network reaches beyond the streets our own riders cover.
Bulk storage and dispensing
A 10-tonne underground LPG storage and dispensing station is in development. Owned storage shortens the supply chain, steadies price to the customer and opens autogas and commercial dispensing.
Wider downstream trade
The company is preparing to trade further downstream lines, including white products and lubricants, once storage and licensing are in place.
Why cooking gas
Nigerian households are still moving off kerosene and firewood, and cooking gas is the cleaner option they can afford. Demand is steady, it repeats every few weeks, and it does not wait for the economy to improve.
The problem has never been demand. It has been trust. Customers worry about short weight at the plant, about the age of the cylinder, and about waiting half a day for a refill. Neutron Gas answers all three: the cylinder is weighed in front of the customer, the seal is intact, and the delivery lands in a window the customer chose.
What we really sell is reliability, and that is why we built the ordering and routing tools ourselves rather than buying them in.
