President Bola Tinubu will launch three important gas infrastructure projects that are being worked on by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and partners.
The unveiling is in accordance with the President’s promise to greatly use gas to expand the economy.
The project aims to assist the Federal Government's work to increase value from the country's gas reserves while stopping gas flaring.
This information was shared in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, and posted on his Facebook page on Friday.
As per the statement, the completion of the projects was sped up from the start of the administration to support the overall goal of enhancing the domestic gas supply as a crucial driver for economic success.
Below are the projects set to be inaugurated:
(1) AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 (GPP – 2) – 200mmscf/d
This project is an expansion of the Kwale Gas Processing Plant (GPP – 1), which presently supplies about 130MMscf/d of gas to the local market. The processing plant is designed to process 200MMscf/d of rich gas and deliver lean gas through the OB3 Gas Pipeline. This additional gas supply will support further rapid industrialization of Nigeria. The plant will also produce about 160,000 MTPA of Propane and 100,000 MTPA of Butane, which will reduce the dependency on LPG Imports. The AHL Gas Plant is being developed by AHL Limited, a joint venture owned by NNPC Limited and SEEPCO.
(2) ANOH Gas Processing Plant (AGPC) – 300MMscf/d
The ANOH gas plant is an integrated 300MMscf/d capacity gas processing plant designed to process non-associated gas from the Assa North-Ohaji South field in Imo State. The plant will produce dry gas, condensate, and LPG. The gas from the ANOH gas plant will significantly increase the domestic gas supply, leading to increased power generation and accelerated industrialization. The ANOH Gas Plant is being developed by ANOH Gas Processing Company, a joint venture owned by NNPC Limited and Seplat Energy Plc on a 50-50 basis.
(3) ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Project
The project includes the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 36”x23.3km ANOH-OB3 Project. The Transmission Gas Pipeline will transport dry gas from the Assa North-Ohaji South (ANOH) primary treatment facility (PTF) to the OB3 Custody Transfer Metering Station (CTMS) for delivery into the OB3 pipeline system. About 600MMscf/d is estimated to be available from two separate 2 x 300MMscf/d capacity gas processing production trains from AGPC & SPDC JV.
Upon inauguration, the projects will increase gas supply to the domestic market by approximately 500mmscf/d, creating a better investment atmosphere and promoting balanced economic growth overall.
