President Bola Tinubu is set to commission three critical gas infrastructure projects being undertaken by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and partners in line with his commitment to significantly leverage gas to grow the economy.
Ajuri Ngelale, the special adviser on media and publicity to
the President said in a statement on Friday that the projects support the
federal government’s effort to grow value from the nation’s gas assets while
eliminating gas flaring.
According to him, the delivery of the projects was
accelerated from the inception of the administration in keeping with the
overall objective of deepening domestic gas supply as a critical enabler for
economic prosperity.
The critical projects undertaken by NNPCL, partners are in
line with the commitment of President Tinubu to leverage gas to grow the
economy,
He listed the projects to be commissioned by President
Tinubu to include the AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 (GPP – 2) – 200mmscf/d, an
expansion to the Kwale Gas Processing Plant (GPP – 1), which currently supplies
about 130MMscf/d of gas to the domestic market.
According to th statement, 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, an
incorporated Joint Venture owned by NNPC Limited and SEEPCO.
Also to be commissioned by Tinubu is the ANOH Gas Processing
Plant (AGPC) – 300MMscf/d, 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, according to the statement will produce dry gas,
condensate, and LPG. The gas from ANOH gas plant will significantly increase
domestic gas supply, leading to increased power generation and accelerated
industrialization.
The ANOH Gas Plant is being developed by ANOH Gas Processing
Company, an incorporated Joint Venture owned by NNPC Limited and Seplat Energy
Plc on a 50-50 basis.
The critical projects undertaken by NNPCL, partners are in
line with the commitment of President Tinubu to leverage gas to grow the
economy.
President Tinubu will also commission the ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas
Pipeline Project which involves the engineering, procurement, and construction
of 36”x23.3km ANOH-OB3 Project.
According to the statement, the Transmission Gas Pipeline
will evacuate dry gas from the Assa North-Ohaji South (ANOH) primary treatment
facility (PTF) to 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.
Ngelale added that the projects to be commissioned by Tinubu
will increase gas supply to the domestic market by approximately 500mmscf/d,
creating a better investment climate and promoting balanced economic growth
cumulatively.
