Tinubu To Start 3 Major Gas Infrastructure Projects

President Bola Tinubu

PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu is set to launch three critical gas infrastructure projects being carried out by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, and its partners.

This program is consistent with the President's commitment to leveraging gas resources for significant economic growth.

The projects aim to support the federal government's efforts to maximize the value of the country's gas reserves while eliminating gas flaring.

On Friday, May 3, Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, issued a statement conveying this information.

The statement emphasizes that the projects' completion has been pushed since the administration's inception, in line with the larger goal of increasing domestic gas supply as a key engine of economic growth.

The following are the projects to be inaugurated:

(1) AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 (GPP-2) - 200mmscf/d

This project is an expansion to the Kwale Gas Processing Plant (GPP-1), which currently supplies about 130MMscf/d of gas to the domestic 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 ΜΤΡΑ 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.

(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, an incorporated Joint Venture owned by NNPC Limited and Seplat Energy Plc on a 50-50 basis.

(3) АМОН-ОВЗ CTMS Gas Pipeline Project The project involves the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 36"x23.3km ANOH-OB3 Project. The Transmission Gas Pipeline will evacuate 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 are expected to enhance gas supply to the domestic market by approximately 500 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d), fostering a more favorable investment climate and facilitating balanced economic growth over time.
