President Bola Tinubu will commission three critical gas infrastructure projects being undertaken by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and partners.
The projects support the federal government’s effort to grow value from the nation’s gas assets while eliminating gas flaring.
Special Adviser to the President, Ajuri Ngelale in a statement issued Friday said 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.
He noted that the projects lined up for commissioning include: AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 (GPP – 2) – 200mmscf/d
Ngilale said the project was an expansion to the Kwale Gas Processing Plant (GPP – 1), which currently supplies about 130MMscf/d of gas to the domestic market.
He added that the processing plant was designed to process 200MMscf/d of rich gas and deliver lean gas through the OB3 Gas Pipeline, stressing that his additional gas supply would support further rapid industrialization of Nigeria.
He said the plant would 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.
Other projects slated for commissioning are: ANOH Gas Processing Plant (AGPC) – 300MMscf/d; and ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Project
