President Bola Tinubu will open three important gas infrastructure projects completed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and its partners.
Those are the AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 in Delta State, the ANOH Gas Processing Plant, and the ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Projects in Imo State. Together, these gas projects are expected to produce 1,400 million standard cubic feet per day.
The President's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, revealed this in a statement he released on Friday titled 'President Tinubu to commission critical gas infrastructure projects.'
Ngelale mentioned, “The projects support the federal government’s effort to grow value from the nation’s gas assets while eliminating gas flaring…and deepen domestic gas supply as a critical enabler for economic prosperity.”
The AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 is an expansion of the Kwale Gas Processing Plant, which currently provides about 130MMscf/d of gas to the domestic market.
The processing plant is made to treat 200MMscf/d of rich gas and transport lean gas through the OB3 Gas Pipeline. However, the facility that currently injects gas is planned to increase to 180mmscfd by the end of May.
Ngelale stated that this extra gas supply will “support further rapid industrialisation of Nigeria” and also “produce about 160,000 MTPA of Propane and 100,000 MTPA of Butane, which will reduce the dependency on LPG Imports.”
AHL Gas Plant is being developed by AHL Limited, a Joint Venture owned by NNPC Limited and SEEPCO.
At the same time, the ANOH gas plant is a combined 300MMscf/d capacity gas processing plant designed to process non-associated gas from the Assa North-Ohaji South field in Imo State.
The facility will produce dry gas, condensate, and LPG. The gas from the ANOH plant will substantially increase the domestic gas supply, resulting in 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.
The NNPC says the facility was mechanically completed in December 2023 and it is now finalizing pre-commissioning activities.
Lastly, the ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Project includes the engineering, procurement, and construction of 36”x23.3km ANOH-OB3 Project.
The Transmission Gas Pipeline will move dry gas from the Assa North-Ohaji South primary treatment facility to the OB3 Custody Transfer Metering Station for delivery into the OB3 pipeline system, according to the statement.
About 600MMscf/d is expected to be available from two separate 2 x 300MMscf/d capacity gas processing production trains from AGPC & SPDC JV.
The 23.3km Anoh-OB3 PPL is set to be mechanically completed by May 15, 2024.
Once inaugurated, the projects will increase gas supply to the domestic market by approximately 500mmscf/d, creating a better investment climate and promoting balanced economic growth cumulatively, the Presidential Spokesman affirmed
