President Bola Tinubu will commission three critical gas infrastructure projects undertaken by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and its partners.
They 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. The gas projects have a combined estimated output of 1,400 million standard cubic feet per day.
Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement he signed Friday titled ‘President Tinubu to commission critical gas infrastructure projects.’
“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,” said Ngelale.
The AHL Gas Processing Plant 2 is an expansion to the Kwale Gas Processing Plant, 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. However, the facility already injecting gas is scheduled to ramp up to 180mmscfd by the end of May.
Ngelale said this additional 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.”
The AHL Gas Plant is being developed by AHL Limited, an incorporated Joint Venture owned by NNPC Limited and SEEPCO.
Meanwhile, 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 plant will significantly increase the domestic gas supply, leading to increased power generation and accelerated industrialisation.
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.
With the facility mechanically completed in December 2023, the NNPC says it is finalising pre-commissioning activities.
Third is the ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Project, which the Presidency said involves the engineering, procurement, and construction of 36”x23.3km ANOH-OB3 Project.
“The Transmission Gas Pipeline will evacuate 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,” read the statement.
About 600MMscf/d is estimated 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 scheduled for mechanical completion by May 15, 2024.
When commissioned, 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
