Tinubu to commission three gas projects, targets production increase 

They include 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 overall output from the gas projects is anticipated to be 1,400 million standard cubic feet per day.

Ajuri Ngelale, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, announced this in a statement on 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 enlargement of the Kwale Gas Processing Plant, which currently provides approximately 130 million metric tonnes per day of gas to the domestic market.

The processing plant is designed to process 200 million cubic feet per day of rich gas and distribute lean gas via the OB3 Gas Pipeline. However, the plant that is currently injecting gas is set to increase to 180 mmscfd by the end of May.

According to Ngelale, the additional gas supply will “support further rapid industrialization 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, a joint venture between NNPC Limited and SEEPCO.

Meanwhile, the ANOH gas plant, with a capacity of 300 MMscf/d, is planned to treat non-associated gas from Imo State’s Assa North-Ohaji South fields.

The plant will produce dry gas, condensate, and LPG. The gas from the ANOH facility will greatly boost the domestic gas supply, resulting in more power generation and faster industrialization.

The ANOH Gas Plant is being developed by ANOH Gas Processing Company, a 50/50 joint venture between NNPC Limited and Seplat Energy Plc.

The third project is the ANOH-OB3 CTMS Gas Pipeline Project, which, according to the Presidency, includes 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 primary treatment facility to the OB3 Custody Transfer Metering Station for delivery into the OB3 pipeline system,” read the statement.
