Tinubu to commission three gas processing plants

According to the federal government, Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and its partners will commission three important gas infrastructure projects under President Bola Tinubu's direction. 

The ANOH gas processing plant (AGPC), the AHL gas processing plant 2, and the ANOH-OB3 CTMS gas pipeline project are among the projects. 

The presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, said in a statement on Friday that the projects align with the president's pledge to use gas as a major engine of economic growth. 

According to him, the project helps the federal government end gas flaring and increase the value of the country's gas resources.

“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,” Ngelale said

The AHL gas processing plant, he said, is an “expansion to the Kwale Gas Processing Plant (GPP – 1), which currently supplies about 130MMscf/d of gas to the domestic market”. 

According to the spokeswoman, the Delta State processing facility is built to handle 200 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) of rich gas and deliver lean gas via 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 MTPA of Butane, which will reduce the dependency on LPG Imports,” Ngelale said.

“The AHL Gas Plant is being developed by AHL Limited, an incorporated Joint Venture owned by NNPC Limited and SEEPCO.”
