Victoria Oil & Gas’ (VOG) wholly owned subsidiary in Cameroon, Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) has issued completion certificates to ENEO Cameroon S.A. (ENEO), Cameroon’s power utility company, for all pipeline construction work and pressure reduction and metering stations (PRMS) at both the Logbaba and Bassa power stations located in Douala.
The work has been completed ahead of the scheduled March 15 target date and GDC is ready to connect to the gas-fired electricity generations sets (Gensets) that are being installed by equipment partner, Altaaqa Alternative Solutions Projects DWC-LLC.
Approximately 1.4km of 400-mm diameter pipeline was connected from the Magzi – Bassa valve station, of which 1.3 km was open trenching and 100 m horizontal directional drilling. VOG reported that the most challenging aspect of this work was traffic management on the Logbaba road, which is part of the main traffic artery from Logbaba to Douala.
The pipeline pressure tests, consisting of hydrostatic tests and pneumatic tests were successfully completed and certified by Veritas. The pipeline is now “gassed up” and ready for delivery of gas. The completion of these milestones confirms that GDC has met all of its contractual responsibilities under the Construction Term Sheet signed by GDC and ENEO on December 29, 2014.
Twenty-two Gensets with a combined net capacity of 28.6MW for the project have arrived and been cleared through Cameroon Customs by Altaaqa and ENEO at Douala Port. Sixteen of these Gensets are now onsite at the Bassa power station and six units at the Logbaba power station for installation by Altaaqa. The remaining 17 Gensets are scheduled to arrive in Douala on March 15 and will be installed at Logbaba station. Target completion date for installation and commissioning of the total 50MW remains the end of March 2015.
