BMT Group Ltd.s’ BMT Asia Pacific (BMT) has been appointed owners engineer and lead design consultant by Endeavor Energy for the development of the LNG storage and regasification facility, a part of the Ghana 1000 gas-to-power project and Africa’s first LNG import terminal.
Endeavor is co-leading development with GE, Eranove and local partner Sage Petroleum with the aim of providing the Ghanaian government with sub-Saharan Africa’s largest power park, providing more than 1,000 MW to the national grid once completed.
Excelerate Energy is providing assistance in siting the floating LNG terminal infrastructure, engineering and providing the dedicated floating LNG regasification vessel – FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit) to supply gas to the power plant, an integrated gas to power solution that is expected to lower the costs of electricity and provide additional gas for other consumers.
BMT will be working closely with Endeavor and Excelerate Energy in conducting FEED level studies which include operability assessments, infrastructure design and optimization studies for the supply of gas from the offshore moored FSRU via subsea infrastructure to the onshore gas turbines at Aboadze, Ghana.
Feedstock for the project is expected to come from Shell, who in March entered into exclusive SPA negotiations regarding a long-term supply agreement LNG.
The five-year project is expected to boost Ghana’s power generation capacity by 50% from the current 2,000 MW installed capacity.
