In Nigeria, indigenous firm Oando plc and the government of Rivers state are close to the completion of an 8.5 km expansion of the natural gas distribution network in the Port Harcourt Franchise Area from the Above-Ground Installation (AGI) in Trans-Amadi to BUA Sugar Refineries (BUA).
The pipeline is being undertaken by the Central Horizon Gas Company (CHGC), a firm set up by Oando and the Rivers state government, focused on the rehabilitation, operation, and expansion of the existing natural gas distribution network in Greater Port Harcourt City and the Trans-Amadi area.
The pipeline is expected to boost BUA’s productivity, provide substantial cost-savings and open the state for a new wave of industrialization via natural gas utilization.
Oando’s gas integration strategy includes methods of transmission and distribution to fulfill market requirements, while the development period for the implementation of the Nigerian Gas Master Plan elapses.
