Seplat Petroleum Development Co, in its latest Interim Statement, reported that the commissioning work has been completed for the new 150 Mmscf/d Oben gas plant. The company revealed that gas has been introduced to the system and final pre-start up audits and checks are underway.
This expansion of the processing capacity at Oben is a major step forward for Seplat’s gas business and increases gas supply available to the domestic market in Nigeria.
Seplat also said that the construction of two 50,000 barrel storage tanks at the Amukpe field is progressing, with one at 90% complete and the other 74% complete. The company expects to commission the tanks and ancillary plant in Q2.
Additionally, the Ovhor-Amukpe associated gas compressor is fully operational with continual gaslift enhancing production. Modification work is ongoing at the liquid treatment facility to address issues with the composition of separated water to enable full continuous injection.
