Delta To Get $700m Methanol Plant by wesley80(m): 6:59am On Nov 20, 2012

Gulf of Guinea Oil Exploration Limited (GGOEX) has announced the establishment of a $700 million (N109.02 billion) methanol plant in Nigeria in 2015. The plant, with a capacity of 850,000 metric tonnes of Methanol productions annually will be the largest in West Africa. The company said it has selected the Mitsubishi Methanol Process (MMP) as process technology for the establishment of the plant. The “Delta Methanol Plant” has a nameplate capacity of 2,500 metric tons of Federal Grade AA Methanol per day which is a key product for the chemical and petrochemical industry in the production of Acetic Acid (solvents), MTBE (octane enhancer), Formaldehyde (resins, adhesives) and others. The new plant is expected to come online in 2015. The project will be the first commercial-scale installation of the MMP process in Methanol production technologies in West Africa and would be located at the Gas Industrial park in Delta State. The cost of the project will debt-equity financed by International Financial Corporation (IFC) and fund syndication from local banks. GGOEX is currently processing a Due Diligence Assessment with the Gas Aggregation Company of Nigeria (GACN) and discussions with the Federal Government of Nigeria are on-going. The project is expected to enhance the monetization of Nigeria’s huge Gas potentials. Project Co-coordinator, Emmanuel Ejemurua, an engineer disclosed that the objective is to develop, own and operate Nigeria’s first methanol manufacturing and exporting plant, in accordance with the aspirations of Nigeria’s Gas revolution for the diversification of the country’s economy and development of midstream industries from gas resources. He also stated that global demand for methanol was growing at around 4 percent annually. “The Delta Methanol Plant is ideally located to supply its major export markets in Europe and expectations are high that it will produce a competitive product, bring added value to society and further contribute to industrial growth in Nigeria.” GGOEX is an Integrated Energy Company established to take advantage of the opportunities available in the Gulf of Guinea by engaging in the exploration, development and production of Gas Assets in established and emerging frontiers in the Gulf of Guinea.

I have always believed in the economic prospects of the South-South region of the country, their last concluded 'BRACED SUMMIT' was indeed an eye-opener for those who want to invest big time in the region. I must have my company in that region, precisely Cross River and Akwa-Ibom! 'BRACED' means;
B - Bayelsa
R - Rivers
A - Akwa-Ibom
C - Cross River
E - Edo
D - Delta

and where were u when i rated the Retardeen 9% since the beginning of this admin? if he is completely idle, i would have rated him 0%
Whatever he may be doing is still so minute and nothing to write home about especially when u place it side by side with the resources at his disposal (economic/human/financial)

If a honest analysis of your entire life accomplishments so far were to be rated using same yardstick used in scoring GEJ 9%, what do you think you'll score? Honestly now.

fyi, watch out for underground water contamination issues


Legislation and litigation in the U.S.
Main article: Methyl tert-butyl ether controversy

MTBE removal from groundwater and soil contamination in the U.S. is estimated to cost from $1 billion[14] to $30 billion,[15] including removing the compound from aquifers and municipal water supplies and replacing leaky underground oil tanks. In one case, the cost to oil companies to clean up the MTBE in wells belonging to Santa Monica is estimated to exceed $200 million.[16] In another case, the City of New York estimated a $250 million cost for cleanup of a single wellfield in Queens, NY.[17]

MTBE is banned in the US states of California and New York, starting January 1, 2004. As of September 2005, twenty-five states had signed legislation banning MTBE. (A table of state by state information, as of 2007, is available at the United States Department of Energy website.[18])

In 2000, the U.S. EPA drafted plans to phase out the use of MTBE nationwide over four years. As of fall 2006, hundreds of lawsuits are still pending regarding MTBE contamination of public and private drinking water supplies.


The Energy Policy Act of 2005, passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, did not include a provision for shielding MTBE manufacturers from water contamination lawsuits. This provision was first proposed in 2003 and had been thought by some to be a priority of Tom DeLay and Rep. Joe Barton, then chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee.[19] This bill did include a provision that gives MTBE makers, including some major oil companies, $2 billion in transition assistance as MTBE is phased out over the next nine years.[20] Due to opposition in the Senate,[21] the conference report dropped all MTBE provisions. The final bill was passed by both houses and signed into law by President Bush.[22] The lack of MTBE liability protection is resulting in a switchover to the use of ethanol as a gasoline additive. Some traders and consumer advocates are blaming this for an increase in gasoline prices.[23]

The U.S. EPA currently lists MTBE as a candidate for a maximum contaminant level (MCL) in drinking water.[24] MCLs are determined by the EPA using toxicity data.

This is not the first time we've heard some bogus white elephant project by the Government. Infact some few years back we heard the Delta tourism project and a touted processing plant somewhere in Koko, has anybody seen these projects seen the light of day? I don't want to sound too critical of these administration but i detest a situation where Deltans are taken for a roller-coaster ride all in the name of propaganda projects. Until i glaringly start seeing these projects up and running...THEY SHOULD GO AND BOIL IGNEOUS ROCKS for all i care. **kparanga on my mind**

There is already a functioning Methanol Plant in Bioko Island in Equitorial Guinea. I wonder if Equitorial Guinea is not in West Africa.
So they should not bambozoo us with this lie

some of your kind is just in existence without reasons. Of what are you if you are for the sake that you are only a human because you have two eyes, two legs etc otherwise you are nothing but empty drum making meaningless noise. Seriously, some of you requires some instructive lessons to convert your entity. What is none of your business, none of my business, so whose business is it? Why must you comment here if it is no body's business?

brother, i do not want to make any comments about delta. Vanguard news paper and very recent punch has blocked my entry into their comments column because of udeaghan stories which are without any single truth. Am not from delta, but i can bet any body on earth that any issues about delta, i swear, can never be true. Now he is busy escavating some of the road, i bet you that these roads cannot last up to the next rainy seasons.

And left to u, u feel u have made sense right? To be honest, i think u are dumb.
If i had given him a figure, how will he be able to ascertain if what i gave was true or not? At the end of the day, he will simply talk crap that has no basis because he knows absolutely nothing about the subject matter. i would have also love him starting from his humble self grin grin
In contrast, the retardeen is different. No body is interested in assessing him as regards his personal life but public life and that explains my convictions.
