Gas Supply From Nigeria To Ghana, Others Drops by Truth234(m): 5:29am On May 21, 2017
The West African gas pipeline has yet to recover from the impact of militant attacks on oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta as gas flowing into it have been significantly curtailed.

The $1bn gas pipeline, operated by the West Africa Pipeline Company Limited, was built to supply natural gas from Nigeria to customers in Benin, Togo and Ghana.

Last year, Nigeria saw a resurgence of militant attacks in the Niger Delta that caused the nation’s production to plummet to a near 30-year low and disrupted gas supply to power plants.

The Managing Director, WAPCo, Mr. Walter Perez, told our correspondent that the company’s operation was severely affected by the militancy in the Niger Delta.

“Our business is still in place but the gas volumes have been significantly curtailed,” he said on the sidelines of the inauguration of the Ajido Community Health Centre in Badagry.

Perez noted that the continued shutdown of the Trans Forcados Pipeline had affected gas supply to the gas pipeline.

He said, “What we see is that the militancy is being addressed properly and that the volumes will come back.

“My understanding is that Forcados handles liquids that come from production of crude oil and so associated gas, as it is called, that has been connected to the facility, is not being available in the quantity that it was available prior to the militancy. Yes, it definitely affected our business, we believe. But we hope and pray that one day that will be a thing of the past.”

Commenting on the debt owed by Ghana for the supply of gas through the pipeline, the WAPCo MD said, “We are delivering gas now because we put arrangement in place for Ghana to prepay for the deliveries that they receive, and so that is working. We have every expectation that this will continue to work.

“There is a new government in Ghana, and so we are working with that government to understand what the situation is as we develop plans to retire the debt that they have accumulated.”

Ghana gets about 25 per cent of its power supply through gas from Nigeria, which flows through the pipeline via Benin and Togo. It has a deal with Nigeria to receive a contractual 120 million standard cubic feet of gas daily.

According to Perez, there is enough gas in Nigeria to supply all of Africa for a long time, with reserves of 187 trillion cubic feet of gas in the country.

He disclosed that WAPCo was considering “a pipeline enlargement whereby we will be reversing the flow on the West Africa gas pipeline.”

He also said, “When the pipeline was built, it was constructed so that the gas from Escravos and Utorogu (in Nigeria) can flow into our pipeline in a place called Itoki in Ogun State. Now, we envision that gas will enter the pipeline from many locations, the first of which is Takoradi (Ghana).

“One time, Takoradi was thought to be the major offtaker for the West Africa gas pipeline. At this point, in a year’s time, we will be reversing the flow from Takoradi to Tema using the West African gas pipeline. No one ever conceived that our asset will be used like this.”

Noting that gas would play a more prominent role in the world, Perez said, “You see liquefied natural gas being available almost everywhere. We are a gas pipeline company; we operate in four countries and the pipelines exist in the major load centres in each of the four countries.

“So, we think we are very well-positioned so that when the market grows, we will be able to meet the needs of the communities. I think gas is definitely a big part of the future for our economy.”

Nonsense! We are still battling epileptic power due to gas shortage and we are selling what we would have used in improving gas supply to our power plants to countries who have stable power supply than us. Why are our leaders heartless?
I believe Obasanjo who approved this contract when he was still President must definitely have a stake in it. Our leaders are just too egocentric, this arrangement is just a hoax.

We have the resources no doubt, but poor management. Applies to many other sectors as well.

We constantly experience poor power supply in this crap of a country because of gas shortages and yet we boast of how we have enough gas to supply Africa?

This nonsense 'big brother' role is hurting Nigeria big time. As far as this issue of gas supply is concerned,Ghana is heavily indebted to the FRN and they are yet to off-set it yet we have kept on supplying them. Why do we keep doing things that hurt the country and benefit our 'neighbours'? The FG has got to sit up. This unsavoury culture has got to end. Gas is neither cheap nor free.

We are diversifying. At snail pace. You don't think it is gonna be that easy,do you? We should have set out on the road to diversification long ago when the climate was right for it(high oil prices and all). Imagine we had spent money from the various windfalls on other sectors of the economy. By now we would have been reaping massively and not talking about recession and diversification. We are paying the price for failing to plan ahead. It is never too late to get on with it though.

The gas is never supplied for free,it is paid for even though there are occasional delays.
The price at which gas is sold to Ghana is more than what is sold to you guys

Re: Gas Supply From Nigeria To Ghana, Others Drops by Nobody: 9:18am On May 21, 2017
@lethalbeast the facts are there,man. You guys have been defaulting in paying your debts. Unfortunately,our slow-poke leaders have been way too soft on every issue including this one here. I learnt a thing or two from those NDA guys on how to stop the flow to you guys though:stop the flow to the defaulters. I like that idea. Only our leaders don't. Meanwhile,don't come here and tell us you have been paying all along cos information at my disposal points to the contrary. You and your kontreymen should desist,henceforth,from peddling false information and misrepresentations because we over here have had enough of the lies on Earth. First,our leaders and now you guys?!
Re: Gas Supply From Nigeria To Ghana, Others Drops by Nobody: 9:34am On May 21, 2017
@leathalbeast I believe you read the portion of the article that said something about discussing with the new government in your country on "debt retirement"? If you guys have been "paying" as you said then would there have been need for such discussions? Delete that unsavoury part of your comment/post that said stuff about "paying for the gas" because it smacks of lies and deceit. You people haven't paid for a long while.
