Shell Nigeria Gas Limited, SNG, said it has commenced the construction of a huge gas plant in the commercial city of Aba, in Abia, an official said.

SNG, a subsidiary of the Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, said the facility will be used for the transmission and delivery of gas to its business customers in the area.

The Managing Director of SNG, Ed Ubong, stated this in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Friday by the company’s Manager of Media Relations, Bamidele Odugbesan.


“The Aba City Gas Plant will enable SNG to remove more impurities from natural gas as well as odorise the gas to increase quality gas to end users.

“SNG is the first gas distribution company in Nigeria to adopt this technical solution that ensures plant and product integrity.

“The project is the solution to the challenges businesses in the region face with frequent incursion of liquid into the gas pipelines.

“So, it will provide customers top quality gas supply at a reduced cost,” he stated.

The managing director said the plant will produce 10 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd) and expandable to 30mmscfd.

He further said the facility would be powered with 40 megawatts gas-to-power electricity generation capacity that is also expandable to 120 megawatts.

According to Ubong, the company has recently discovered the solution to detecting leakage of Compressed Natural Gas from its pipeline network.

“The introduction of the solution enables the injection of odours into natural gas to facilitate detection in case of gas leak.

“SNG is committed to uninterrupted supply of quality gas to its customers in order to create increased business opportunities for its stakeholders.

“Our development objective remains the creation of greater positive impact in our host communities and the provision of more and cleaner energy,” he stated.

Mr Ubong further said that SNG had recently completed a 20-kilometre gas pipeline expansion project connecting Ogbor Hill, Osisioma and Ariaria areas in Abia.

He said the pipeline currently supplies gas to Ariaria Market Energy Solutions Limited and the Independent Power Project (IPP) consortium that provides electricity to the popular Ariaria market in Abia.

The leader of the project in Aba host community, Eze Onwuka thanked SNG for the facility and promised an enabling environment for the company’s smooth operation in the community.

Once Aba starts having reliable electricity, it will undergo a rapid industrial revolution never seen before in Nigeria.

Mind you the gas is coming from the oil and gas areas of southern Abia state.

Abia, Imo and Anambra all have oil and gas in commercial quantities but some people accuse South East Igbos of wanting Niger delta oil. You cannot want what you already have in abundance.

OfoIgbo:


The largest gas reserves by far in Nigeria are in Igboland.
Imo and Anambra lead the way. Abia and other Igbo areas of the Niger delta, are representing solidly also.

The Igbo communities in Abia and Imo state who had earlier discoveries of oil were cut in Half by the Nigerian government and added to Rivers state.

What the Nigerian Government didn't know at that time was that years later, the other communities that they didn't manipulate with useless boundaries will also discover their own oil in large quantities.

Unfortunately some igbo communities have some of their villages in both the SE and SS because of this evil.

Cashsteady:
