Atuabo Gas processing plant resumes operations

Audio By Carbonatix

The Atuabo Gas Processing Plant, which was shut down for maintenance has resumed work following completion of the requisite works on Wednesday, April 29, 2015.

Ghana Gas thus resumed processing, production and supply of various gas products on Thursday April 30, 2015 following re-introduction of raw natural gas from the Jubilee Field’s FPSO Kwame Nkrumah to the plant.

Subsequent supply to the downstream off-takers began the same day.

Ghana Gas is collaborating with the Volta River Authority to manage the transition to full production within the coming days as the VRA progressively increases its offtake of processed lean gas for power production in the Aboadze Thermal Power enclave.

In a statement, the Board and Management of Ghana Gas commended its plant engineers and other stakeholders for their diligence and commitment to duty in completing the works ahead of schedule.

With the resumption of work, it expected power generation will see some improvements to ease the power crisis.
