An agreement for the construction of the Train 2 gas processing plant in Ghana has been signed. The deal was signed by the Ghana National Company (GNGC) chief executive officer Dr. Ben KD Asante, and Dr. Hilton John, on behalf of the project’s consortium.
The consortium is made up of the Integrated Logistics Bureau Limited and Jonmoore International. Phoenix Park Limited and the African Finance Corporation also make up the consortium.
The Train 2 gas processing plant in Ghana
This plant will be constructed on the west wing of the existing Train 1. The latter is located at the Atuabo in the Ellembele District of Ghana’s Western region.
The construction of the Train 2 gas processing plant in Ghana is to be completed in the next 24 months. It will cost an estimated $700 million. During its construction phase, the facility is expected to generate about 1500 jobs directly and indirectly in the region.
Upon completion, the facility will have a capacity of 150 million cube feet per meter. It is set to process incremented raw gas volumes from the greater Jubilee and TEN fields. In addition, it will process raw gas with the natural gas liquids being fractionated into pure components like propane, butane, pentane, and stabilized condensate.
According to the GNGC executive officer Dr. Asante, the Train 2 gas processing plant in Ghana will enable Ghana Gas to become a fully integrated gas services company. Moreover, it will enable the company to offer a reliable gas supply in the country and western African countries.
Furthermore, the plant will help increase Ghana’s electricity generating capacity, which will solve the challenges of a power outage.
