AT long last! Gas today flowed from the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah to the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant (GPP) despite concerns raised by the Energy Commission and the Wood Group.
Director of Technical Operations at the Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas), Dr. Ben K.B Asante, who confirmed the news this evening however said the concerns raised by the two groups were misplaced.
The Energy Commission over the weekend wrote a letter to Ghana Gas, requesting it to suspend introducing gas into the plant. This follows a technical review of the plant in Atuabo by the Wood Group.
It raised issues about the mechanical completion of the Gas Processing Plant, claiming its mechanical completion dossiers are sub-standard and don’t fully confirm completion of the project.
However Dr. K.B. Asante indicated that Ghanaians could disregard the concerns and rather celebrate the first flow of gas into the plant after months of delay.
The 150 Million Metric Standard Cubic Feet per day capacity GPP is being constructed at Atuabo in the Ellembele District of the Western Region of Ghana.
