The Volta River Authority (VRA) requested the Ghana National Gas Company (Ghana Gas) on 27 November 2015 to resume gas supply to its Aboadze Thermal enclave for power generation.
The request is a result of the successful tie-in to the VRA’s main gas pipeline, which is expected to feed the AMERI plant once it is ready to generate electricity.
Ghana Gas has, therefore, begun the supply of an average 109 million standard cubic feet of gas (mmscf) a day to Aboadze. The gas supply is expected to help VRA generate about 600 Megawatts of power to the national grid and improve the current energy situation.
The Atuabo Gas Processing Plant has also resumed continuous production of LPG and Condensate.
Ghana Gas was supplying up to 115 mmscf of lean gas to VRA from the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant before the curtailment in supply of gas to Aboadze on 23rd November 2015 at the request of the VRA.
The Atuabo Gas Processing Plant has the capacity to process 150 mmscf of raw gas a day from the Jubilee Field through the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah, out of which 135 mmscf of lean gas is expected to be delivered to the VRA. The current maximum operating capacity of the FPSO Kwame Nkrumah is 120 mmscf of raw gas a day.
