Power generation at the weekend spiked with the completion of the SONAM Non-associated Gas Well Platform Production Topside Module by Niger Dock Plc.
The exercise was part of the Domestic Supply Obligation(DSO)-MEREN Gas Gathering Compression Platform and SONAM Non-associated Gas Wellhead Platform sponsored by Chevron and the NNPC.
Chairman of Nigerdock and the Jagal Group, Anwar Jamarkani, who spoke at the completions and load-out of the topside ceremony in Lagos, said that a total of 3,268,537 manhours were expended on the project which has an overall tonnage of 3,500 tonnes.
He said:“All of these structures are required to deliver a combined cubic feet per day of natural gas to Chevron’s Excravos Gas Project which provides feedstock for power generation, a major demand for Nigeria’s power sector”
He also said that the project will significantly eliminate gas flaring from the project sponsor’s assets in fulfillment of government’s gas flaring policy. According to him, the project will further attract gas investment opportunities, thereby boosting present administration’s effort to diversify the economy from crude oil proceeds.
“We are truly humbled to play a part in such a landmark achievements which will no doubt have a transformative effect on our country.However, we believe we can do much more and raise the bar,” he said.
Nigerdock is prepared to take on even more ambitious projects and “we commit not to rest on our laurels but to ensure that Nigerians have something to be proud of,” he said.
