The Ghana National Gas Company has signed an agreement with JV partners to construct a second gas processing plant (GPP Train 2) at an estimated cost of US$700 million.

As reported by the Ghana News Agency, the plant will have a nominal capacity of 150 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd), expandable to 300 MMscfd, and will process incremental raw gas volumes from the Greater Jubilee and TEN fields.

The facility forms part of the company’s strategic development plan and is expected to increase the national gas processing capacity to 450 MMscfd. Once on-stream, the plant will improve the output of liquids processed from natural gas to 80%, compared to the existing facility, which produces between 40% and 50% of gas liquids.

Situated at Atuabo in the Ellembele District of Ghana’s Western Region, the plant is due to be completed within 24 months.
