GAS SUPPLY
 
Feedgas is  produced  by the JVs from various concession areas in the Niger Delta,  from on- and off-shore fileds, where a large chunk of Nigeria’s proven and probable gas reserves (of 187 tcf)  are situated.  The gas supply agreements ensure efficient gas supply to the plant.

SPDC Joint Venture is currently supplying feedgas from several fields including Soku, BNAG, Awoba, Cawthorne Channel (on-shore), and Bonga, EA (off-shore) fields.
In future, the current supply will be supplemented by associated and non-associated gas from other gas fields such as Forcados Yokri and Odidi.  The Gbaran/Ubie fields will also be deployed by SPDC to bring in additional volumes for the six-train complex, and to compensate for depletion of existing older fields. 

The Elf Joint Venture derives the gas supplied to the Plant from the Obite, Ibewa and  Obagi on-shore fields. Additionally rich gas from the off-shore Amenam field is sent to NLNG, and this will further increase with the addition and connection of another off-shore source, Akpo in 2009.
The NAOC Joint Venture supplies gas mainly from Mbede and Obiafu-Obrikom fields.  Omoku, Ebegoro, Ogbogene and Ebocha are available as supplementary fields. NAOC will also deliver gas through supply nodes in Tuomo, Tebidaba and Ebocha / Irri fields.

Train 6 will require 670 MMscfd of additional feedgas. This will raise the total gas requirement of the company’s Bonny Island natural gas liquefaction plant to 3500MMscfd.
The gas is transmitted to the 6 Train complex through 6 independent pipeline systems.  GTS-1/2/4 and  BNAG piping systems are on-shore, while GTS-3 and -5 are off-shore lines.
