Chapter One Introduction, Administrative & Legal Framework 1.7 Declaration SPDC shall abide with all applicable international conventions, protocols and agreements; national, state and local government laws/regulations and guidelines governing effective environmental management and good practices in the Western Domestic/WAGP Gas Supply Project at Oben Field. 1-11
Chapter Two Project Justification 2.0 <strong>PROJECT</strong> JUSTIFICATION CHAPTER TWO The justification for the Western Domestic/West African Gas Pipeline Upstream Gas Supply Project is provided below 2.1 Need for the Project The West African Pipeline Company (WAPco) is currently engaged in efforts to construct the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) designed to deliver natural gas for power generation and industrial development from Nigeria to the Republic of Benin, Togo and Ghana. In January 2003, these countries signed the WAGP Treaty to foster a stable and harmonised legal environment in which the pipeline will operate. They also entered into international project agreement with WAPco to realise the objective. WAPco intends to construct and commission the WAGP by December 2006. The Volta River Authority (VRA) in Ghana plans to convert their oil-fired turbines in Takoradi (Ghana) to gas turbines using Nigerian Natural gas. In December 2004, N-Gas (a joint venture company involving NNPC, Chevron and SPDC) entered into a gas purchase agreement called the “Takoradi Gas Sales Agreement” with NNPC/SHELL joint venture to supply about 50% of the “Foundation (Initial) Gas” required to commission the WAGP. The WAGP gas demand forecast shows a build-up from 150MMscf/d at start-up (anchor contracts) to around 350MMscf/d over 20 years. The SPDC gas supply to WAGP is planned to come from the Utorogu and Oben Non-Associated Gas (NAG) plants and the Nigeria Gas Company (NGC) stations in Odidi, Escravos Beach and Jones Creek. The Oben and Utorogu gas plants in their current operating conditions will not be able to meet the WAGP specifications and therefore a major plant modification will be required. This EIA covers activities proposed at the Oben project area. The construction of the WAGP 620km offshore gas pipeline and related infrastructure that will transport and commercialize Nigerian gas taken from the ELPS to the aforementioned neighboring West African countries by WAPco is in progress. The offshore portion was proposed to have land fall spurs in Benin (Cotonou) , Togo (Lome) and Ghana (Tema , Takoradi and Effasu) . 2.2 Value of the Project The revenue that will accrue from sale of commercially priced gas will substantially increase the foreign exchange earning of the Federal Government of Nigeria, in addition to the revenue from crude oil and condensate production. The project will also boost direct foreign investment into the sub-region 2.3 Envisaged Sustainability The envisaged sustainability is categorised as follows: 2.3.1 Economic Sustainability The Western Domestic Gas /WAGP Supply Project at Oben shall be sustainable because of the huge and proven gas reserves that can economically and commercially support the project. There is high and growing demand for natural gas in the West African Sub-region. Part of this demand would be met by this project. The project will therefore contribute substantially to the revenue generation and industrial growth in Nigeria and West African Sub-region. 2.3.2 Technical Sustainability The Western Domestic Gas /WAGP Supply Project at Oben is technically sustainable because of SPDC’s proven gas technology and strict adherence to national, international and industry acceptable engineering design and construction standards. Innovative technologies that are economically viable, 2-1
