The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCo) has reported a temporary reduction in available gas volumes for transportation.
WAPCo attributes this decline to ongoing maintenance activities by a major gas producer in Nigeria.
In a press release dated June 12, Isaac Adjei Doku, the Director of Corporate Affairs, stated that the Nigerian producer has halted operations for a three-week maintenance period.
The statement read, “One of the producers of the natural gas WAPCo transports from Nigeria has shut down its facility for a three-week maintenance, resulting in a decrease of gas available for WAPCo to transport to customers in Togo, Benin and Ghana.”
“The current situation is entirely out of WAPCo’s control. WAPCo continues to transport gas from the Westen Region of Ghana to Tema, also in Ghana, and we expect normalcy to return after the maintenance activities,” it assured.
The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCo) is a limited liability company responsible for owning and operating the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP).
Headquartered in Accra, Ghana, WAPCo also maintains branch offices in Ikeja, Nigeria, and field offices in Badagry, Nigeria; Cotonou, Benin; Lomé, Togo; as well as Tema and Takoradi in Ghana.
