Shell Nigeria Reopens Utorogu Gas Plant
Shell Petroleum Development Co. of Nigeria, or SPDC, said it has reopened the Utorogu Gas Plant in Nigeria’s Niger Delta.
The plant was shut down Wednesday night following a leak on the Utorogu-UPS trunkline in Western Niger Delta. The line evacuates condensate from the gas plant.
The pipeline system carries gas from Delta State to feed power stations in the south western part of the country including the biggest power plant – Egbin.
Utorogu is a major gas plant producing about 270 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) of gas and whenever it is shut down, there is always a substantial drop in power supply.
SPDC spokesman Tony Okonedo said in a statement that the company has isolated the leak point for subsequent repair work.
Investigation is being conducted to find out the cause of the leak, Okonedo said.
