The West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) has completed critical maintenance on its offshore pipeline and resumed gas transportation to Ghana, Togo, and Benin.
The maintenance work included offshore pipeline cleaning and inspection, subsea valve replacements, and other essential tasks across multiple locations in Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.
In a statement released on Friday, February 28, WAPCo announced that the project was completed ahead of schedule with impressive efficiency and safety.
The four-week-long operation involved a temporary shutdown of the pipeline laterals supplying gas to Cotonou (Benin), Lomé (Togo), and Tema (Ghana).
WAPCo’s Managing Director, Michelle Burkett, commended the team’s dedication and professionalism in carrying out the complex project.
“I want to congratulate every member of our team for their dedication and professionalism. This was a complex project, and your hard work, even in the face of challenges, made it a success,” she said.
Ms. Burkett also thanked the governments of Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo, as well as maritime and regulatory authorities, customers, shippers, gas off-takers, host communities, shareholders, and other stakeholders for their support.
WAPCo reaffirmed its commitment to providing safe and reliable gas transportation services across the sub-region.
