ILF to deliver services for the longest offshore gas pipeline in
moreNNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation), Nigeria and ONHYM (Office National Des Hydrocarbures et Des Mines), Morrocco, are progressing with the plans for their mega-project Nigeria–Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP). The NMGP, an onshore and offshore gas pipeline crossing the land and waters of 16 countries along the Atlantic coast, shall bring Nigerian gas to North Africa and further to Spain for the European market. The pipeline will not only supply the local markets with reliable energy, it will also support industrial and economic development, create a competitive regional power market and benefit all West African countries and their economies.
ILF and DORIS Engineering are delighted to carry out the Project Management Consultancy services for the FEED Phase II of this project. ILF and DORIS can make use of their combined expertise and provide fundamental support to the clients in the delivery of this strategically important project.
The PMC services cover the Onshore and Offshore Pipeline and Compressor Station Engineering, the Engineering Surveys, the Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Land Acquisition Studies (LAS) and the Project Implementation Framework. The project explores the potential for using renewable energy resources to power the pipeline and reduce the project’s carbon footprint.
“With ILF having already been part of the Feasibility Phase and FEED Phase I of this world-scale project, the award of Phase II to us demonstrates the confidence that our long-term clients ONHYM and NNPC have in our Project Management Excellence and Reliability in delivering world class projects,” said Carles Giro, Area Manager Industrial Plants of ILF.
When completed, the over 6,000 km long gas pipeline will be the longest offshore pipeline in the world and the second longest pipeline ever. It has a planned diameter of 48″ offshore and 56″ onshore, with a planned throughput of 30BCMa.
The project coincideswith the “Decade of Gas Master Plan” that Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari launched in 2020. On the Moroccan side, this landmark project is part of the South–South cooperation upheld by King Mohammed VI.
