The management of Dangote Refineries has announced it is building the world’s largest pipeline infrastructure with the capacity to handle three billion standard cubic feet of gas per day.
Speaking during a tour of the Dangote Petrochemical Refineries and Fertilizers Company on Sunday by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, the Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mr. Mele Kyari and Director of Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Hammed Rufus; the Group Executive Director, Strategy, Capital Projects & Portfolio Development, Mr. Edwin Devakumar, stated that Dangote Group is building the largest subsea pipeline infrastructure in the world, to transport three billion standard cubic feet of gas per day.
According to him: “The pipeline we are building is the largest subsea pipeline infrastructure in the world. Our target of pipeline infrastructure is to handle three billion scuf per day, and this is all offshore gas that we shall trap and cap it.“
He said gas will be trapped for electricity which is a sore point for manufacturers in addition to other by-products of the refinery used in the petrochemical industry to drive industrialisation.
He also said that as a deliberate policy the complexity of the refinery is to ensure surplus revenue generation for the country as the company is worth over $12billion.
