NNPC Raises Daily Gas Supply to Power Plants by 64%
By Modupe Gbadeyanka
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has disclosed that the average national daily gas supply to the nation’s power plants has risen by 64 percent.
The state-owned oil firm, in its Financial and Operations Report for May 2017 released today in Abuja, disclosed that the average Natural Gas supply to power plants of 729 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscfd) in May 2017 was 63.74 percent higher than the daily gas supply to the plants, of 446mmscfd, during the same month in 2016.
The report said the average national daily gas production for May 2017 stood at 242.70 billion cubic feet (BCF) or an average of 7,829.11mmscfd, representing a slight increase, compared with April gas production of 672mmscfd.
It also stated that NNPC, within the period under review, activated plans to build 500 million standard cubic feet of gas-per-day metering plant to serve the planned capacity expansion of Egbin Power Plant.
The report, the 22nd edition, like the previous ones, is designed to promote and sustain effective communication with stakeholders.
According to the report, the three refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna were operational in May 2017, with a minimum of 6m litres of PMS, otherwise called petrol, and a similar quantity of Automotive Gas Oil, also known as diesel, loaded out from the refineries daily.
The three NNPC refineries have a combined nameplate capacity of 445,000 barrels of crude oil per stream day.
The report indicated that the rehabilitation of the refineries would restore their nameplate capacities.
Diesel price, the report also noted, witnessed a nationwide crash by as much as 42 percent following strategic intervention by the Corporation to sustain supply of diesel and avoid the first quarter, 2017 unpleasant experience when retail price of AGO shot to an all-time high of N300 per litre.
The intervention pushed the product’s retail prices as at May 2017 to rally between N175 and N200 across the country.
Another highpoint of the May report is that there was a decline in the incidents of oil pipeline breaks which had, in recent time, witnessed a steady reduction through the months following the sustained community/stakeholders’ engagement initiative.
It further said that the number of pipeline breaks recorded within the period stood at 55, which was an improvement compared to 82 vandalized points recorded in April 2017.
This figure represents about 33 per cent reduction relative to the previous months and also a remarkable improvement to corresponding period of May 2016 which recorded 260 cases.
During the period under review, the reports informed that NNPC stepped up efforts to actualize government’s initiative on co-location of some refineries.
