VIRTUAL GAS PIPELINES – A REALITY :
CASE-STUDY OF TOTALSUPPORT’S CNG INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT IN PORTHARCOURT BY
UBANI NKAGINIEME – Ph.D
TOTALSUPPORT ENERGY GROUP .

2. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Nigeria has abundant natural gas resources. However the pipeline infrastructure to evacuate produced(associated & non-associated) gases is very limited to small clusters in Lagos, Portharcourt, Aba, Ota, Agbara, Ajaokuta, Ikot-Abasi, Benin. A few other clusters like Calabar is in the works.

3. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Natural gas fuels are inherently cheaper and much cleaner than other existing fossil-fuel sources like diesel, gasoline, fuel-oil.
In view of the above, a national and holistic shift to cheaper and cleaner natural gas fuels makes economic and environmental sense.

4. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Forward thinking companies like Dufil Prima Foods Plc(Indomie), IMI, and Schlumberger are already switching to natural gas fuels

5. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Being a Clean Energy Company, we are pioneering this Private Industry effort in Nigeria, especially in the Niger-Delta
We have just delivered the First Truly Nigerian CNG Infrastructure in spite of unimaginable challenges.

6. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gas Receiving
This project receives pipeline gas from the Shell gas node at Eleme Junction Portharcourt. The received gas is passed through a Customer Station(CS) to be filtered and prepared for compression.

8. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gas Compression
The pipeline gas received at a pressure of up to 70bars is further compressed to 250bars and loaded into gas transport modules(GTM).

10. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gas Transport
The gas transport modules then moves the compressed gas to DUFIL premises at Choba – Pht(~30 Klm) … where there is no pipeline infrastructure.

13. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Gas Consumption
At DUFIL-Choba, the compressed gas in the GTM is consumed after reducing the pressure to the required consumption pressure(3Bar) --- hence the need to have PRMS(Pressure reducing & metering station) at DUFIL.
The gas is then fed to Dufil gas generators and Steam Boilers

18. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Operational Experience in Niger Delta
Totalsupport Group is essentially a child of the Niger-Delta. We are headquartered in Portharcourt.
Since starting operations with Schlumberger in 1990, Niger-Delta has remained our primary area of operation and focus.

19. THANK YOU
QUESTIONS PLS

21. APPROACH ZERO-FLARE
BELOW 5 SLIDES ARE PICTURES OF WHAT WE MUST NOT ENCOURAGE BY DOING NOTHING

22. APPROACH ZERO-FLARE
Nigeria currently ranks #2 in the global list of “Worst-Emissions-Footprint” …. Only Siberia-Russia is worse.

23. NIGERIA EMISSIONS PROFILE : 2009-2012

27. WHAT WE WASTE !!
Nigeria flares about 2.1Billion scf of gas daily. This is equivalent to wasting over 6,500MW of electricity or fueling over 1,000,000 commercial vehicles daily.
At Flow-Station pricing … this represents an annual wastage of over $1.5Billion.

28. Some Nox Emissions Effects In Niger-Delta
Acid rain leading to degraded & disappearing farm/fishery/livestock yields
Polluted & noxious air leading to dramatic increase in cases of asthma, cancer, skin & respiratory diseases
