摘要

Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), Shell’s Nigerian subsidiary said yesterday that it has taken delivery of a 900 million naira ($6.12 million) detailed engineering design for project to end flaring and utilise gas from three fields in the western Niger Delta. The Nigerian Technical Company (NETCO), the engineering arm of NNPC, won the contract in December 2007 for the design of project to utilise associated gas from the Otumara, Saghara and Opuama fields, SPDC said. The completion of the design paves the way for the construction, procurement and installation of a central gas processing facility at Otumara, which will treat associated gas from the three fields and send it for domestic use through the Escravos-Lagos pipeline system.
