The maintenance project included the offshore pipeline cleaning across multiple locations
The West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) has announced the safe and successful completion of its critical pipeline maintenance activities and the resumption of gas transportation services in Ghana, Togo, and Benin.
The maintenance project included offshore pipeline cleaning and inspection, subsea valve replacements, and other essential works across multiple locations in Ghana, Togo, Benin, and Nigeria.
The project, which spanned four weeks, involved temporarily shutting down the pipeline laterals into Cotonou, Benin, Lomé, Togo and Tema, Ghana.
A statement signed by Dr Isaac Adjei Doku, General Manager, Corporate Affairs of WAPCo, and copied to the Ghana News Agency said despite the complexities and challenges, the project was completed ahead of schedule with remarkable efficiency and safety.
Madam Michelle Burkett, WAPCo’s Managing Director, praised the team for their outstanding effort, saying, “I want to congratulate every member of our team for their dedication and professionalism.
“This was a complex project, and your hard work, even in the face of challenges, made it a success.”
She said while some countries experienced temporary disruptions due to the shutdown of the laterals, the team worked tirelessly to ensure that the maintenance work was carried out swiftly and safely.
“The results speak for themselves, and I could not be prouder of what we have achieved,” she added.
Madam Burkett expressed the company’s gratitude to the governments of Benin, Ghana, Nigeria, and Togo for their continued support while also appreciating the efforts of the maritime and regulatory authorities in these countries.
She said: “We also express our appreciation to our customers, shippers, gas off-takers, host communities, shareholders, and all other stakeholders for their valuable collaboration and contributions to the success of the project.”
The statement noted that WAPCo remained committed to providing high-quality service and maintaining the highest safety standards for efficiency.
