The Atuabo Gas Processing Plant in the Western Region will be shut down from tomorrow for scheduled maintenance. The Ghana National Gas Company in a statement said the scheduled temporary shutdown, which will last between October 4 and 18, will allow engineers to undertake a routine maintenance of the Atuabo Plant to improve its capacity of continuous productivity and prolong its lifespan.
Key benefits of the maintenance are to enhance operability and reliability of its processing and transportation infrastructure. The statement said the outage is consistent with other shutdowns planned by its upstream and downstream partners.
All key stakeholders, including Ghana Gas, Tullow Oil, ENI, and Volta River Authority and MLE had put in place the necessary mechanisms to reduce the shutdown duration from 48 days to 14 days.
