Ghana National Gas Company has completed the planned maintenance works at the Atuabo Plant ahead of the scheduled 14-day period.
The team of Engineers behind the plant maintenance had requested 14 days for the planned exercise, but ended up beating the targeted time by using 10 days to successfully complete the assignment.
Following the successful completion of the maintenance works, the maintenance team has handed over the plant to the Operational Unit.
Key maintenance works at the plant include servicing of Heat Medium System, Calibration of Safety Systems and overhaul of Transmission Compressor.
The Ministry of Energy and Green Transition had estimated a 14-day timeline for completion.
However, the maintenance and technical team achieved a significant milestone by finishing ahead of schedule.
Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Judith Adjobah Blay, praised the team’s dedication and teamwork.
She congratulated them on their success, emphasising that their hard work and collaboration were key factors in completing the project efficiently.
CEO Adjoba Blay told the media that with the completion of the maintenance, the facility was ready to take extra gas flow from Tullow.
Mr. Sampson Kali, Acting General Manager in charge of Engineering, disclosed to the media that there was no loss time injury in the 10 day exercise.
“So maintenance team will be on standby to achieve the increase gas flow”.
Acting General Manager, Operations, Sampson Doe said they had taken over the plant and were taking small amounts of gas to warm-up it up.
The plant is expected to stabilise and receive the expected volumes of gas in the remaining hours of the day.
