Midstream that reaches beyond the grid.
Many customers live and work far from any pipeline. MEA's midstream plans connect Gas and fuel at the source to those customers. The aim is to liquefy pipeline Gas, store product close to demand and move it by road on MEA's own fleet.
Mini-LNG plant
Planned alongside the 614 km Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano pipeline, which will carry Gas to Abuja, Kaduna and Kano.
LPG terminal
A planned receiving and storage terminal in Lagos.
Virtual pipeline
LNG, CNG and LPG delivered by road to customers not connected to a pipeline.
Storage
Our vision is to own storage tanks across Niger, Nigeria and Africa.
Taking Gas from the south to the north.
The AKK pipeline joins the Gas fields of the south to the north of Nigeria. Nigeria holds about 215 tcf of Gas, but much of the north has had no Gas supply. The pipeline has been built. The next step is for Gas to start flowing, and when it does, the benefits reach well beyond the pipe itself.
- 614 km
- Ajaokuta–Kaduna–Kano pipeline, 40 inches wide
- Up to 2.2 bcf/d
- Gas the pipeline can carry
- 3
- Main off-take points: Abuja, Kaduna and Kano
- 1,900+
- Nigerians directly employed in construction
Power
Gas for power plants in the north, so more of the grid runs on the fuel behind most of Nigeria’s electricity.
Industry
With reliable Gas, idle factories along the corridor, such as textile plants in Kaduna, can switch their machines back on, and new ones can open.
Jobs and communities
Construction employed more than 1,900 Nigerians directly and worked with over 240 communities along the route.
Cleaner energy
More Gas used at home means less Gas flared in the Niger Delta.
Beyond the pipe
Our planned mini-LNG plant alongside the pipeline can take Gas by road, as a virtual pipeline, to customers the pipeline does not reach.
Product close to demand.
Along the coast, tank-farm partners in Nigeria already keep product close to demand. As the Group grows, storage lets us hold more product, serve stations and customers with fewer delays and smooth out the supply chain. Our vision is to own storage tanks across Niger, Nigeria and the rest of Africa where we operate. In Niger, that will give inland customers a local source of fuel.
Plant capacity, site, timeline and cost stay at the planning stage until finalised.
