Shell will construct a pressure reduction and metering station (PRMS) and provide gas supply pipelines and distribution facilities. These will link the PRMS to local customers. The Shell unit will carry out the work on a build, own, operate and transfer (BOOT) basis. Shell Nigeria Gas will operate the project for 15 years before handing it over to Oyo State. The governor also expressed gratitude for Shell’s support of Oyo’s efforts to tackle COVID-19 in the state.
Shell Nigeria Gas was eager to play a part in promoting “rapid industrialization and to ensure there is improved access to power for both industrial and commercial users”. Over the next six months, the company will put in place a “clear gas master plan and that will allow the next step in activity”.
