West African Gas Pipeline Company experiencing temporary shortage of gas supply

The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCo) has announced that it is currently experiencing a temporary decrease in gas volumes available for transportation.

According to WAPCo, the decrease in gas volume is due to ongoing maintenance works being carried out by one of its key gas producers in Nigeria.

In a press release dated June 12 and signed by Isaac Adjei Doku, the Director of Corporate Affairs, the company explained that a producer in Nigeria has temporarily shut down its operations for a three-week maintenance period.

The statement read, “One of the producers of the natural gas WAPCo transports from Nigeria has shut down its facility for a three-week maintenance, resulting in a decrease of gas available for WAPCo to transport to customers in Togo, Benin and Ghana.”

“The current situation is entirely out of WAPCo’s control. WAPCo continues to transport gas from the Westen Region of Ghana to Tema, also in Ghana, and we expect normalcy to return after the maintenance activities,” it assured.

The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCo) is a limited liability company that owns and operates the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP).

The company's headquarters is located in Accra, Ghana, with branch offices in Ikeja, Nigeria, and field offices in Badagry – Nigeria, Cotonou – Benin, Lomé – Togo, Tema, and Takoradi in Ghana.
