The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCo) has announced a change in its pipeline maintenance procedure, following discussions with the government. The government has promised to make the necessary equipment available, including replacements for Heavy Fuel Oil, Distillate Fuel Oil, and Light Crude Oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initially, the maintenance was scheduled for October or November last year, but it was postponed to January 20, 2025 – February 3, 2025, due to the former government’s arrangement for gas transportation to WAPCo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new maintenance schedule is expected to benefit the energy sector, which has been facing fuel shortages. However, the contractor had raised concerns about the potential huge expense to shareholders, leading to a revised plan to slow down the maintenance without burdening the shareholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The upcoming maintenance, commencing on February 3, 2025, will involve a temporary shutdown of key facilities in Lome, Togo, Tema, Cotonou, and Benin. During this period, WAPCo will replace a flow control from the sea in a planned and safe location to ensure a smooth process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
