The ANOH gas processing plant, which is located at Assah, Imo State, has begun production of 850 million standard cubic feet (MMSCF) of gas daily, making it the largest gas facility in Nigeria.

The gas plant, which is situated in the oil-rich Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area, is a joint venture between the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) and Seplat Energy Plc.

The initiative, referred to as the Assa North-Ohaji South (ANOH) Gas Development Project, serves as a fundamental element of the Federal Government?s ?Decade of Gas? program and the programme is designed to utilise Nigeria?s extensive natural gas reserves to promote economic growth, minimise gas flaring, and enhance the adoption of cleaner energy throughout the nation.

The plant?s daily production of 850 MMSCF is sufficient to energise major industrial centres, cater to domestic gas needs, and enhance electricity generation.

The Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, who is delighted at the progress, expressed his delight at the completion of the Seplat-operated ANOH gas facility, one of two plants under the project.

With the facility now fully operational, Uzodimma noted that Imo State is poised for significant economic benefits, including job creation, increased investment opportunities, and enhanced energy infrastructure.

The governor said that the plant?s critical role in powering the Orashi Special Energy Free Trade Zone (OSEFTZ) and fostering industrial development in the once-restive Ohaji/Egbema environment also set Imo State on the map as the new heart of Nigeria?s gas revolution. (The Whistler)
