ExxonMobil says that the pipeline-laying aspect for the gas to energy project is on schedule and that it will be ready to bring gas to shore by the end of this year, after which government has to take over to convert and distribute so as to make the project a reality.
“For the whole pipeline, we are on schedule and will have that completed and ready to introduce gas by the end of this year. Then there will be coordination. We have an ongoing coordination interface activity with the developers for the plant so that we can align the commissioning plans as appropriate,” ExxonMobil Country Manager Alistair Routledge on Tuesday told a press conference.
He made it clear that his company was only responsible for bringing the gas to shore and has made significant progress to date, with nearly half of the laying of pipes both on and offshore completed.
