WAGL’s Ghana LNG import schedule likely to slip

Ghana’s plan to start importing LNG to boost power supplies before the country’s general election in November is looking increasingly unlikely to succeed, sources have told Interfax Natural Gas Daily.

A project proposed by West Africa Gas Ltd. (WAGL) – a 60/40 joint venture between Nigeria National Petroleum Corp. and Sahara Energy Resources – to import LNG at the Ghanaian port of Tema via Golar LNG’s Tundra FSRU will not begin operations in a month’s time as originally planned. No significant work has been started at the port to accommodate the vessel, Interfax Natural Gas Daily has learned.
