Ghana: Penspen wins FEED contract for gas network

Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST) has given Penspen a contract to conduct a front-end engineering design study for further development of the Ghana Natural Gas Interconnected Transmission System. BOST, as holder of Ghana’s natural gas transmission utility licence, has a mandate to operate, maintain and further develop a country-wide gas transmission network as part of Ghana’s national agenda to exploit gas as an efficient and cost-effective means of augmenting power supply. The first phase of this build-out will be the addition of approximately 750km of pipeline from Aboadze to Tema, and from Prestea to Buipe, via Kumasi.
