Phoenix Park Gas Processors Ltd signs agreement with Ghana consortium

Phoenix Park Gas Processors Ltd (PPGPL) on Thursday signed a technical services agreement with the Gas Gathering Ltd (TGGL) of Ghana, a private consortium.

PPGPL, in a press release, said it will be providing technical and commercial advisory services, drawing on its expertise in the fields of process and mechanical engineering, project management, process operations, and commercial.

PPGPL was formed in 1989 by the National Gas Company (NGC), international energy company ConocoPhillips, and Pan West Engineers and Constructors, LLC.

It said this agreement is a continuation of the NGC group’s association with Ghana, to commercialise technical services in the group’s thrust to globalise its operations in service of its mission and vision.

In 2022, TGGL was awarded a contract by the Ghana National Gas Company (GNGC) to build, co-own, co-operate and transfer contract with GNGC to construct Train 2 of its gas processing facility. It is for this project that PPGPL was engaged by TGGL to assist in an advisory capacity to bring it to final investment decision (FID).

PPGPL said this latest development is aligned to its growth strategy to expand internationally, which the company has been pursuing steadfastly through its three acquisitions since 2020.

It’s also in keeping with the NGC Group’s mandate to export its energy services globally.

NGC’s first international project to deliver a pressure regulator skid package for the existing Takoradi Distribution Station (TDS) in Ghana is nearing completion.

The prefabricated skid was assembled in Trinidad and shipped to Ghana in April 2022, and has been installed at the TDS process plant site.

At the signing ceremony, PPGPL president Dominic Rampersad said, “With each growth initiative, we continue to move closer to our vision of being a globally recognised business.”

He added that the agreement commemorates a long journey in which PPGPL has built a strong business relationship with Ghana.

Prior to this agreement, in 2019, PPGPL provided consultancy services to GNGC on risk-based inspection (RBI) for the Atuabo Gas Processing Facility.

The company developed and issued a risk-based inspection (RBI) program for GNGC and trained its staff, the release said.
