The Otumara-Saghara-Escravos pipeline is a swamp-area pipeline owned by Shell, situated around 65 kilometres northwest of Warri and will connect to Shell’s flow stations in the Otumara, Saghara and Escravos fields. The 42-kilometre-long pipeline, of various sizes ranging from 2 to 12 inch, and passing through a swampy terrain with a major river crossing, will collect about 30 million cubic feet a day of processed associated gas from the Otumara, Escravos and Saghara fields in the western Niger Delta and send it through the Escravos-Lagos system to the domestic market, helping to reduce flaring, or the burning of gas produced alongside oil.
