Project Profile
Value: US$26.5 million
Location: Near Abidgan city, Port-Bouet, Ivory Coast
Capacity: 75 mmcfd
Production: 618 boepd average NGL (2011)
The Lion Gas Plant is located in Ivory Coast. Afren Plc is the sole owner of the Lion Gas Plant, which processes gas from the CI-11 and adjacent CI-26 and CI-40 blocks operated by Canadian Natural Resources. The plant has an inlet capacity of 75 mmcfd and strips gasoline and butane from the rich gas stream it receives. The butane is sold into the local market (meeting approximately 35% of the domestic butane demand) and gasoline is spiked into the CI-11 crude stream and sold on the international market. The LGP plant benefits from tax-exempt status, delivering 618 boepd average NGL production in 2011. Production levels were below expectations in 2011, due to the impact of political and social unrest in the first half of 2012. The group continues to evaluate methods to extract propane at the plant, which could be sold locally to industrial customers.
