The Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) project is a comprehensive endeavor focused on developing oil and natural gas reserves, specifically to meet the energy needs of Sub-Saharan Africa. Positioned off Ghana’s western coast, OCTP operates subsea wells and systems linked to the John Agyekum Kufuor Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit. In 2020, OCTP contributed over half of Ghana’s gas supply for thermal power generation.
The expansion and modernization initiative aims to significantly increase the refinery’s petrol production capacity, quadrupling it to 450 thousand tonnes per year. As a part of this project, the Combined Cycle has been revamped to utilize hydrogen generated by the new Platforming unit. Additionally, energy production has been optimized by recycling gas, resulting in a notable reduction in polluting emissions.
The expansion of Western Desert Gas Complex (WDGC) is located in El-Amreya, Alexandria, Egypt. Once operational, the new Train D will increase WDGC’s production capacity to 1.5 bcfd, up from the current 950 MMcfd, with a capacity of 600 MMcfd. This expansion will not only boost the supply of ethane-propane mixture for Egyptian petrochemical producers but also increase WDGC’s production of LPG and condensates for the local market.
