Project details

• Operator: Nigerian Gas Company Limited
• Owner: Nigerian Gas Company Limited
• Parent: Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
• Capacity: 1.1 billion cubic feet per day
• Length: 342 kilometers
• Status: Operating
• Diameter: 36 inches
• Start Year: 1989

Background

The 36-inch Escravos to Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS) is a natural gas pipeline built in 1989 to supply gas from Escravos in the Niger Delta to various consumption utilization areas. Although the line starts at NGC's gas treatment plant in Warri, piped gas originates from Chevron's Escravos gas plant in Delta State It supplies gas to power plants in the South-west and also feeds the West African Gas Pipeline System, which is a component of the larger Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline.

Expansion details

• Capacity: 1.1 billion cubic feet per day
• Status: Operating
• Length: 342 kilometers
• Start year: 2021

Escravos–Lagos II Expansion

In April 2019, NNPC's Group Managing Director announced plans to build an expansion, Escravos–Lagos Pipeline System II, which would double the existing pipeline's capacity to 2.2 billion cubic feet per day. Construction was expected to begin in the second quarter of 2020. In February 2021, the NNPC announced that the expansion project, described as a "looping of the Excravos–Lagos Pipeline System", was complete.
