The Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (CABGOC), a subsidiary of energy supermajor Chevron, has successfully achieved first gas from its Sanha Lean Gas Connection project in Angola.
At a cost of $300 million, the project comprises the development of a platform that ties into the existing Sanha condensate complex and features pipelines connecting Blocks 0 and 14 to the Angola Liquefied Natural Gas (ALNG) facility and Soyo power plant.
The first phase of the project will deliver approximately 80 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day (mmscf/d) to the ALNG plant. The project’s second phase will add a further 220 mmscf/d to the facility, bringing the total feedstock for Angola LNG to 600 mmscf/d.
“First gas from the Sanha Lean Gas Connection shows CABGOC’s success in maximizing value from existing resources in Block 0 while growing capabilities in Angola. As a long-term partner in Angola, Chevron builds upon a legacy of 70 years of operational excellence in Angola and remains dedicated to continuing to provide reliable, affordable and lower carbon energy to benefit the people of Angola,” stated Managing Director of Chevron’s Southern Africa Strategic Business Unit Billy Lacobie.
Energy Capital & Power spoke with Lacobie during the Angola Oil & Gas 2024 conference, about the firm’s achievements and investment strategy in the country. Watch the video below;
