1.0 INTRODUCTION
The world as a global village is confronted presently with the threat of extinction as a result of incessant
emission of dangerous gases such as carbon dioxide(CO2), NOx (N2O,NO,NO2), Hydrogen Sulfide(H2S),
Halocarbons(CFCs and HCFCs), methane, HO radicals, etc. These are responsible for the destruction of
the stratospheric ozone layer, that protects the earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, also known as
Green House Gases (GHG), and has subjected the global community to a disastrous ecological imbalance
known as Ozone Layer Depletion, which resulted to a catastrophic phenomenon called Global Warming,
a precursor of climate change and other pandemic effects, such as the damaging of the DNA of plants and
animals, skin cancers, cataracts, etc.
These gases are mainly anthropogenic in nature (i.e. caused by human factors) and are mostly due to gas
flaring. No wander, the United Nations in the Frame Work Convention on climate change (UNFCCC)
known as Kyoto Protocol, declared the above gases as Green House Gases, and they are mainly caused by
gas flaring. This resulted in the United Nations resolution to stop gas flaring.
A recent data released from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), that oil and gas
companies in Nigeria burn over $3.5 to $5 billion yearly from over 257 flow stations in the Niger Delta.
That specifically, the country flared about 17.15 per cent of the 95,471 metric tons of gas produced in
June 2015 alone. Also, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) stated in 2015
Statistical Report, that Nigeria produced 86,325.2 million standard cubic meters in 2014. Also, NNPC
disclosed that Nigeria lost up to $868.8 million, about =N=173.76 billion to gas flaring in 2014.Using the
Nigeria Gas Company’s(NGC) price of $3 per 1000 SCF of gas at the current exchange rate realities,, the
flaring of 289.6 billion SCF of gas translated to a loss of $868.8 million, an equivalent of =N=173.76
billion. Specifically, the oil and gas company produced 2.524 trillion SCF of gas, utilized 2.235 trillion
SCF and flared 289.6 billion SCF.
Against these backdrops and the likes of it, Nigeria came up with a legislation to stop gas flaring. This
gave birth to the present gas monetization process in Nigeria, for which Ogabiri Gas Gathering project is
the nucleus.

1.1 BACKGROUND
Fig.1.0 Map Outlay of Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project.
Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project is made up of five flow stations/facilities, thus: Ibugben, Ogabiri-1,
Ogabiri-2, Rumokun-1 and Rumokun-2, with the central gas gathering facility located at Ogabiri-1,
gathering gases from Ibugben, Rumokun-1 and 2 respectively, via gas pipelines, existing along the right
of way. Then, en Route Ogabiri-2, where the new Gas Treatment and Compression Facilities are to be
installed. Here, the gas will be treated according to the West African Gas Pipelines’ specification before
exiting to the NGC Excravos-Lagos Pipeline Systems (ELPS) via a 4.5km new right of way.
1.2 SCOPE OF WORK.
The Field Engineering Limited’s Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project contract scope of this work covers the
preparation of Pipelines Material Datasheets for the entire flow stations and their corresponding pipeline
connections, that made up the Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project. To achieve this, the entire Ogabiri Projects’
various streams’gas and water compositons and conditions were simulated using PIPESIM and HYSIS.
The design simulation of the various pipeline systems connecting the entire facilities en route the

presented in the tables below.
The design conditions, compositions, calculation results, codes, etc, of the high pressure gas line systems
of the entire project facilities as shown in the tables below. Pipeline testing is also included to ensure
compliance to ISO, ASME and ASTM specifications.
1.3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The contractor(our company), Field Engineering Limited, do hereby express their profound gratitude to
Shell Petroleum Development Company(SPDC), Nigeria, and their partner Nestoil Nigeria Limited, for
the opportunity to execute on their behalf, the Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project.
A contract project of this magnitude could not have been satisfactorily executed without the active
support, co-operation and understanding, as well as abiding patience of the SPDC and Nestoil staff that
are intimately connected with the project. In this regard, we sincerely thank Dr. Chris Ucheobi, the Head
of the K2S Engineering Department, Mr. Lovel Omoanreghan and Mrs. Roseline Uzuegbu, of Nestoil
Nigeria Limited, respectively. Also, Adedotun, Taiwo, Oladipo, facilitators of the training consultants to
Nestoil.
Our company’s appreciation and thanks go to the chiefs, community leaders and youths of the respective
communities involved directly or indirectly for the conducive atmosphere enjoyed during the execution of
this project. Our special gratitude also goes to the youth leaders of the respective communities involved,
for their invaluable maturity, assistance and roles towards a hitch-free execution of this project contract.

The 37 km Ogabiri Gas Gathering Project via existing Right of Way (ROW), en route the bushy/swampy
terrain of the communities involved, thus; Ibugben, Rumokun and Ogabiri, connecting the Ogabiri Gas
Gathering Facility, from where the gas will be transported to NGS Excravos via ELPS pipeline route. The
pipeline will interface at the other end with a Pig Launcher/Receivers, as well as other tie-in integration
requirements.
Pipeline Design Teams will interface with these other teams: Process Engineering, Mechanical
Engineering, Piping, Civil/Structural Engineering as well as Electrical Engineering & Instrumentations
Engineering, for the success of the project and will during the course of this project, exchange inputs with
the afore-mentioned disciplines. The Pipeline teams will also interface with the project management team
for effective and timely delivery of the entire project.
