1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PROJECT OVERVIEW
NETCO was informed by NAE that NAE’s Etan development project is at its
critical stages and deliberations have gone on well with Nigerian Content
Development and Monitoring Board (NCDMB or the Board) to establish in-
country gaps that should be addressed by the project.
The NCDMB is establishing the Industrial Parks in all oil producing States to
develop infrastructure and create an enabling environment for low cost
manufacturing of equipment and component with a view to maximize utilization
of Nigerian made goods in the oil and gas industry and to integrate community
entrepreneurs into the oil and gas value chain. The Board has invited IOCs to
participate by providing infrastructure to the Parks.
In compliance with eni policy on local content development and in response to

the invitation, NAE NCD is proposing to provide power to the Park in Oguta
(Imo State) which is within NAOC operating area as one of its Capacity
Development Initiatives (CDIs) for OPL 245 development projects.
Since the location of the Park is in close proximity to Oguta community, the
plan is to also extend the power supply from the Park to the Oguta community.
1.2 Basis of Design
Oguta industrial park is expected to host about 5 -10 medium manufacturing

enterprises occupying about one hectare each while the Oguta residential
community is estimated to be about 30,000 people. The power plant is
proposed to be built in phases to match the Park and Community power
consumption growth as the park gradually attains its full capacity.

assessment of various Power Plant design options in order to recommend and
select an optimal development Option.
The Project is based on the Federal Government of Nigeria initiative to utilize

the domestic gas for enhanced local market electrical power supply. The
project will provide ample employment opportunities in addition to socio-
economic development of the area.
1.4 Project Scope
The feasibility study will determine the suitability of the project for the proposed
location, ascertain that the project objectives can be realized and answer the
question of “should we proceed with the project and recommend an option for
further development at Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phase of the
project.

2 ELECTRIC ENERGY SUPPLY- FACILITIES, NETWORK AND CAPACITIES

OVERVIEW
2.1 Existing Facilities Description
Oguta community has existing 33kV transmission lines network and 415V town
distribution network which require further study and possible upgrade to
achieve the objective of the project. Medium Voltage (MV) distribution lines to
Oguta 1 and 2 are from the same 33kV line from Owerri but through separate
routes, transmission line to Oguta 1 is from Ngbidi Junction while transmission
line to Oguta 2 is from Ogbaku junction. Currently there is no Medium Voltage
(MV) substation in Oguta Town.
2.2 Survey of Current Available Power Supply
According to Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) data there are
currently 23 grid-connected generating plants in operation in the Nigerian
Electricity Supply Industry (NESI), with a total installed capacity of 10,396.0
MW and available capacity of 6,056 MW. Most generation is thermal based,
with an installed capacity of 8,457.6 MW (81% of the total) and an available
capacity of 4,996 MW (83% of the total). Hydropower from three major plants
accounts for 1,938.4 MW of total installed capacity (and an available capacity
of 1,060 MW).
Currently the demand for electricity in Nigeria exceeds supply. A study by a
major European engineering firm has estimated that demand will rise from
around 33 terawatt hours in 2011 to between 56 and 95 terawatt hours by
2020. This will result in an increase in peak load demand from around 5,000
MW in 2011 to between 9,000 MW and 16,000 MW by 2020.
As at the time of site survey there is no known independent power plant around
Oguta and experience of epileptic power supply is as obtainable in other parts
of the country.

3 EVALUATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF THE VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT

OPTIONS
To achieve an effective and efficient power plant configurations and

development decisions, viable alternatives were explored and analyzed based
on fuel sources, plant location and technology availability. The common fuel
alternatives considered were coal, oil, natural gas, renewable energy and
nuclear energy.
As analyzed in the Mechanical Selection Report - Appendix S, Gas Turbine
Generator was considered to be the preferred alternative means of Power
generation for Oguta Power Plant and therefore further discussed in the
subsequent sections of this report.
4 GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES AND CRITICALITIES
4.1 Gas Driven Power Plant Technology Survey
Gas driven power plant technology is common in Nigeria. Various gas turbine
generator types obtainable in the market are discussed in the Mechanical
Selection Report.
Aero-Derivatives gas turbine type in an open cycle or a combined cycle
configuration is considered more suitable for the Oguta power plant application
owing to its relatively high efficiency, ease of maintenance, light weight and
compatibility.
4.2 Power Plant Equipment Selection Criteria
The power plant equipment selection criteria include;

 Unit size for proper grid integration, reliability & redundancy
 Proven technology
 Site weather and environmental conditions
 Plant operating efficiency
Validity Rev.
323704FBRF00120 15 / 49
EV-FS
03
CS-FS
 Lead time for delivery and Installation

 Ability to phase generating capacity to meet future growth
 Potential for the employment of local skills for maintenance and
operations of the Plant
4.3 Power Plant Capacity
Based on the Preliminary Electrical Load Schedule (Appendix X), the plant
installed site rated capacity is estimated at 120MW, including provision for 15
years population growth of the Oguta Community. It is anticipated that the plant
will be installed in phases as the maximum energy demand grows.
4.4 Power Plant Configurations Evaluation
Three (3) simple open cycle and two (2) combined cycle configurations for a
number of power blocks/ plant capacities have been evaluated as contained in
Mechanical Selection Report. These are;
a) 3 Options of simple cycle configurations,
b) 3 Options of Combined cycle multishaft configurations and,
c) 1 option of combined heat and power configuration
4.5 The Power Plant Project Criticalities
Below is a list of areas that demand specific attentions for effective takeoff and
smooth running of the proposed power plant;
 Gas availability
 Fuel Gas System
 Pipeline Protection against Vandalism
 Power Evacuation
 Water System – sized to handle all phases of project developments
 Site Layout – consideration for expansion, future lay-down area, etc

CS-FS
4.6 Evaluation Of Main Technical Issues
Fuel Gas
The Fuel Gas consumption design capacity is 44 MMSCFD. Based on
available data and analysis carried out, the heating values (LHV) of all the fuel
gas sources (AKRI HP Test TPS, AKRI 4L Manifold and Irri/Kwale arrival at
OB/OB) are within typical Gas Turbine Generator specification range. Refer to
process simulation reports (Appendix B).
Security of Fuel Gas Pipeline

There has been series of challenges getting the power plants around the
country to run adequately due to gas supply issues. Gas pipelines and
infrastructure are being continually vandalized resulting in incessant drop in
power supply, which has continuously brought negative impacts on nation’s
economy. Therefore, a high-tech innovative pipeline protection and
surveillance system is required for smooth running of the facility.
Water Availability
Typical of any gas turbine power plant, Oguta power plant will require
considerable amount of water for cooling and steam generation, service and
potable water, and firefighting system. The water will be provided by on-Site
bore wells.
The bore wells/ground water shall be subjected to quality test, where the result
shows that the water is short of the required quality, water treatment
requirements evaluations and assessment shall be carried to obtain required
potable/service water quality.

CS-FS
Waste Water
The waste water from power plants is generally so severely contaminated with
oil residues that it cannot be discharged into stretches of water, for example,
without the appropriate treatment. Adequate waste water treatment facility is
considered necessary for the project to reduce residual oil content to
permissible limit before disposal.
Power Evacuation
The plant ultimate estimated Power Demand is 120MW. However, the recent
Regulations on Embedded Generation and Independent Electricity Distribution
Networks issued by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission ‘NERC’
(pursuant to its powers to make regulations under the Electric Power Sector
Reform Act, 2005) required that units generating above 20 MW evacuates
power through the transmission network.
Therefore, it is necessary that Electric Power evacuation strategy be further
evaluated in addition to seeking necessary waiver from the appropriate
authority considering the fact that there is no known transmission line at the
vicinity of the proposed power plant.
4.7 Battery limits
Gas pipeline from either AKRI Flowstation (HP TPS or 4L arrival manifold) or
IRRI/KWALE arrival at OB/OB gas plant. Pipeline approach will be via southern
part of Oguta Industrial Park, as illustrated in the Pipeline Selection Report
Appendix AD.
Power evacuation to the Industrial park complex and Oguta community
transmission network will be from an indoor MV switchgear assembly.

8 CONCEPT SELECTION
Considering the initial power requirement of the Industrial Park and the
adjoining Oguta community as analyzed in the Preliminary Load Schedule
(appendix X) coupled with multidiscipline evaluation of different power plant
types and configurations vis-à-vis fuel gas availability and suitability, a 120MW
installed capacity power plant in blocks of 30 MW GTGs in either SCGT or
CCGT configuration is considered to be more technically and economically
feasible concept for further project development. However, a CCGT
configuration is preferred due to its higher overall efficiency and environment
friendly advantages among others. Refer to the Mechanical selection report
Appendix S.

144.00MW to about 182.70MW (ISO) and their efficiencies varies from 37.20%
to 50.68%.
At start up around 30MW simple cycle GTG will be installed to meet the initial
base load. Subsequently, an additional 30MW GTGs will be installed to meet
industrial park and the Oguta community load growth.
8.2 DESCRIPTION OF MAIN GTG POWER PLANT EQUIPMENTS
Gas Turbine Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are referenced for

confirmation of equipment availability and auxiliaries requirements, the defined
design capacity, as well as design conditions and size of the main equipment
obtained contained in the Mechanical Selection Report.
8.2.1 Gas Turbine Generator & Accessories
The gas turbine will be aero-derivative type, each comprising of a multistage

axial compressor and a turbine including combustors section.
The inlet air system would consist of a filter house with Inertia and Media or
self-cleaning air filters, ducting and silencer. The system would draw
atmospheric air into the gas turbine compressor unit.
Air intake silencer will suppress the noise in the intake air system. An inlet air
guide vane will be provided in the compressor to improve the efficiency of the
plant under part load conditions. The turbine will have multiple stages. The
exhaust gas from the advance class gas turbines are generally in axial direction
of the gas turbine. The gas turbine units will have Dry Low NOx (DLN)
combustors suitable for burning natural gas only.
Depending on the fuel gas specification of GT manufacturer’s, a water bath /
steam heater type fuel gas heater would be provided prior to combustion to
ensure that no condensate enters the combustor. Furthermore, these heaters
would improve the net heat rate of the Power plant, which is a consequential

benefit. The combustion of fuel mixture with air takes place in the combustors
and the hot gas will be expanded in the gas turbine, which will drive the
generator as well as axial flow air compressor.
The gas turbine generator will be provided with lubrication oil system complete
with lube oil pumps, lube oil reservoir, and lube oil coolers.
The exhaust system of gas turbine will exhaust the gas into the atmosphere
through HRSG.
A fire detection and carbon dioxide / clean gas protection system as per GT
manufacturer’s standard practice (which will be generally compliant to
recommendations of NFPA / equivalent norms) will be provided to protect the
gas turbine and its auxiliaries against fire hazard.
8.2.2 Heat Recovery Steam Generators
The HRSGs, will be unfired type with horizontal gas, flow, natural circulation
with triple pressure (High, Intermediate and Low pressures) steam generation
and will have the dry run capability in order to reduce the black-start power
consumption.
The HRSG will have a separate Super heater, Evaporator and Economizer
sections to generate High Pressure (HP), Intermediate Pressure (IP) and Low
Pressure (LP) steams. Furthermore, the HRSGs will also have a re-heater
section where, the cold reheat steam from the HP turbine after integration with
IP steam from IP evaporator will be superheated.
In each HRSG, a condensate pre-heater (CPH) recovers the thermal energy of
the hot gas to the maximum extent. The gas temperature at outlet of CPH is
generally governed by dew point temperature of oxides of sulphur.
The De-aerator will be an integral part of the HRSG, which will be getting
heating steam from the LP evaporator. However, option will be given to EPC
Contractor for external De-aerator if necessary, where the heating steam for
De-aerator would be supplied from LP steam header after pressure regulation.

03
CS-FS
Vent condenser will be provided with the De-aerator to minimize wastage of

steam. The steam from LP evaporator will be used to peg the De-aerator
during plant operation.
HRSG will be envisaged to be provided with internal thermal insulation,
platforms and ladders as required. Each HRSG will be provided with self-
supporting steel stack that will balance the net draft available at stack inlet;
however, this will also assist in better dispersion of hot flue gas from HRSG and
NOx emission.
Steam from the HRSGs will be supplied to a steam turbine through steam
piping. Intermediate-pressure (IP) and Low-pressure (LP) bypass systems of
100% HRSG capacity will be provided for dumping the IP and LP steam to the
condenser during start- up and turbine trip conditions. During by-pass
condition, the HP steam will be depressurized and de-superheated to cold
reheat steam condition and will be integrated with IP steam before HRSG
re-heater section.
8.2.3 Steam Turbine & Auxiliaries
A non-extraction, re-heat, condensing type steam turbine is considered for this

feasibility study. However, a more efficient type can be looked into through a
set of emergency stop and control valves which would govern the speed / load
of the machine. The turbine control system would be of electro-hydraulic type
with hydro-mechanical system as a backup.
The steam turbine section will accommodate the lube oil system, jacking oil
system, governing system, protection system and gland sealing steam system.
The lube oil system of the STG will be provided with a centrifuge system.
The gland sealing steam for the steam turbines would be taken from HP steam
and will be de-pressurized and de-superheated before supply to turbine glands.
The spray water for de-superheating would be taken from IP feed water line.
The gland steam header of both power blocks would be interconnected to

provide the flexibility during steam turbine start-up and reduce the start-up time.
8.2.4 Condensing Equipment & Auxiliaries
The steam turbine would be provided with a surface type condenser fixed to the
turbine exhaust for condensing the exhaust steam from the steam turbine. The
radial or axial or lateral configuration type with rigid or spring mounting
arrangement as per EPC Contractor’s standard practice should be considered.
The condenser design will ensure to prevent sub-cooling of condensate below
saturation temperature corresponding to respective condenser backpressure
under any of the operating conditions. While deciding the heat duty of the
condenser, the heat load during steam dumping will also be considered as one
of the operating conditions.
8.2.5 Condensate Extraction Pumps (CEP)
Three (3) Nos. (2 Working @ 50% + 1 Standby) CEP would be provided to

pump the condensate from the hot well to De-aerator through the CPH of the
HRSG.
During the starting of the pumps, care must be taken to avoid the pump
operation at run-off power which reduces the pump motor rating.
Connections for condensate supply to the following major services will be
tapped-off from this condensate discharge header:
 Turbines exhaust hood spray.
 Gland sealing system de-superheating.
The condensate will then pass in series through the gland steam condenser
before entering the CPH section of HRSG.

8.2.6 Boiler Feed Pumps (BFP) and Drives
Two (2) Nos. (1Working @ 100% and 1Standby). Each would have one (1) no.
matching capacity, single-stage booster pump driven by the feed pump motor.
The booster pump will take suction from feed water storage tank and discharge
into the suction of corresponding main BFP, which in turn will supply feed water
to HP section of HRSG through HP feed water control station. The feed water
control valves will be provided with motor driven upstream isolation valve and a
downstream isolation valve with manual operator for maintenance of internals
of control valve.
All the feed pumps will be provided with minimum flow re-circulation control
arrangement to protect the pump under low load operation. The pumps will
discharge through minimum flow re-circulation valves and motor operated stop
valves into a common discharge header. The starting of pumps will take the
start-permissive from end limit switches of discharge isolation valves-closed to
avoid the pump operation at run-off power which reduces the pump motor
rating.
Each pump will be provided with mechanical seals with proper seal cooling
arrangement, self-contained forced lubricating oil system for supplying oil to the
bearings, couplings etc. The lubricating oil and also sealing arrangement of the
feed pumps will be cooled by closed cooling water system.
A similar arrangement as elaborated above, except booster pump, would be
provided for IP System.
8.2.7 Chemical Dosing System
Although high purity water will be used as heat cycle make-up, careful chemical
conditioning of the feed steam condensate cycle is essential as a safeguard
against corrosion and possible scale formation due to ingress of contaminants
in the make-up system.

cooling water system has been considered for surface condenser of steam
water cycle. The cooling water system will be unitised and it will supply cold
water to surface condenser of steam-water cycle as well as secondary side of
the ACW systems of GTG and STG auxiliaries.
Two (2) Nos. (1 Working @ 100% + 1 Standby) Cooling Water (CW) pumps of
vertical type have been considered to supply cooling water to STG condenser.
The CW pumps will be located in a cooling water pump sumps, which will
receive cooled return water from the cooling tower basin.
8.2.9 Auxiliary Cooling Water (ACW) and Closed Cooling Water (CCW) System
The CCW system meets the cooling water requirements of all the auxiliary
equipment of the GTG, STG and HRSG units such as turbine lube oil coolers,
generator coolers, BFP auxiliaries, condensate pump bearings, sample coolers
and air compressors auxiliaries. The GTG and STG / HRSG auxiliaries will be
provided with an individual ACW system since the pressure requirements of
cooling water system of GTG is generally high when compared to auxiliaries of
STG and HRSG.
The primary side of this cooling water system for auxiliaries, i.e., circulating
cooling water (CCW) system will make use of the passivated DM water as
cooling medium, which will be circulated in closed circuit through plate heat
exchanger and auxiliary coolers in series.
Two(2) Nos. (1 Working @ 100% + 1 Standby) ACW pumps per circuit will be
provided to circulate the water in secondary cycle through plate heat exchanger
and Induced Draft Cooling Tower (IDCT). The ACW pumps will be located in

8.3.2 Telecommunication, Instrumentation and Control System
The control and safety systems are usually designed in two architectural
frames. These include; the distributed modular and the standalone or the
integrated (ICSS) design. Either of these designs has its enormous
advantages.
Unlike others, the modular logic solver hardware scales in sizes of 16
configurable I/O. This means memory and logic solver processing is
automatically added with increasing I/O count. Furthermore the system's
modularity simplifies design, installation, wiring, and commissioning to allow for

changing project requirements.

On the other hand an Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS), provides
integrated engineering, maintenance and operations environment. All safety-
related information is easily accessible through familiar and intuitive
applications. The integrated but separate architecture complies with standards
for physical separation and independence of safety and control, delivering the
benefits of total integration and total separation without the trade-offs
associated with the two extremes furthermore the safety power supplies,
communication channels, hardware and real-time operating systems are
physically separate and independent of the Basic Process Control System
(BPCS). MODULR design is preferred for its scalability and simplicity design.
Refer to Appendix O - Q
8.4 Fuel Gas Supply
The feed gas source considered is taken from 3 different sources:

- Akri Flowstation (4L manifold or HP TP Separator) and
- 24’’ Irri / Kwale gas pipeline arrival at OB/OB gas plant.
The feed gas will be transported via a 10’’ pipeline with above and underground
installations to Oguta Industrial Park. Provision shall include temporary /
potable pigging facilities to pig new 15km pipeline.
The primary process and auxiliary systems in relation to the available feedstock
to achieve the desired plant performance are defined accordingly.
Any fuel gas source designated for fuel gas use must either meet, or be
conditioned to meet, certain fuel quality requirement or specification stipulated
by the gas driven generator vendor. The feed gas provided from 3 sources
satisfies typical Gas Turbine fuel gas specifications.

 Fuel Gas Superheater
In addition to fuel gas system, supporting utilities, fiscal gas metering system
will be installed upstream of the Fuel Gas Package to measure and record the
feed gas flowrate. For detailed information, refer to Appendix A – N.
8.5 Preliminary Pipeline Route Selection and tie-in Point
The pipeline routing study carried out was essentially to identify lowest cost
route, which meets the operational and safety requirements of both the
facilities and the general public, whilst minimizing the impact on the
environment, human settlements, and regulatory authorities. Using the
AutoCAD File of Survey Map of NAOC Facilities & Pipeline as provided by
NAE among other resources and good engineering judgment several route
options for gas transportation were evaluated to determine the most
appropriate route with the highest potential for low overall cycle cost.
Based on available source fuel gas, the following pipeline routes were
explored;
 Akri FS to Oguta Industrial Park Power Plant (AKRI Route).
 24’’ Kwale GP – OB/OB GP gas pipeline to Oguta Industrial Park Power
Plant (KWOB Route).
Based on pipeline route selection evaluation report, AKRI Route pipeline
shown in Fig 8.1 is preferred option for the project, however, final selection will
be based on fuel gas availability from either source to meet the project initial
and future demand. Refer to Appendix AD.

It should be noted that the route selected is preliminary and shall be further
verified upon route survey data availability, also the selected pipeline corridor
is subject to field investigation survey, quantitative risk assessment and
detailed route constructability studies.
Furthermore, carbon steel line pipe is recommended as the material for the gas
pipeline based on safety and environmental considerations due to the ease of
inspection, maintenance and repair. A seamless API 5L X60, PSL 2 minimum
nominal pipeline size of 10inches with a minimum wall thickness of 7.09mm is

8.6 Preliminary Operation and Maintenance Philosophy
A key project development issue is the O&M of the power plant after the
construction period.
The plant shall be built and guaranteed to operate according to international
standards or else the equipment vendor’s guarantees will be voided.
Specifically, the construction contract should include performance guarantees
and warranties that are predicated upon certain standards and practices being
followed during the operation of the power plant. Performance guarantees and
warranties are contractual promises made by the EPC contractor of the power
plant that specify the minimum acceptable performance standards for the
power plant. These standards relate to the output, performance, and efficiency
of the power plant. Warranties are for performance during an initial period of
operation. It is important that the designated standards and practices
established by the contractor are understood and agreed to by the Company
operators.
It is strongly recommended that an O&M contract with specific training
requirements be part of the tender for the plant. The contract should be for a
sufficient period to cover the first major overhaul of the plant, following which
local operations and maintenance personnel trained for the period can assume
full control of O&M. As part of the EPC contract, during the first year of
operation of the power plant the contractor is expected to provide all
management, services, parts, and maintenance tasks necessary for successful
operation of the power plant.
The procurement, installation and construction contract should include
provisions for training Nigerian nationals particularly host Communities O&M
personnel on an off-site basis possibly at a similar power plant. Also there
should be training at the project site during construction.
Operating manuals, procedures, and documentation necessary to operate the

power plant should be provided adequately.
8.7 Preliminary Environmental Assessment
The environmental impacts of the proposed power station and the measures for
controlling the pollution within the values specified by Environmental Regulation
and Protection Agencies in Nigeria are discussed in this section;
 Air pollution
 Water pollution
 Sewage disposal
 Thermal pollution
 Noise pollution
 Particulate matter
 Pollution monitoring and surveillance systems
8.7.1 Air pollution
The Air pollutants from the proposed CCGT are:

 Sulphur dioxide in fuel gas
The proposed power plant would use fuel gas, which does not contain
any sulphur. Hence, there would not be any emission of sulphur dioxide in
the flue gas.
 Nitrogen oxides in fuel gas
The plant will be utilizing Dry Low NOx / equivalent burners to minimize
the NOx emission to acceptable level.
 Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)
The fuel used is filtered in multi stages and hence the flue gas will not
contain any particulate matter.
8.7.2 Water pollution

CS-FS
a) Steam Generator Blowdown

The salient characteristics of the Blowdown water from the point of view
of pollution are the pH and temperature of water since suspended solids
are negligible. The temperature of the Blowdown water would not be
above 100°C as it is flashed to atmospheric pressure. It is proposed to
lead the HRSG blowdown water to blowdown sump and after mixing with
cooling tower blowdown the temperature would practically reduce to the
ambient value.
b) Effluent Disposal to River
The temperature of the effluent discharged to the river will be within the
maximum allowable limits specified by the regulatory agents.
8.7.3 Sewage Disposal
Sewage from the plant would be conveyed through closed drains to Central
septic tanks provided for the Industrial Park.
8.7.4 Noise Pollution
All equipment in the power plant would be designed /operated to have a noise
level not exceeding 85 to 90dBA as per the requirement of Occupational Safety
and Health Administration Standard (OSHA). In addition, since most of the
noise generating equipment would be in closed structures, the noise
transmitted outside would be further reduced.
8.7.5 Pollution Monitoring and Surveillance System
The characteristics of the effluent from the plant would be maintained so as to

meet the minimum requirements of the Standards for the Power Plants as
stipulated by Environmental Regulation and Protection Agencies.

8.7.6 Impact of Pollution/Environmental Disturbance
Since the fuel used is clean Fuel Gas and Dry Low NOx (DLN) burners are
used, there will not be any air pollution. As further necessary treatment of liquid
effluents would be carried out, there would be no adverse impact on either air
or water quality in and around the power station site on account of installation
of the proposed plant.
8.7.7 Green Belt
A green belt of required width should be provided all around the plant boundary
limits. In addition, avenue trees will be planted all along the roads.
8.8 Preliminary Site Location and Layout
The power plant location within the Industrial park was selected taking into
consideration the following:
 The arrival point of the fuel gas pipeline into the Industrial Park: The pipeline
will arrive the industrial Park through the south east area, hence the location
of the Power Plant along south east of the Park.
 The existing facilities around the Industrial park: Having considered the
facilities around the proposed location of the Industrial Park, it was observed
that Orashi River bounds the Park along the eastern axis. This can serve as
a possible water supply for the power plant hence the locating of the power
plant close to the river.
The dimension of the proposed location of the Power Plant ranges between
67.9m by 43.1m and 199.2m by 73m for the different configurations options
considered as shown in Power plant plot plan Appendix T.

9.1 Pipeline
Approvals/Legal Considerations for Pipeline Construction

It is necessary to notify the relevant authorities of the intention to construct a
new pipeline. Authorization would be provided by the DPR, who must be
notiﬁed of any new construction projects and updated on the likely
environmental effects. The following approval should be obtained from DPR.
a. Permit To Survey The Pipeline Route
It is mandatory for the proposed route of the pipeline to be surveyed
before an Oil Pipeline Licence can be granted. For this reason, an
application for a ‘Permit to Survey’ shall be made to DPR in line with
guidelines of the Oil Pipeline Act CAP 338 of the law of the Federation
of Nigeria 1990. The Act is also applicable to gas pipeline as provided in
section II sub-section (2) of the act which defines an oil pipeline as any
pipeline for conveyance of mineral oils, natural gas and any of their
derivatives or components, and also any substance (including steam
and water) used or intended to be used in the production or refining or
conveying of mineral oil, natural gas and any of their derivatives or
components.
b. License To Construct and Operate Pipeline
An Oil Pipeline licence should be applied for within the validity of the
Permit to Survey for the purpose of constructing the proposed pipeline.
In this regard, the provisions of Part III of the Oil Pipelines Act shall be
followed in making the application.
c. Other Approvals
Since the pipeline would be passing through communities and
farmlands; members of the communities and farmers should be
consulted since compensation payments are likely to be made. In

addition, permission will be required in areas where the proposed

pipeline route will cross roads and river crossings. The pipeline also falls
in SPDC OML; therefore it is required that proper approval is obtained
from SPDC and they are properly carried along during the design and
construction stage. An environmental impact assessment should be
performed for the purpose of determining and developing environmental
quality management guidelines for pipeline construction and operation.
d. ROW Survey
A survey (geophysical and geotechnical) of the potential route should be
performed to provide important information such as:
 Soil conditions – Investigated soil conditions will ascertain unstable
ground, wetland and highly corrosive soil. The result of the
investigation may suggest a preferred route.
 Pipeline protection and stability requirement – Pipeline may require
mitigation in terms of concrete weight coating, anchoring etc. to
protect against stability issues, upheaval buckling etc.
 Soil resistivity – Based on this, suitable cathodic protection of the
pipeline system can be designed.
 Metal detector survey – Metal detector survey at locations where
other pipelines or buried structures may be located to establish
depths and types of underground obstructions.
A final detailed route can be designed based on detailed information that would
be obtained from the survey results.

9.2 Electrical
Electricity Generation Licence

In Nigeria an electricity generation licence is needed for any power generation
activity beyond 1MW. A generation licence authorises the licensee to construct,
own, operate and maintain a generation station for purposes of generation and
supply of electricity in accordance with the Electric Power Sector Reform Act,
2005. Subject to this Act, the holder of a generation licence may sell power or
ancillary services to any of the classes of persons specified in the licence.
The Federal Ministry of Power
This is the Government administrative arm that deals with policy formulation
and provides general direction to other agencies involved in the power sector.
The key function of the Ministry is to develop and facilitate the implementation
of policies for the provision of adequate and reliable power supply in the
country. In carrying out its functions, it is guided by the provisions of the
National Electric Power Policy, 2001, the Electric Power Sector Reforms
(EPSR) Act, 2005, the Roadmap for Power Sector Reform, 2010 as well as the
Transformation Agenda on Power of the Federal Government.
Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission
The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) was established by
the EPSR Act, 2005. It is an independent regulatory agency mandated to
regulate and monitor the Nigerian power sector.
The functions of the NERC include, but not limited to, the following:
I. Promote competition and private sector participation, when and where
feasible.
II. Establish or approve appropriate operating codes and safety, security,
reliability and quality standards.
III. License and regulate persons engaged in the generation, transmission,
system operation, distribution and trading of electricity.

IV. Approve amendments to the market rules and monitor the operation of
the electricity market.
Energy Commission of Nigeria
The Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) was established in 1988 with the
statutory mandate for strategic planning and coordination of national policies in
the field of energy.
It was established in line with the declaration of the Heads of The Economic
Community of West African States in 1982 for the establishment of an Agency
in each member state charged with the responsibility of coordinating and
supervising all energy functions and activities.
The functions of the ECN include, but are not limited to, the following:
I. Serve as a centre for gathering and dissemination of information relating
to national policy in the field of energy.
II. Inquire into and advise the Government of the Federation or the State
on adequate funding of the energy sector including research and
development, production and distribution.
III. Monitor the performance of the Energy sector in the execution of
government policies on energy.
IV. Serve as a centre for providing solutions to inter-related technical
problems that may arise in the implementation of any policy relating to
the field of energy.
Presidential Task Force on Power
The Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP) was established in 2010 to drive
the implementation of the reform of Nigeria's power sector.
The role of the PTFP is to co-ordinate the activities of the various agencies
charged with ensuring the removal of legal and regulatory obstacles to private
sector investment in the power industry. It also has the mandate to monitor the
planning and execution of various short-term projects in generation,
