Minister Conrad Enill Visits BUD For Pipeline Construction Closing | |||||
NGC recently hosted the Minister of Energy &
Energy Industries as he toured the BUD Slug catcher facility
and the CIP Launcher Station in Beachfield. The company also
took the opportunity on that day to host a small ceremony
for the BUD Project team, Contractors, staff, and media in
the vicinity of the slug catcher site. This ceremony and tour signified the Closing of the BUD Project. The golden weld (final weld) was done in February on this 66-kilometre, 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline at Rustville, Guayaguayare. The pipeline will transport natural gas from the Cassia B platform to Beachfield, Guayaguayare. |
This will enable the network to run more efficiently and be capable of delivering up to 2 Bcf/d of gas as demand grows up to 2012. Commissioning of the new pipeline commenced in March with first gas expected to flow in the line in second quarter 2008. |
