The West African Gas Pipeline Company says it has shut down the system due to loss of pressure.
The operator of the West African Gas Pipeline announced today August 28, 2012 in a press release issued and copied to ghanabusinessnews.com that it has shut down the pipeline system “after experiencing a loss of pressure around the Lome segment of the pipeline this morning,” it says.
As a result, the company says it has stopped all gas deliveries to its onshore stations.
The company says it is working closely with the government agencies and other relevant organisations to investigate the cause of loss of pressure and to ensure safety while rectifying the situation.
The project was established to carry gas from Nigeria to supply to West African countries including Ghana.
