The Federal Government has given approval to Green Energy International Limited to commence the construction of the 12 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD) capacity Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) extraction plant at Ikuru Town, in Rivers State, Vanguard reports.

The Approval To Construct (ATC) license of the 12MMSCFD capacity plant, was issued by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) to Green Energy, operator of the Otakikpo marginal field in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 11, sequel to the company’s successful submission of the detailed engineering design (DED). The company was, in 2017, issued with a Licence to Establish (LTE) the plant by the DPR, which is the first in the series of licences to be obtained by companies for such a project.

In a statement in Abuja, weekend, Green Energy said the engineering design was produced under the supervision of the indigenous operator by its contractors, PCC-LAMBDA Consortium, formed between Nigerian indigenous companies and a Chinese company – Peiyang Chemical Equipment Company Limited (PCC) who is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and would also be responsible for manufacturing and design activities associated with the project.
