Frontier Oil supplies gas to Alaoji, Calabar power plants

FRONTIER Oil Limited (FOL), an indigenous oil and gas exploration and production company, and the operator of the Uquo Marginal Field and the 200mmscfpd central processing facility, has commenced the supply of gas to Alaoji, Calabar and Ibom independent power plants.

Chief Executive Officer of FOL, Dada Thomas, who made this revelation in the paper he presented at the recently concluded Society for Petroleum Engineers (SPE) forum in Lagos, said that the gas from its facilities has contributed immensely to the improved power supply in the country.

He stated: “The gas that fires the turbines of the Alaoji, Calabar and Ibom independent power plants is supplied from the Uquo Marginal Field and Uquo central processing plant, both operated by Frontier Oil Limited. These plants produce an estimated cumulative power generation of eight per cent of the total power supply from the national grid.”
