Shared gas
One gathering system is planned to serve LNG, methanol and power, instead of three separate supply projects.
Burutu, Delta State, Nigeria
Burutu Energy Hub
Integrated Energy & Logistics Platform.
A gas-fired power plant, modular LNG, a methanol plant and an industrial estate, co-located on the Burutu port concession so the assets share gas, power and the quay.
- 250 MW
- First-stage power
- 2.0 MTPA
- Modular LNG
- 1.0 MTPA
- Methanol, phase 1
- 2,010 ha
- Surveyed industrial land
Why one platform
Stronger on one estuary than as four separate projects
Captive power
The power plant is sized to feed the hub’s own plants and estate tenants before anything is exported.
Its own cargo
The plants and the first tenants are meant to give the port concession cargo of its own, in the way Onne and the LADOL yard did for their quays.
Integrated flow
From gas molecule to offtake
01
Upstream feedstock
Phase 1 gas is planned from OML 109 (Ejulebe). A second phase draws on OMLs 43 and 45. Supply is at framework stage.
02
Processing at the hub
Gas is gathered and processed on the industrial land behind the Burutu port concession, including modular LNG liquefaction.
03
Power and liquids
A 250 MW first-stage plant serves the hub first. Methanol is a separate phase-1 plant of 1.0 MTPA.
04
Offtake
Power for the hub and the grid, domestic gas and industrial use, and regional LNG and methanol export once contracts exist.
Asset portfolio
Five lines, one hub
Feedstock
Gas and midstream
OML 109 as the anchor supply, then OMLs 43 and 45. Planning case of 180 MMscfd, then 100 MMscfd. Framework only.
Power
250 MW gas-to-power
Combined-cycle first stage, sized to the hub’s own load, with export of the balance.
LNG
Modular LNG
2.0 MTPA in two trains of 1.0 MTPA. Domestic, West African and trading routes, ahead of a long-term export SPA.
Methanol
Methanol, phase 1
1.0 MTPA in the base case. A second train is an option and is not in the base case.
Land and marine
Industrial land
2,010 hectares surveyed at Angolo-Oba and Aghoro 2. The hub itself needs about 1,000 hectares.
