Renaissance Unveils Major Flare Reduction Project, Adds 100MMscf/d Gas to Domestic Market Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited has commissioned its flagship Southern Swamp Associated Gas Solutions (SSAGS) Project in Delta State — a development that injects 100 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMscf/d) into Nigeria’s domestic energy market and accelerates the country’s flare-out ambitions. The project, located within Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 35 and 46 in the coastal swamp region south of Warri, also unlocks access to an estimated 820 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) in discovered and yet-to-be-developed reserves. According to the company, the SSAGS infrastructure forms the anchor for long-term gas and oil development within the Tunu Node. A Major Step Toward Ending Routine Gas Flaring Renaissance Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tony Attah, described the project as a landmark achievement in the company’s strategy to eliminate routine flaring across its Tunu, Opukushi, Benisede, and Ogbotobo operations. “This is a milestone that marks a significant achievement in our commitment to delivering sustainable energy solutions and advancing associated gas utilisation,” Attah said. “The SSAGS project was initiated to provide Associated Gas Gathering (AGG) infrastructure to eliminate routine flaring from the Tunu producing nodes for power generation, industrial use, and economic growth.” He added that 100MMscf of natural gas—when utilised for power generation—can supply electricity to about 6,700 households for a full year, with a ripple effect that stimulates thousands of direct and indirect jobs across the gas value chain. High Nigerian Content, Strong Economic Impact Renaissance noted that over 90% of the project’s work was executed in-country, contributing to workforce development and local content growth. Attah hailed the project as not just an infrastructure milestone but “a symbol of innovation, resilience, and collaboration,” adding that although it is the first project completed under the Renaissance brand, “this is just the beginning.” Improved Environmental and Operational Performance Chief Production Officer, Mr. Mesh Maichibi, explained that SSAGS routes all associated gas to four flow stations — Tunu, Ogbotobo, Benisede, and Opukushi — enabling seamless evacuation through the Trans Ramos Pipeline to the Forcados Export Terminal. He said the project advances Nigeria’s national commitment to ending gas flaring and strengthens the domestic gas network with more than 30% additional contribution from Renaissance. The processed gas is prioritised for domestic utilisation through the Escravos–Lagos Pipeline System (ELPS), with an alternative route to the Nigeria LNG (NLNG) plant in Bonny to ensure continuous oil production even when the domestic export route is unavailable. Host Communities Commend Project Impact Representing the SSAGS host communities, King Jacob Israel Monday Ogbolo, the Amanana-Owei of Egbemo-Anagalabiri kingdom, praised the project for enabling peaceful collaboration and creating employment opportunities for local residents. “Anytime we come in here, we see indigenes and non-indigenes working together peacefully,” he said. Significant Volumes Already Delivered Since commencement, the SSAGS project has exported approximately 158 billion standard cubic feet (scf) of gas — with 98 billion scf supplied to the domestic network and 60.1 billion scf delivered to NLNG in Bonny. Renaissance reaffirmed that the SSAGS Project stands as a pivotal component of its long-term commitment to energy security, industrialisation, environmental stewardship, and sustainable economic growth in Nigeria.

Renaissance Unveils Major Flare Reduction Project, Adds 100MMscf/d Gas to Domestic Market
