FLOWLINES.

(4” SCH 80 x 5.9km) GAS FLOWLINE WITH 3LPE PIPES

Introduction
The scope of work involves the construction of Two (2) in number gas flowlines with a combined
estimated total length of 5.9km, using 4” Sch 80 (X52) 3 LPE line pipes.
One of the gas flowlines will originate from Well #4 in Obumeze community and will terminate
at the Gas Plant manifold located north of the Gas Plant, measuring estimated 2.8km. The
second gas flowline will originate from Well #9 in Omaraka community and will terminate at
the Gas Plant manifold located north of the Gas Plant, measuring estimated 3.1km.
The material of construction will be 4” Sch 80 (X52) line pipes, coated with 3 Layer
Polyethylene. The work will be executed in the Ogbele field in Ahoada East Local Government
