Sahara Gas
Sahara, through Sahara Gas Line is a major player in the African gas market with stakes in several LNG & Gas ventures. Recently, WAGL Energy Ltd. (formerly West Africa Gas Limited – WAGL) a joint venture company of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Sahara Gas Limited unveiled two 38,000 CBM LPG vessels, MT Africa Gas and MT Sahara Gas worth $101 million in Ulsan, South Korea to ensure stability in the supply of LPG to West Africa. The design and size allow the vessels to berth at virtually any LPG terminal facility globally which in turn enables Sahara to benefit from the increase in intra-regional LPG trade growth. It also allows Sahara to deliver LPG to smaller ports with limited logistics to capture the “bulk-break trading margin”.
Sahara Gas Line is also actively involved in the Nigerian Gas Master Plan Project through strategic investment in the West Niger Delta (WND) Central Gas Processing Facilities (CPF) Project. Through its partnership with the NNPC to form WAGL Energy Ltd., Sahara trades NNPC’s equity share of LPG and condensate from Nigeria LNG.
