National gas development taskforce presents report to President
The National Gas Development Taskforce established
by President John Evans Atta Mills to review and
make appropriate recommendations for the speedy
realization of a national gas commercialization
infrastructure system, has presented its final
report and recommendations to the President at the
Osu Castle on Wednesday.

A statement signed by Mr Koku Anyidoho, Head of
Communications at the Presidency, indicated that
chairman of the taskforce, Dr. Kwesi Botchwey,
said that the work of the team proved to be much
more
complex and extensive than anticipated but the
team remained undaunted by the unexpected
challenges.

The recommendations include an early phase, which
if implemented expeditiously, would enable the
evacuation and treatment of associated gas from
the Jubilee Field production, according to the
statement.

It said: “in the long term, the establishment of
a full scale processing facility will enhance LPG
recovery as well as the treatment of gas from
phase 2 of the Jubilee Fields production as well
as other gas fields that will come into operation
over time.”

The statement said President Mills thanked Dr.
Botchwey and his colleagues for a good work done
and gave the assurance that the recommendations
would be carefully studied and implemented.
