The reply to your concern is in the same article.

Gasol’s strategy in West Africa was (not clear if still is, but what is clear about Gasol anyway?) that of gaining access to the West African Gas Pipeline, a pipeline which was initiated in the early 1980s and completed in 2004, with the intention of carrying gas from Nigeria’s gas reserves to some of the Western African countries in the ECOWAS, namely Benin, Togo and Ghana, giving hope to millions of people living in poor conditions to access electricity at a cheap price (think what Muscat is trying to do in Malta, and think about philanthropy projects in aid of poor African people).

However, it turned out that not only the pipeline project took more than 2 decades to materialise, but after it was commissioned, there was not enough gas flowing from Nigeria to meet demand in the neighbouring countries. There was also sabotage on the pipeline.

Gasol’s strategy was that, until it acquires its own gas reserves in Nigeria, it would build an FSRU terminal at Cotonou harbour in Benin, from where it could feed LNG gas (in gasified form) to intermediariy pipelines leading into the WAGP from where it could then sell its gas to Benin, Togo and Ghana.

This part becomes very interesting, because it touches with a subject which I intended to write about some time in the future, but maybe I can give some details here.

In Ghana, in June this year, Gasol signed an LNG supply deal with the Volta River Authority, the national entity responsible for electricity production in Ghana. The VRA knows its name to the Volta Lake, located on the Volta River, where dams administered by the VRA have since the 1960s provided most, but not all, of Ghana’s electricity requirements. The Volta Lake is the world’s largest water reservoir by surface area.

(The LNG volumes announced here are in gaseous state, not in liquid state as announced for Marsaxlokk, Malta).

Gasol’s deal in Ghana is to supply gas to the VRA for use in the powerstations which run on gas (VRA has diversified its powerstation portfolio), and, as you can see, this is very similar to the arrangement that Gasol is trying to achieve here in Malta with Enemalta.

Having established a strategic alliance agreement with Socar Trading for the supply of LNG, signed in 2012, Gasol can import LNG in Benin and feed to Ghana through the WAGP. The WAGP serves as a common infrastructure, and parties can use that infrastructure to feed in x volume of gas, and take that same volume x of gas out of the pipeline further down along the pipe.

The point is that, one of the main gas plants in Ghana is the 200MW Sunon Asogli Power Plant, which has Chinese owners. It is in fact one of the first plants to be built by independent power producers in Ghana. Need I say more?

Read more here, and think Ghana-China-Malta.

Due to the WAGP gas supply disruptions, this plant has been practically at a stand still since 2012.

No idea why they’re playing sandcastles when material should be taken off site.

As for the hard hats and high heels, not really appropriate. I remember our sales department insisting on keeping packets of new socks to go with the safety shoes reserved for clients.

But that was Carmen Camilleri Ciantar in her better days.

This is an old one, but the line that interests me here is this:

“Cette opération permet à Gasol d’accéder à des projets de pipeline existants putôt que d’avoir à développer ses propres infrastructures.”

This operation/deal permits Gasol to access/ to have access to existing pipeline projects rather than having to develop its own infrastructures.

And why does he always look like he’s about to sneeze?

Oh and while I’m at it, Fenominali, the lipgloss makes you look like a tranny.

So they got a contractor to get a few trucks of useless backfill, dump it and spread it while the cameras were rolling, and probably picked it all up again after. The spin on PBS news was sickening.

Speechless. No words!

I believe they’re fending off capable Maltese, even from other offices, stone-walling them, so that Taghna Lkollers get the placements.

For TVM it’s Dellimara.
