/ Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani approved, on Wednesday, the recommendations of the committee concerned with establishing a fixed platform for imported gas in the Grand Faw Port, the first of its kind in the national oil and gas sector and its related infrastructure.
This came during his chairing, this morning, of a meeting devoted to following up on the procedures for implementing and operating the fixed platform for importing gas, which was approved by the Council of Ministers; to ensure the continuity of gas supply from multiple sources and to fill the shortage in operating power stations, according to a statement issued by the Sudanese media office.
The statement quoted Al-Sudani as saying that the launch of this vital project would not have been possible without the great progress achieved in completing the Grand Faw Port project, and the imminent entry of its docks into service. It is part of the government’s efforts to solve gas supply problems, end the obstacle of imported gas, and completely shift to relying on gas produced from national fields.
The statement added that the approved recommendations, submitted by the committee formed in this regard, included inviting a reputable international consulting company to supervise the technical and commercial aspects, and directing invitations to establish a fixed platform for importing liquefied gas in the Grand Faw Port, with all the infrastructure for this project, and connecting it to the national pipeline network.
