The Australian engineering group WorleyParsons has been selected to provide main front-end engineering design (FEED Phase II) services for the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) project. WorleyParsons will carry out the onshore FEED scope, the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Land Acquisition Studies (LAS). It will also explore the acceleration of electrification and the feasibility of energy self-sufficiency in the region.
The Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project, proposed by the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM) of Morocco and Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of Nigeria, would consist in a 7,000 km-long gas pipeline crossing 13 west African countries and delivering Nigerian gas to Morocco. It might later be extended to Europe.
