The Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas pipeline project, a joint venture project between Oilserv Limited, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) was flagged off by President Muhammadu Buhari who was ably represented by the Governor of Kogi State; Yahaya Adoza Bello on 30th June, 2020.

Oilserv is 100 percent ready to execute the contract that will boost the country’s gas distribution by establishing a connecting pipeline network between the eastern, western and northern regions of Nigeria.

Oilserv have pooled the expertise of highly qualified and experienced engineers, technicians and other support personnel to provide Total Quality Services (TQS) that will ensure the timely and successful completion of the project.

The AKK pipeline is a 614km-long natural gas pipeline set to be laid between Ajaokuta and Kano in Nigeria and forms the first Phase of the Trans-Nigeria Gas Pipeline (TNGP) project. The TNGP project is an integral part of the proposed 4,401km-long Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline (TSGP) to export natural gas to countries in Europe. The AKK pipeline is slated to originate from Ajaokuta and pass through Abuja and Kaduna, before ending at a terminal gas station in Kano.

The AKK Gas pipeline project will mark the beginning of the implementation of the plan to create a steady and guaranteed gas supply network between the northern and southern parts of Nigeria by utilizing the country’s widely available gas resources.

The pipeline will also reduce the large volume of gas flared annually in Nigeria, reducing the subsequent environmental impact it causes. The AKK natural gas pipeline project is also expected to promote and increase the local usage of domestic gas, while increasing the country’s revenue generation through the export of natural gas.
