East Horizon Gas Company (EHGC)

East Horizon Gas Company Limited was set up to develop and operate a natural gas pipeline system supplying gas to Mfamosing, Cross River State from the Nigerian Gas Company pipeline in Ukanafum, Akwa Ibom State.

The pipeline system is an 18-inch, 128km gas pipeline traversing forests, swamps and built-up areas. In addition, 8 major river crossings were accomplished through the use of Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) during project construction.

The pipeline has a 100 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) capacity and currently supplies 22 mmscf/d to its foundation customer, United Cement Company (UNICEM). The gas is utilized to fuel UNICEM’s 2.5 million metric tonnes per annum Cement Plant located in Mfamosing. EHGC will leverage the pipeline to build a distribution network that will supply natural gas to other interested off-takers in the Calabar area.

The pipeline was commissioned in November 2011.
