New Agreements Advance Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline Project
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has announced that participating nations have reached the necessary agreements to move forward with the Atlantic African Gas Pipeline project.
The Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project has reached a new milestone following an agreement among the involved countries on the essential terms required to proceed with implementation.
This strategic infrastructure project is estimated to cost approximately 25 billion dollars.
Spanning 6,800 kilometers, the pipeline will traverse 13 countries, aiming to transport natural gas from West Africa to Morocco and onward to Europe.
The project design includes specific connections intended to serve landlocked countries in the Sahel region.
The development is being led by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company and the Moroccan National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines, with current efforts focused on finalizing financing arrangements to commence construction.
