N-Sea, a Netherlands-based underwater solutions provider, is contributing to the development of the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline (NMGP) project through survey operations.
The company has collaborated closely with ship owner Rederij Groe to transform the seismic support vessel, 7-Waves, into a research vessel equipped with advanced equipment for this project.
According to N-Sea, the project is being conducted with a reduced crew on board the vessel, with all data being transferred to the N-Sea data center onshore.
Daily meetings are held with the client’s representative, the FEED engineer, the client, and the company’s data processors to assess data quality and route alignment, N-Sea said in a statement.
“N-Sea has expanded its operational area to West Africa by commencing survey operations to support the prestigious Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project,” emphasized N-Sea.
N-Sea emphasized the significance of the project, noting that the pipeline is set to connect multiple countries and provide intermittent onshore returns for compression as a base case. The Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline is an ambitious project aimed at helping Africa become self-sufficient in terms of energy needs and benefiting over 400 million people in West Africa. It will connect 11 countries in the region to Nigerian gas sources.
