Cameroon: using associated gas at Rio del Rey and coastal fields, choosing between skid liquefaction and CCHP
Gas use around Rio del Rey and coastal fields is shifting from flaring to on-site conversion, lifting processing and power demand near Douala; the choice starts from the gas curve and composition, not from unit size.

Key points
- Associated and scattered well gas in Cameroon is moving from flaring to on-site conversion, raising processing, liquefaction and power demand around Rio del Rey and coastal fields.
- Skid liquefaction and CCHP are the two common combinations: the first turns gas into LNG that is easier to move and sell, the second supplies power and heat directly to drilling pads, processing stations and gathering facilities.
- Before deciding, verify the gas curve, composition and site conditions, especially sulphur, water content and pressure swings; sizing for the lowest stable flow rather than the peak is the safer basis.

This note offers a configuration approach and promises no payback period or output; the actual scheme follows gas test reports and environmental and safety approvals in Cameroon.
