Sierra Leone: using associated gas at fuel terminal and power supply, choosing between skid liquefaction and CCHP

Gas use around fuel terminal and power supply is shifting from flaring to on-site conversion, lifting processing and power demand near Freetown; the choice starts from the gas curve and composition, not from unit size.

Key points

Associated and scattered well gas in Sierra Leone is moving from flaring to on-site conversion, raising processing, liquefaction and power demand around fuel terminal and power supply.
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.
