SINOPEC, the Chinese construction company working on the gas processing plant says the gas infrastructure project will be completed by April this year. This will enable gas to be fired from the Jubilee fields through to the Aboadze Thermal plant.

On a visit to the project site in November last year, contractors at the site told President John Mahama 75% of work was completed. They projected April 2014, deadline for the completion of the project. The contractors seem to be well on track to completing the project.
