The multipurpose complex, christened “Gas Complex” lies within the enclave of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant in the Ellembele District of the Western Region. Construction of the facility begun in November 2017 and was completed as scheduled in November 2018, by SINOPEC Corporation together with other sub-contractors.

President Nana Addo at a durbar held today on the premises of the new Gas Complex located at A.B Bokazo, acknowledged that the facility is a realization of a critical component of the Western Corridor Gas Infrastructure Development Project Agreement.

“The Gas Complex was originally conceived as an integral component of the Western Corridor Gas Infrastructure Development Project Agreement which was signed with SINOPEC Corporation in November 2011” he mentioned.
