Trenching and laying of 400mm pipe on route to Magzi Industrial Estate:
|
Work on the Phase I gas distribution network which will deliver gas to the Magzi Estate and then on to Central Douala, commenced on the 15th July 2011. |
|
Pipe Burial operation in the area above
|
Approx 2.5 km of approximately 4.5km of pipe is either in the ground or jointed waiting trenching. Burial of the pipeline and initial dirt backfill carried out with a digger |
|
1st section of 250mm pipe being installed near the Magzi Estate
|
All buried pipe (approx. 2km) has been back filled and pneumatically tested. Smaller 250mm sections of pipe are being installed near the customer plant gates. |
|
Ditch Witch operation continues – ‘Pulled’ Pipeline operation
|
The Ditch Witch horizontally drills up to a 100m through a launch pit (see left) and then pulls back a welded pipe section from the receiving pit located 100m away back into the launch pit. |

Expro’s process plant vessels, flow lines and equipment are being tested at their base and will be brought to site on skid mounted units as the concrete pads are cured. |
|
Cooler Vessels in the Foreground (separators in the background)
|
Substantial progress in installation of process plant vessels and pipework on site
7 of the 15 vessels are now in situe on concrete pads (plus 2 more vessels delivered to site) and significant installation of pipework and manifolds is complete. |
|
Installation of the De-sander unit adjacent to the well heads:
|
De-sanders have been installed at the well heads to filter out any particulates that may come from the well. This protects the high pressure pipe work between the wellheads and the processing facilities |
|
Wireline operations:
|
A wireline (data acquisition) programme is underway on Logbaba La-105 and -106 with the objective of gathering base line caliper and temperature data on the wells and completions.
