(Business in Cameroon) - Société nationale des hydrocarbures (SNH), the State-owned oil and gas company, has announced a significant increase in gas production, attaining 9.16 billion cubic feet in late October 2014, up by 124% relative to the same period last year.
This increase in natural gas production, highlights the SNH, is essentially due to activity in the Sanaga South field, off the coastal city of Kribi. Indeed, according to SNH statistics, the field produced 8.13 billion cubic feet up to late October 2014, which is 90% of overall production compared to the 1.03 billion cubic feet produced by the Logbaba field in the suburbs of Douala.
Out of this production, 8.22 billion cubic feet were delivered to the company managing the Kribi gas plant. “Although slightly below the minimum required removal amount, this level of consumption is nevertheless higher compared to 2013,” stated the SNH.
