A subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas Company, Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), has successfully completed its thermal gas connection to the Cameroonian glass manufacturer, Socaver. The parent company made this announcement on February 4, 2014.

The Socaver factory, itself a subsidiary of Société anonyme des brasseries du Cameroun (SABC), which is also switching over to gas, has a potential consumption volume of 400,000 cubic feet of gas per day. According to some sources, its demand can reach 764,000 cubic feet per day.

The newly installed connection, which will supply as many as 6 furnaces “is a great deal and will increase sales for Gaz du Cameroun,” stated Board Chairman, Kevin Foo.

According to the oil and gas specialist, teams from both companies have been working closely for several months to complete Socaver’s transition from heavy fuel to thermal gas.
