As part of 2025 Action Plan by the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), Morocco has launched tenders for Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline
Targeted for the pipelines on the Moroccan side, these tenders cover the initial phases of the project. Besides Morocco, Mauritania and Senegal are also included in the first phase.
A private company is set to be established with an objective to supervise project construction, operation and maintenance.
Far-reaching project
Morocco covers 1,672 kilometers of the 5,600 km-long pipeline that will also connect the Maghreb Europe Gas Pipeline and the European gas network.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited deployed the first compressor station for the far-reaching project which is set to motion across Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Ghana. A second round of memoranda of understanding last year expanded the pipeline network to include Guinea, Ivory Coast, Liberia and Benin.
