Morocco-Nigeria Gas Pipeline Project Advances to Engineering Study Phase

This study will be carried out by large international groups, namely Intecsea BV and the Australian engineering company Worley on the one hand, and the German company ILF Consulting Engineers and Doris Group on the other, reports Hespress, citing sources from the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM). The MetOcean team of the British company RPS Group will be responsible for data collection for this mega-project, it is reported.
