Victoria Oil & Gas's Wouri pipeline ready for connection

Victoria Oil & Gas (LON:VOG) said it has successfully completed hydraulic and pressure testing of its pipeline under the Wouri River in Cameroon.

The 678 metre pipeline will connect its existing network to a new hub on the Bonaberi shore in Douala, Cameroon's major industrial city.

Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) will now connect three customers to the pipeline already laid in the Bonaberi area, Victoria said, adding it will announce when they are online.

GDC‘s network in Douala is all serviced by Victoria’s nearby Logbaba gas field.

"This crossing under the Wouri River is truly an outstanding achievement by our contractor Britanica and our GDC engineering team,” said chairman Kevin Foo last month.
