A recent visit by a delegation from Course 10 of the Naval War College to ANOH Gas Processing Company (AGPC) facility has provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and reinforced the importance of inter-agency collaboration in promoting safety, security, and operational efficiency within Nigeria’s critical energy infrastructure.
The tour was as part of the team’s study programme ahead of their promotion examinations. It was designed to provide participants with practical exposure to industrial operations, safety systems, and security frameworks within a critical oil and gas installation.
The participants gained deeper insight into oil and gas facility operations, with a focus on Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) systems, and the security dynamics of operating within a processing plant environment.
The programme commenced with a safety moment delivered by the HSE team, highlighting the importance of safety awareness, hazard identification, and strict adherence to established protocols.
A comprehensive camp and HSE induction was then followed with the participants being taken through site-specific safety rules, emergency procedures, restricted areas, and expected conduct within the facility.
The delegation was received on behalf of the General Manager (Operations), Engr. Amaechi Nwogbe, by the Production Manager, Engr. Mokwe Uche. He emphasised the strategic importance of AGPC, while reaffirming the company’s commitment to operational excellence, safety, and collaboration with national institutions.
Further engagements featured detailed presentations by the HSE team on AGPC’s HSE management systems, including its risk management approach, incident prevention strategies, and emergency preparedness structure.
The participants were also provided with an overview of the company’s operations, covering gas processing activities, condensate handling and evacuation processes, key infrastructure, and production expectations.
A presentation on the facility’s tactical security systems was delivered by AGCP’s Simon Udie, who outlined surveillance systems, access control mechanisms, threat identification processes, and mitigation strategies, as well as the security challenges within the operating environment.
After the feedback session, Uche expressed appreciation to the delegation and encouraged sustained collaboration between AGPC and the Nigerian Navy.
The Commandant of the Naval War College, Rear Admiral Muye presented an award to AGPC management in recognition of the company’s support and contribution to the training and development of senior naval officers.
