Uzu: Investments in Technology Earned GPPSL Oil Industry Recognition

Peter Uzoho

The Managing Director, Global Process & Pipeline Services Limited (GPPSL), Mr. Obi Uzu, has said that the Pipeline Tool Award the company received at the just concluded Nigeria International Energy Summit 2023 was a recognition for the huge investments the firm made over the years in the country’s oil and gas industry.

Uzu stated this in a statement issued after receiving the award at the annual energy summit held recently in Abuja.

“We have forged enduring partnerships and made enormous investments in our bid to become the reference point for indigenous capacity for process and pipeline services in the country and we are happy that the industry has taken note of our genuine efforts,” Uzu said. 

He said one of the feats that stood GPPSL out in recent times was its partnership with IK-Group of Norway which delivered for the first time in Nigeria and Africa the removal and change out of a 36-inch cryogenic pipeline gate valve.

 The prvalve executed in June 2022, was the first and largest Add-on Gate Valve (AOGV) ever deployed on the African continent to solve long-term stuck valve issue for a major LNG plant.
