* We have a technology called the VIRTUAL PIPELINE TECHNOLOGY (VPT) - captures flared gas, stranded gas, associate gas (dry or wet - explained in the slide) at any given pressure, processes it, transport and supply the gas at the preferred discharge pressure. Our tubes carries a minimum of 550mscf (could carry more if the road is good and can take the weight). It can also pick up gas from existing pipelines and deliver gas to pipeline disconnected areas.
* Modular Power Plant (minimum of 1.5MW) and can be co-generated (power and steam/hot water).
INSIGHT: building a gigantic MW plants that will take 4 - 5 years to achieve also not considering where the source of feedstock is has been a major problem in West Africa.
Meanwhile, TEI can build modular plants (1.5MW each) 6MW plants + VPT within 6 - 9 months and could have 100 different locations (600MW) over a period of time serving numerous locations, and make the return on your investments within a year or 16 - 18 months as the case may be (depending on the distance from feedstock and discharge pressure) yet achieving the same purpose (or even more) in a significant less amount of time as any stand alone 500MW which will just be concluded in the 4th or 5th year talk less of when the breakeven point will be.
Also, if one station goes out, it does not affect the other 99 plants/stations hence providing light/electricity to a wider range. Another better advantage of our VPT and modular plants and why we are better than any product on earth as of today. So robust, you can deploy in the rural areas.
* Modular Gas Storage - For contingent supplies, we can build modular storage facility (such as a farm tanks) with storage capacity of 7.5mmscf/d and could increase in the same module. It is very scalable in that, other than the fact that we can move it from a location to another, we could also convert the modules to a gas transportation/supply cylinders attached to trucks.
* Modular Gas Separator - used to extract by-products of natural gas in small quantities. Methane to power turbines, Propane for cooking, Butane, LNG, etc. are other by-products we can help monitize...
These are reasons why we are a SOLUTION to the Gas, Power and Energy sectors and looking forward to providing a solution to the existing problems.....
2. Vision Statement
Provide solution to Electricity needs in Africa and
monetize Flared Natural Gas.
The solution utilizes Patented Virtual Pipeline Technology
(VPT) that will provide cost effective Clean Natural Gas (CNG)
which will be used to Power Modular Power Plants and provide
the cheapest delivered energy (power, heat, fuel) solution
(compared to Petrol, Diesel, LNG) to end users.

3. Proposal
Utilize currently Flared gas and Gas from existing gas
facilities (for example NGC) to generate Electricity using
a combination of modular clean gas processing facility
and Modular Power Plant.
This proposal includes Gas Gathering, Processing, Storage, Transportation and
Distribution to end users in pipeline disconnected places including existing and
modular Power Plants (proposed as a full package), Airport, Hospitals,
manufacturing industries, state and federal offices, homes in the community
and other power demanding establishments, etc.

5. Flare Gas Capture and Processing
5
TEI Flare Capture solution entails capturing the entire flare stream and
delivering it for centralized processing resulting in a solution that:
Eliminates the greatest amount of flare of any competitive offering,
Captures the highest % of NGLs of any competitive offering
Monetizes the residue gas stream rather than flaring it.
Currently - Flaring TEI Technology
6. Gas Conditioning – Monetizing By-Product
Process all flare capture without flaring condensates and
other by-products of Associated Gas
Propane/butane mix is extracted from gas stream into sales
condition for the local/regional market
Condensate stream (C5+) can be blended with Crude for
sales and monetization or as gasoline blendstock

13. Advantages of VPT
Higher efficiency
Very attractive Economics
Less initial Capex compared to competing Technology

Compression is very cheap
Less distance makes project more attractive
Quickly achievable
Typical project is in operation in less than a year
Less commissioning and specialized expertise needed for
ongoing plant operations

14. Distributed versus Centralized Power Generation
Distributed generation is much cheaper (in some cases 50%
cheaper) than centralized generation
Cost per KW generated is much cheaper
Modular construction (1.5MW in a fully packaged ISO 40’ container)
Enables CHP (Combined Heat and Power) with efficiencies >70% @ 1.5MW
Centralized station combined cycle turbines <60% @ 500MW scale
Complexity in Distributed generation is much less
No need to plan transmission lines and guard against electricity line theft
Distributed generation is built faster than centralized generation
Faster return on investment
Modular construction delivers energy where needed most, with fast install
1.5MW will power about 1,500 homes in a rural area
Less in Urban homes with Air conditioning and other high power homes
Less interruption
Station interruption doesn’t mean complete outage in the city
Much easier maintenance

Health hazards from gas flare pollution will be greatly reduced.
Technology ensures the realization of Government’s intention to increase the
national electricity generation and enhance economic activities.
Technology helps meet Power requirements in the country - Prepare country for
future investment
Make Africa more attractive to major investors in the world Market
Income generation - Take for instance, if 6MMscf/d of gas flared in an oil field
gathered and utilized. This will yield additional yearly revenue of $5.4 M (Five
Million Four Hundred thousand US dollars) at gas price of $2.5 per 1Mscf
Monetizing high GOR wells - Instead of closing in high Gas-Oil-Ratio wells,
Produced Hydrocarbon gas and stranded gas can easily be transferred to power
plants to supply needed electricity

30. Volume of gas Transportable - Flexible Transportation medium helps break the
barrier of volume restriction. We can now transport higher volumes of clean
processed Natural gas over longer distances (either by barges/rail)
Efficiency - Provides higher efficiency of about 35% than other competing
providers in the market with the use of the Patented ChillFill technology
Flexibility – Can serve multiple users using the Cascade Delivery Technology
