Abstract
Natural gas transportation in Ghana is heavily dependent on trucks (tankers). Due to the highly inflammable nature of natural gas, the trucks sometimes catch fire resulting in the death of the truck drivers and causing a big loss to the gas marketing companies. Gas pipeline transportation is unique in the transportation industry due to its continuous system and time of delivery. The aim of this thesis is to mathematically model optimally, the minimum connection of gas pipelines from Takoradi/Tema to all the capital towns of Ghana. Prim’s algorithm has been used to achieve this.
