NLNG debunks shutting down operations @Bonny Island - ITREALMS

ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

The management of the Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG) Limited, has debunked some media reports that its operation has been shutdown, reports ITREALMS.

The General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Mr. Andy Odeh in a press statement available to ITREALMS, said that their attention have been brought to a report on August 17, 2023 entitled “NLNG prolonged shutdown threatens gas production,” published in one of the national newspapers.

According to him, NLNG insisted that the report was false and misleading.

NLNG, he also said, reiterated that operation at its plant on Bonny Island is still active despite a Force Majeure, which still subsists due to the unavailability of upstream gas suppliers’ major liquids evacuation pipelines occasioned by sabotage and vandalism.

"The plant continues to produce LNG and LPG commensurate to the feed gas it receives from its upstream gas suppliers. Its cargo loading operation also continues without interruption. The latest cargo from the Bonny plant sailed on 17th August 2023 to the St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, carrying 140,000 M3 of LNG," Odeh said.

NLNG, he maintained, remained committed to collaborating with key stakeholders to minimise the impact of the consequent gas supply shortage.
