The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited has said gas production from its plant in Bonny Island, River State, is still active.

It debunked reports which earlier alleged that the continued shutdown of operations by NLNG was a looming danger to the country’s annual production of 22 million tonnes of gas.

In a statement, Andy Odeh,
General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development reiterated that operation at its plant on Bonny Island has remained  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 statement read in part; “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.

“NLNG remains committed to collaborating with key stakeholders to minimise the impact of the consequent gas supply shortage. He said.
