Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) says that its gas plant in Bonny has not been shut down contrary to report making the round saying the report is false and misleading.
According to the statement signed on Friday by the company’s General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Andy Odeh, NLNG 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.
“Our attention has been brought to a report on 17th August 2023 titled “NLNG prolonged shutdown threatens gas production,” published in one of the national newspapers.
“Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) states that the report is false and misleading,” the statement read.
Odeh said the Bonny plant has continued to produce LNG and LPG commensurate with the feed gas it receives from its upstream gas suppliers, adding that its cargo loading operation has also continued 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,” Odey said.
