NLNG clarifies that Bonny plant maintains limited operations
Nigeria’s liquefied natural gas export company, the NLNG Limited, has made it clear that whereas flooding and associated feedgas cuts have impacted it operations, the company still processes and exports its products at limited capacity.
Spokesman, Mr Andy Odeh, clarified in a second statement on the company’s declaration of force majeure that the NLNG Limited has not shut down its operations due to the crisis.
His second statement came in response to media reports (not from The Oracle Today), that erroneously interpreted the first statement declaring Force Majeure on Monday 17th October 2022 that operations at its facilities have been shut down due to flood.
“NLNG clarifies as follows.
“The Company’s plant is in operation though at a limited capacity, due to reduced gas supply from some of its upstream gas suppliers.
“None of NLNG’s assets on Bonny Island or in any of its host communities are impacted by the flood. The Force Majeure is as a consequence of a similar notice by Upstream Gas Suppliers due to the impact of flood in their production facilities.
“NLNG is working with all critical stakeholders on mitigating the impact on product deliveries.
“NLNG continues to monitor the situation with Upstream Gas Suppliers and is evaluating the impact of the flood on its business.”
