Angola LNG plant shuts down for 32 days in scheduled maintenance
Angola Liquefied Natural Gas plant will undergo a planned 32-day maintenance shutdown starting today, the country's national oil and gas agency ANPG said in a statement on Wednesday.
The plant's shutdown will be in conjunction with the maintenance campaigns of the Sanha complex and the Sanha floating, production, storage and offloading platform in Area B offshore Cabinda.
During the month-long shutdown Angola LNG will suspend all gas and related derivative production, which is expected to reduce monthly output and loading by some 80%.
The shutdown impact at the Sanha Complex and Sanha FPSO is estimated at 49,000 bpd.
ANPG said the LNG plant, whose shareholders include Chevron, Eni, bp, TotalEnergies and state-owned oil company Sonangol, is working to ensure it meets its contractual obligations.
Angola LNG plant, commissioned more than a decade ago at a cost of $12 billion, is considering boosting output after running below its nameplate capacity for years as gas production fell at the mature fields supplying the facility.
