Angola LNG saw the sale of its first LPG cargo from its plant in Soyo. The first cargo was sold to Sonangol on a Free on Board (FOB) Soyo basis and shipped by the LPG carrier BW Broker. All LPG and condensate products have been committed for sale to the shareholder affiliates of Angola LNG.
Commenting on the first cargo Artur Pereira, CEO, Angola LNG Marketing, said, “In addition to LNG production for international markets propane, butane and condensate production at Angola LNG is an important part of our operational and commercial activity. Our LPG and condensate production will help to supply both domestic and export markets with their energy needs.”
In addition to its LNG facilities Angola LNG’s liquids infrastructure at its production plant in Soyo includes storage tanks for 88,000 m3 of propane, 59,000 m3 of butane, and 108,000 m3 of condensate. It has a jetty dedicated to propane, butane and condensate loading and a second jetty for pressurized butane loadings which will serve the domestic market.
