Gas Supplies to NLNG Under Force Majeure

Friday, May 17, 2013

Royal Dutch Shell’s Nigerian unit Shell Petroleum Development Co. (SPDC) declared a force majeure on gas supplies to Nigeria LNG (NLNG). The force majeure was effective the morning of May 15.

The company said it took this action due to production deferment following a reported leak along the Eastern Gas Gathering System (EGGS-1) right-of-way near Awoba in Rivers State.

“In line with safety precautions, we have shut down our Soku and Gbaran Ubie gas export via the EGGS1 pipeline,” the company said in a statement.

Some 1.5 Bcf /d of natural gas is currently impacted. For a limited time and subject to capacity limitations, SPDC will be able to export about 100-200 Mmcf/d from Soku via the GTS1.
