Idku LNG Bound for UK

Sunday, April 8, 2018

The UK will receive a LNG shipment from Egypt’s Shell-operated Idku liquefaction plant this month, according to reports out of the North African country.

Shell has hired the Maran Gas Apollonia to deliver the LNG cargo. The cargo is destined for the UK’s Dragon LNG import facility located in Milford Haven.

This could hail the return of Egypt to the net natural gas exporter. The country turned into a net gas importer during 2016 due to an increase in demand from the domestic market. The advent of production from more than one gas field, including the massive Zohr field, could turn the tides on the country’s status.
