ExxonMobil Says PNG LNG Plant Back To Normal Production Rates
ExxonMobil has said that it expected the facility to reach full capacity in May and confirmed that exports of LNG have resumed.
“Production has been gradually increasing since the Hides gas conditioning plant and one train at the PNG LNG plant restarted earlier this month,” Australia’s Santos, which owns a 13.5 percent stake in the operations, said.
The PNG LNG plant, which Exxon operates and in which it has a 33.2 percent stake, was shut down in the wake of a deadly earthquake in Papua New Guinea’s energy-rich interior on the 26th February.
In mid-April, the company announced that it had resumed production at the facility a fortnight ahead of schedule.
