The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) has confirmed that its operation is intact as none of the communities where it operates was affected by flood.
The gas company had earlier notified of likely disruption in supply to its clients as exploration and production companies that supply natural gas to its plants cried out they would be constrained to supply gas as stipulated in the gas supply agreement following shut down of their assets and facilities due to flooding.
Eventually, some reports mistook that for shut down of NLNG operation. To clarify the distortion, the NLNG said in a press statement that it is still fully in operation only that the plants don’t operate at full scale due to reduced gas supply by operating companies.
In a statement by the General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Andy Odeh, the gas company said: “The attention of Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has been brought to media reports, following the issuance of a statement declaring Force Majeure on Monday 17th October 2022, that operations at its facilities have been shut down due to flood.
“NLNG will like to clarify as follows:
“The Company’s plant is in operation though at a limited capacity, due to reduced gas supply from some of its upstream gas suppliers.
“None of NLNG’s assets on Bonny Island or in any of its host communities are impacted by the flood. The Force Majeure is as a consequence of a similar notice by Upstream Gas Suppliers due to the impact of flood in their production facilities.
“NLNG is working with all critical stakeholders on mitigating the impact on product deliveries.
“NLNG continues to monitor the situation with Upstream Gas Suppliers and is evaluating the impact of the flood on its business.”
