Angola LNG Start Delayed to Early 2013

摘要

Angola LNG says it will likely ship its maiden cargo in the first quarter of 2013, a full year late, because of technical problems — confirming what sources earlier told WGI (WGI Oct.31' 12). Unveiling third-quarter results last week, Angola LNG part-owner Chevron said the 5.2 million ton per year scheme is still going through start-up, as typical commissioning hiccups have created more problems than normal IOD 121105). Other partners are Angolan state Sonangol with 22.8%, and BP, Eni and Total with 13.6% each.
