Production has resumed at the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas
plant after the resumption of supplies from Shell Petroleum
Development Co.'s Soku gas plant, but the force majeure on LNG
deliveries has not been lifted, a spokesman for NLNG said
Wednesday.
"(The) Soku gas plant is currently providing gas at lower rates
than its maximal capacity and pre-force majeure levels," he said in
an email.
The force majeure remains in place, "pending the time SPDC
clears all the remaining operational and other relevant issues," he
said.
SPDC is a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN),
Nigerian National Petroleum Co., Eni SpA (E) and Total SA
(TOT).
