Force majeure: NLNG to review extent of disruption to operations — Official

The Nigeria LNG Ltd.  (NLNG), says it’s currently reviewing the situation with gas suppliers to ascertain the extent of the disruption to its operations.

General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development of NLNG, Mr Andy Odeh,  said in a statement, on Tuesday in Lagos.

Odeh said the company would, as a reasonable and prudent operator, endeavour to mitigate the impact of the force majeure to the extent reasonably possible.

He said NLNG had declared force majeure on product supplies from its production facilities on Bonny Island, Nigeria, following the declaration of force majeure by all its upstream gas suppliers.

According to him, “The notice by the gas suppliers was a result of high flood water levels in their operational areas, leading to a shut-in of gas production which has caused significant disruption of gas supply to NLNG.

“Consequently, NLNG activated force majeure clauses in accordance with the Sales and Purchase Agreements (SPA) provisions.”
