Contrary to what is making the rounds on social media, the management of Nigeria LNG Ltd. (NLNG) said on Thursday that the company’s plant was operating at a lower capacity because some of its upstream gas suppliers were sending less gas than usual.
In a statement released on Thursday in Lagos by Mr. Andy Odeh, the general manager of NLNG’s external relations and sustainable development division.
Odeh said: “None of NLNG’s assets on Bonny Island or in any of its host communities are impacted by the flood.
“The Force Majeure is a consequence of a similar notice by upstream gas suppliers due to the impact of the floods on their production facilities.
“NLNG continues to monitor the situation with upstream gas suppliers and is evaluating the impact of the flood on its business,” he said.
In order to lessen the impact on product deliveries, Odeh gave the assurance that NLNG was working with all important parties.
On October 17, NLNG issued a force majeure declaration due to flooding at its facilities.
