The Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has refuted the claims that the explosin at a gas processing plant in an upstream facility at Gbarain Ubie, Yenagoa Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, on Tuesday had impacted on its gas supply.
According to a statement signed by General Manager of External Relations and Sustainable Development, Andy Odeh, NLNG wishes to assure the public and our stakeholders that this incident does not impact the gas supply to the NLNG plant or our operations.
In an initial report, Shell confirmed that a fire that broke out near its Gbaran Ubie gas facility in Nigeria’s coastal Bayelsa state on Tuesday had been put out.
“We are pleased to report that the fire outside our Gbaran Central Processing Facility went out last night, and a regulator-led Joint Investigation Visit is being planned to determine the cause and impact,” a Shell spokesperson told Reuters on Thursday.
The Gbaran facility, which began operations in 2010, is by far the most important Nigeria LNG gas feedstock project, processing almost 2 Bft3d of gas.
