Trinidad and Tobago’s Atlantic LNG export plant is about to ship its 4800th cargo of liquefied natural gas since 1999.
LNG producer Atlantic LNG, owned by Shell, BP, and NGC, revealed this in a social media post on Thursday.
In April 1999, Atlantic LNG celebrated its first cargo shipment on the LNG carrier Matthew.
“Twenty-five years later, we celebrate our 4800th cargo transfer onto the British Listener,” Atlantic LNG said.
According to Atlantic LNG, the LNG tanker berthed at 0620 hours on July 17, and will load 150,000 cubic meters of LNG.
The 2019-built 173,400-cbm LNG carriers serves a charter with BP.
“This achievement demonstrates Atlantic’s commitment to safe and reliable operations, as well as Trinidad and Tobago’s continued importance in the global LNG industry,” Atlantic LNG said.
In December 2023, Trinidad and Tobago has finally signed a restructuring deal with the shareholders of LNG producer Atlantic LNG, Shell, BP, and NGC.
The Point Fortin facility features four trains with a total capacity of about 15 million tonnes per annum of LNG but the facility has been experiencing supply issues due to dwindling domestic gas reserves.
Atlantic LNG’s first train has been idled since 2020 due to reduced gas supplies.
Shell recently took a positive final investment decision for the development of the Manatee gas field to supply the LNG export plant.
The undeveloped gas field is located in the East Coast Marine Area (ECMA) in Trinidad and Tobago.
Once online, Manatee is expected to reach peak production of about 104,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) or 604 MMscf/d, according to Shell.
