NLNG has not declared force majeure on its export

Nigeria Agip Oil Company (NAOC), the Nigerian subsidiary of ENI, on December 16, 2015 declared a Force Majeure (FM) on gas supply to Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) from its Obiafu-Obrikom (OBOB) gas plant as a result of a fire incident that disrupted crude oil /condensate evacuation; thereby impacting its ability to meet its contractual gas supply commitment‎ to NLNG.

According to a statement by Charles Okon, Ag. General Manager, External Relations, NLNG, whilst ENI’s FM does impact NLNG’s production in the very short term, NLNG as a reliable supplier is working with NAOC and NLNG’s several other gas suppliers and customers to ensure that it meets its delivery obligations to its buyers.

Therefore, contrary to reports in some online media, NLNG has not declared any force majeure on its exports.
