NLNG Declares Force Majeure

The Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG) has 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.
A statement signed by the General Manager, External Relations and Sustainable Development, Andy Odeh, yesterday, in Port Harcourt, said that the company was compelled by emerging circumstances to take the decision.
The statement read, “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.
“NLNG is currently reviewing the situation with gas suppliers to ascertain the extent of the disruption to its operations but would, as a reasonable and prudent operator endeavour to mitigate the impact of the force majeure to the extent reasonably possible.”
