Angola LNG is a liquid natural gas (LNG) facility in Soyo, Angola.
The Angola LNG plant is a single train facility with production capacity of 5.2 million tonnes per year. The plant uses ConocoPhillips' proprietary natural gas liquefaction technology (Optimized CascadeSM Process). [1] In addition to LNG, it also produces propane, butane and condensate.
The plant is supplied from offshore gas fields on blocks 14, 15, 17 and 18, and from non-associated gas fields Quiluma, Atum, Polvo and Enguia. [2]
The LNG project is presented as environmentally friendly by its designers, because most of its feedstock will consist of associated gas produced in association with crude oil in offshore field, that is currently flared. However, while LNG production is more environmentally friendly than flaring, liquefaction is also a highly energy-intensive process and a significant percentage of the gas must be burned to generate the energy to cool the rest. [3]
The plant was constructed by Bechtel. [1] The LNG plant cost US$9 billion, and it was commissioned in 2013. [4] The first LNG was shipped on 16 June 2013. [5]
The project was proposed to Sonangol by Texaco in June, 1997. The project, jointly managed by woAh and Texaco, continued evaluation processes and brought in outside partners (originally ExxonMobil, Elf Aquitaine, and BP.) Subsequently Texaco merged with Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil was replaced in the project by Eni, and Elf Aquitaine merged with Total.
Angola LNG was formed as a joint project in 2008 involving Cabinda Gulf Oil Company, a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (36.4%), Sonangol (22.8%), BP (13.6%), Eni (13.6%) and Total (13.6%). [6] Sonangol and Chevron serve as co-project leaders. The shareholders will provide associated gas from their respective offshore oil fields. Director of Angola LNG is Eric Dunning. [7]
Angola LNG faced an extended plant shutdown of more than three years from December 2015 to January 2019 to sort out a number of project issues that caused an incident on 10 April 2015. [8] [9]
Big Oil is a name used to describe the world's six or seven largest publicly traded and investor-owned oil and gas companies, also known as supermajors. The term, particularly in the United States, emphasizes their economic power and influence on politics. Big Oil is often associated with the fossil fuels lobby and also used to refer to the industry as a whole in a pejorative or derogatory manner.

The Gorgon gas project is a multi-decade natural gas project in Western Australia, involving the development of the Greater Gorgon gas fields, subsea gas-gathering infrastructure, and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island. The project also includes a domestic gas component. Construction was completed in 2017.

A floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility, is a floating production storage and offloading unit that conducts liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations for developing offshore natural gas resources. Floating above an offshore natural gas field, the FLNG facility produces, liquefied stores and transfers LNG at sea before carriers ship it directly to markets.
