DOHA: Qatargas has shut down one of its liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plants, known as Train 4, for planned maintenance and expects output to resume around March 25, Reuters quoted two sources with knowledge of the matter as saying.
The 7.8-million-tonne-per-year train, shut at the end of last month, supplies liquefied natural gas to Britain, Europe and Asia, raising the possibility of reduced deliveries from the world’s biggest liquefied natural gas exporter.
ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum inaugurated the world’s largest LNG project, known as Qatargas II, which includes Train 4 and also Train 5, in April 2009.
