17 LNG cargoes dispatched
Italian energy firm Eni said the Damietta liquefaction plant in Egypt has dispatched a total of 17 LNG cargoes in the first half of this year. The 5 mtpa facility located on the Mediterranean coast, about 60 km northwest of Port Said, started exporting LNG again in February this year following a deal between Egypt’s EGPC and EGAS, Eni, and Naturgy.
Restarted in February
It stopped operations in 2012 due to declining domestic production, but new finds such as Eni’s giant Zohr field in the East Mediterranean allowed the partners to restart the plant and ship the first cargo in February. The LNG plant had loaded a total of 17 cargoes in the first half of this year.
