LNG

Shell’s 3.6mtpa Prelude facility in Australia looks set to restart soon according to ICIS with the LNG vessel Symphonic Breeze now near Japan signalling an arrival there on 6 December.

  • The prelude facility was shut for planned maintenance in August for an expected 2 months which was later extended.
  • Market sources have indicated to ICIS they expected it to begin operating again in December – aligning with Symphonic Breeze signalling the facility.
  • “Qatar has had some work recently on Qatargas II train 5, a 7.8mtpa facility. That was expected to end around 20 November after a month of work. With Egypt also making a return to the market with the recent loading of the Adam LNG from Idku, it looks like production could be picking up a little in time for winter.” ICIS analysts said.
