LNG

The Mexican liquefied natural gas import terminal at Manzanillo on the Pacific Coast has been attracting its most cargoes ever with shipments arriving recently from the US Sabine Pass plant as well as from Peru and Trinidad.

Malaysian energy company Petronas said the world’s first floating liquefied natural gas production plant has produced its first LNG from feed-gas at the Kanowit field located 180 kilometres offshore Sarawak and the first commercial cargo will be lifted in early 2017.

JGC Corp., the Japanese engineering company specializing in LNG projects, said it received an order for the construction management and completion support services for the Prelude floating production project of Royal Dutch Shell and Inpex Corp. of Japan.

National Grid, the UK transmission network operator and liquefied natural gas terminal owner, has signed an agreement to sell 61 percent of its British pipelines business for around $10.6 billion to a consortium led by the infrastructure unit of Australian bank Macquarie and other investors, including the state of Qatar.
