LNG

France is considering plans to deploy a floating storage and regasification unit for liquefied natural gas imports at the Port of Le Havre on the northwest coast of Normandy, where there had previously been an onshore facility that handled deliveries of LNG from Algeria for Gaz de France.

Turkey President Tayyip Erdogan has claimed a Black Sea natural gas discovery by state-owned Turkish Petroleum (TPAO) of an additional 135 billion cubic metres of gas at the offshore Amasra-1 field, opening the way for production to offset some of the nation’s LNG and pipeline natural gas import needs.
