Operations at the Revithoussa LNG regasification and import terminal in Greece have resumed after a planned shutdown to upgrade the plant with a new high-pressure BOG compressor. According to Greece’s National Gas System Operator (DESFA), the upgrade will eliminate the need for wasteful gas flaring during normal operations.

July 17 (LNGJ) - The “LNG Endurance” with 170,500 cubic metres capacity was scheduled to deliver a cargo on July 19 to the Greek import terminal at Revithoussa as European natural gas prices were steady at around $10.17 per million British thermal units. The vessel had also called at the French Channel terminal at Dunkirk and departed on July 10, according to shipping data.

Cheniere Energy said strong global liquefied natural gas demand fundamentals call for supply growth and the Houston-based company said it would be investing along the value chain to boost capacity, feed-gas supplies and LNG marketing opportunities.

European liquefied natural gas terminal stakeholders and network operators in Spain, Italy and Belgium have formally acquired majority control of the Greek gas grid operator sold in a tender by the government privatization agency.

European LNG import terminal stakeholders in Spain and northwest Europe are part of two competing consortia who have placed final bids for a major stake being sold by the Greek government in natural gas grid operator DESFA.
