Hygo Energy Transition, the joint venture company formed by shipping and projects operator Golar LNG and US fund Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners for their Golar Power interests, has appointed a new Chief Executive to replace the previous incumbent who decided to step down after being caught up in a Brazilian corruption investigation.
Petróleo Brasileiro, the Brazilian oil and gas company known as Petrobras, said it would review the participation of the Golar Power joint venture company in a tender process to lease the liquefied natural gas import terminal at Salvador in the northeast state of Bahia.
Shares in Golar LNG, the carrier fleet operator and project developer, plunged 32 percent on the Nasdaq global exchange after one of its associates was caught up in a Brazilian corruption investigation involving another company.
