LNG

One of the world’s main liquefied natural gas projects, Mozambique LNG, is threatened with a long-term delay because of growing terrorist attacks by Islamist groups that have led to urgent travel warnings by nations like the US and the UK and with France now stating that a large-scale “humanitarian crisis” could develop.

The Royal Dutch Shell-operated Prelude floating liquefied natural production hull offshore northwest Australia has already shipped more than six cargoes and will enable the Australians in 2020 to retain their No. 1 spot in the global LNG production table ahead of Qatar with 80 million tonnes per annum of output.
