THE Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, has announced plans to introduce an additional train to its six existing trains at its operational base on Bonny Island, Rivers State. The new train, added to the existing six and seventh trains that had been on the drawing board for over 10 years, brings the total number of trains at the NLNG plant to 8.
Announcing this in Lagos, the company said the new Train 8 would be integrated to the Train 7 project and would be developed together with it. Bab Omotowa, managing director, NLNG, who disclosed this when he officially presented the 2016 Facts and Figures of the company to newsmen, said: “Are we doing Train 7 and 8 together? The answer is true. Previously we were looking at Train 7 as a mega project, which is similar to what the Qataris has built which is a 8.7 million tonnes per annum Train.
Commenting on when the Final Investment Decision, FID, on Trains 7 and 8, would be concluded, Omotowa said it will be done during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. The NLNG boss noted that embarking on Train 7 and 8 projects now would be much cheaper because of low oil price, adding that $300 million has already been spent in site preparation for the project.
