Jordan FLNG Import Terminal Back to Full Capacity

Jordan's National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) said its floating liquefied natural import terminal was back working at full capacity after adverse weather disrupted operations earlier this month.
 
NEPCO declared force majeure on the terminal on Dec. 5 due to strong winds requiring the floating, storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to be moved away from the jetty, a spokeswoman for the company said.
 
At the time, the firm also informed state-run Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co (EGAS) that it could not meet its agreement to deliver volumes transported from its FSRU through the pipeline to Egypt.
 
Gas supplies to both Jordan and Egypt were disrupted for a few days before the plant initially resumed operation at half capacity, and then finally full capacity, the spokesperson said.
