Angola Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is exploring options for future expansion, including adding a three-million-metric ton mini train, as gas supplies to the plant are expected to increase over the next year.
The plant is set to reach full capacity by 2025, supported by additional supplies from Chevron and the New Gas Consortium.
As Africa’s second-largest crude oil producer, Angola is shifting its focus toward natural gas to meet growing demand in key markets across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
The LNG plant, which cost $12 billion to build more than 10 years ago, has been operating below its full capacity for several years due to declining gas production from the mature fields that supply it. Recently, Angola published a 25-year master plan for gas development, noting that the country has more than 40 discovered gas fields.
