Shell’s Idku plant increases LNG exports to 520 mcf/d

Royal Dutch Shell’s Idku liquefaction plant has increased exports of natural gas to 520 mcf/d, up from 300 mcf/d previously, an Oil Ministry official tells Reuters. The gas is being exported via Malaysia’s Petronas, Royal Dutch Shell and two state companies, the newswire noted. We reported last month that exports had gone up to 500 mcf/d as winter curbed local consumption. Shell and the Oil Ministry had agreed in 2016 to gradually ramp up production at the Idku LNG plant.
