Idku gas exports fall 25% in August on increased local demand

Natural gas exports from Shell’s Idku terminal have fallen 25% in August compared to July due to an increase in local consumption, an EGAS source told the local press. The facility has exported 450 mcf/d so far this month, down from 600 mcf/day in July. This was driven by an increase in domestic consumption, which has risen to 6.35 bcf/d due to the high temperatures.
