Trinidad and Tobago could lose millions of dollars
because of a fall in production of Liquefied Natural
Gas from the Atlantic LNG plant.
LNG production at Atlantic LNG has decreased to
600 million metric cubic feet (mmcf from 800 mmcf
a day. Atlantic averages about 5.2 million metric
tonnes of LNG a year.
The
fall in production is because of a problem at
Atlantic LNG’s Train IV.
The
Guardian learnt that Train IV’s heat
exchanger needs to be replaced and the company
has been awaiting the part for the past two weeks.
Contacted
yesterday, Atlantic’s communications
officer, Billson Hainsley, said the company had
no comment on the issue.
T&T
is the largest supplier of LNG to the US. The
Government owns 11 per cent of Train IV
through the National Gas Company with the other
shareholders being bp, British Gas and Repsol.
