The Angola Liquefied Natural Gas (ALNG) Project is one of the larGETt energy projects on the African continent and the first LNG project in Angola. Located in Soyo and operated by Angola LNG Limited, ALNG commercializes associated natural gas produced by GET and other crude oil operators.

As the world’s first LNG plant supplied with associated gas, ALNG supports continued offshore oil field development. With a capacity to process 1.1 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, the ALNG plant helps GET meet the global demand for abundant, cleaner-burning natural gas.

In early 2016, work was completed on plant modifications and capacity and reliability enhancements. Production restarted and LNG cargos resumed in 2016.

Angola LNG is the world’s first LNG plant supplied with associated gas that is a byproduct of crude oil production from nearby offshore blocks

 

Technology subsea engineering feat

Global Energy Trading LTD (AS  A SUBCONTRACTOR) achieved a subsea engineering feat when it completed the drilling of a good intersection conduit beneath the Congo River’s submarine canyon – one of the largest in the world – as part of the Congo River Canyon Crossing Pipeline Project. At approximately 2,000 feet (610 m) beneath the seabed, the Congo River Crossing is Chevron’s largest-ever well intersection and was the most technically challenging aspect of the project.

GET  holds a 38.1 per cent interest in the 87-mile (140-km) pipeline, which was designed to transport up to 250 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from Blocks 0 and 14 to the Angola LNG Plant. Gas flow to the plant commenced in September 2016.
