Statoil’s LNG plant at Hammerfest is back online after being shut down for scheduled maintenance in May.
“ The plant has been up and producing at normal levels for some time ,” Reuters cited Statoil’s spokesman Ola Anders Skauby as saying.
The Hammerfest LNG terminal has a design capacity of 4.2 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
Commissioned in 2007, it processes gas transported through 143-km pipeline from the subsea facilities on the Snøhvit and Albatross fields, which comprise the first offshore developments in the Barents Sea.
