Yemen LNG Restarts Balhaf Terminal

Yemen LNG said in a statment that its pipeline was repaired and that the Balhaf LNG plant has been running since the last days of August.

The company said recently that the 38 inch gas pipeline that links the block 18 to the Balhaf LNG terminal on the Gulf of Aden was blown up on August 21.

The 320km pipeline transports around 1.14 billion cubic feet/day from Block 18 in Marib province in northern Yemen to the Total-operated export terminal at Balhaf.

The Yemen LNG project has three long-term contracts to supply LNG to GDF Suez, Kogas and Total Gas & Power for a total of 6.7 Mtpa.
