(Piero Stewart, Energy Analytics Institute, 25.Dec.2024) — Train 1 of the 4-train Atlantic LNG (ALNG) complex in Trinidad and Tobago has officially been offline now for 46 consecutive months, according to data in the most recent ‘Consolidated Monthly Bulletins’ published by the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries (MEEI).
The last month the train was functioning was in Nov. 2020, according to the MEEI bulletin, which includes data from Jan. 2024-Sep. 2024. Despite a historic partnership restructuring of ALNG, the facility in particular and Trinidad in general still suffers from a natural gas scarcity. Feedgas for ALNG primarily comes from gas production across Trinidad. However, this gas production reached 2.497 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) in Sep. 2024, down 44.7% compared to a peak of 4.515 Bcf/d in Feb. 2010, according to MEEI data.
