The Egyptian Idku plant is preparing to export its first liquified natural gas (LNG) shipment after its halt since July.

The Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) estimated the quantities of natural gas exported through Idku gas liquefaction plant at 750 million cubic feet per day (mmcf/d) compared to 500 mmcf/d in June.

EGAS decreased the natural gas amounts exported via Idku liquefaction plant to 500 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d) instead of the 800 mmscf/d exported in March.

The company wants to buy parts of either Idku or Damietta liquefaction facilities as a part of its deal with Egypt to liquefy gas and export it to global markets.

Egypt plans to increase Idku liquefaction plant's gas exports to reach 1.13 bcf/d in June 2019, compared to the current 800 mmscf/d of gas exports.

Egypt’s LNG exports from the Idku liquefaction plant grew 44% in February 2019 compared to a month earlier, reaching 391.3 mcm of LNG.

The MoP increased amounts of exported gas through Shell’s Idku liquefaction plant to 800 mmscf/d, compared to the 500 mmscf/d at the beginning of 2019.

British gas company Dragon LNG will receive a liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment from Egypt at the end of October.

Shell has increased the amount of natural gas exported from its Idku liquefaction plant to 250 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d), up from 150 mmscf/d in the previous fiscal year.

The UK will receive a liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipment from Egypt's Shell-operated Idku liquefaction plant.
