Eni Commissions Congo LNG Phase 2 Ahead of Schedule

Gas is now flowing through the new offshore system to the Nguya liquefaction unit, positioning the project for an early 2026 first cargo.

Overview

  • The start of Phase 2 follows the arrival of the Nguya FLNG and the introduction of gas into new offshore infrastructure.
  • Saipem confirmed first gas on the converted Scarabeo 5 floating production unit, highlighting the accelerated timeline.
  • Phase 2 comprises three production platforms, the Scarabeo 5 gas treatment and compression unit, and the Nguya FLNG for liquefaction and export.
  • The setup develops Marine XII resources at the Nené and Litchendjili fields and supports supplies to both Nguya and the Tango FLNG operating since late 2023.
  • Eni cites delivery 35 months after FLNG construction began, a capacity of 3 mtpa or 4.5 bcm per year, local execution, and emissions‑reduction technologies, with the first cargo targeted in early 2026.
