Angola LNG Plant, Chevron’s Sanha Complex & FPSO, All Shut Down until August 9, 2026

The Angola LNG Limited (ALNG) plant, located in the municipality of Soyo, Zaire province, in conjunction with the maintenance campaigns of the Sanha Complex and the Sanha FPSO, in Area B of the Cabinda offshore, will carry out a Scheduled General Shutdown, within the scope of its periodic extended maintenance plan (TAR).

The shutdown is expected to last 32 days, starting Wednesday, July 8, 2026.

“The intervention is part of regular maintenance and facility integrity practices, aiming to ensure the safe continuity of ALNG’s operations, preserving equipment reliability and raising the performance and efficiency levels of the LNG plant”, the National Agency for Petroleum, Gas and Biofuels (ANPG) says in a release.

“During this period, the ALNG plant will experience a complete suspension of liquefied natural gas and related derivative production, which will reduce monthly production and loading by approximately 80%. Resumption will occur in a phased and safe manner after the completion of the works.

“The impact on oil production resulting from the shutdown of the Sanha Complex and Sanha FPSO is estimated at 48,996Barrels of Oil Per Day (BOPD).

“Regarding ALNG’s contractual commitments in the international market, ALNG has been working to find appropriate solutions to ensure the timely fulfillment of its contractual obligations and, consequently, the collection of revenue for the Angolan State”, the regulator explains.

“The National Concessionaire will continue to work to ensure that activities are carried out with technical rigour and in strict compliance with safety, health, environmental and operational integrity standards”.
