Egypt Exports 150,000 Cubic Meters of LNG to Turkey | Egypt Oil & Gas

Egypt has exported 150,000 cubic meters of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from Idku liquefication plant to Turkey, on board the LNG ENDURANCE tanker operated by France’s TotalEnergies, according to a statement by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR).

The shipment follows another carrying of 155,000 cubic meters of LNG that left the Idku plant for Italy last week. That gas was transported onboard the New NATURE tanker, which is operated by Shell International.

The Idku liquefaction plant, located on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast near Alexandria, has a combined annual capacity of 7.2 million tons (m/t) of LNG. The facility is operated by Egyptian LNG (ELNG), a Joint Venture (JV) with both Egyptian and international shareholders, including Shell, PETRONAS, and TotalEnergies.
