The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/congo-lng-begin-export-gas-central-africa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nguya FLNG unit<\/a><\/strong> unit converts offshore resources into exportable volumes with tight lead times and a competitive cost structure. <\/p>\n\n<p>With the entry into operation of Phase 2, Congo LNG reaches a total liquefaction capacity of 3 million tons per year. This production is supported by the development of the <strong>Nen\u00e9<\/strong> and <strong>Litchendjili<\/strong> <strong>fields<\/strong>, located in the Marine XII marine license. <\/p>\n\n<p>Likewise, the integration of producing fields and floating technology allows for greater operational flexibility compared to other projects. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/the-second-edition-of-the-expo-oil-and-gas-mexico-onshore-offshore-conference-will-be-this-month\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23907\">onsh<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/the-second-edition-of-the-expo-oil-and-gas-mexico-onshore-offshore-conference-will-be-this-month\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"23907\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ore<\/a><\/strong>. This scheme reduces lead times, optimizes investments and improves the response to global LNG market conditions. <\/p>\n\n<p>The company mentions that Phase 2 was completed in a timeframe below the industry average. The construction and commissioning of <strong>Nguya FLNG<\/strong> was completed in just 35 months, a time that reinforces Eni&#8217;s position as an operator specialized in rapid liquefied gas developments. <\/p>\n\n<p>This development increases the availability of gas for international markets and is in line with the group&#8217;s strategy to expand its LNG portfolio to 20 million tons per year by the end of the decade, with projects distributed in different geographies.<\/p>\n\n<p>The energy company has been present in the Republic of Congo since the late 1960s and is today the country&#8217;s main <strong>producer of associated and non-associated gas<\/strong>. It is also part of that production that goes to supply the national power plant, which covers about 70 % of the local power generation. <\/p>\n\n<p>At the same time, the oil company participates in initiatives related to energy transition, agro-industrial development and improving access to basic services. These actions seek to integrate gas activity with long-term economic and social benefits for the communities. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eni.com\/en-IT\/media\/press-release\/2026\/02\/eni-cdp-venture-capital-invest-over-half-a-million-euros-startup-exe-engineering.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eni<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company has maintained a presence in the Republic of Congo since the late 1960s and is today the leading producer of associated gas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":335456,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13036],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-335483","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-oil-and-gas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/335483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=335483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/335483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=335483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=335483"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=335483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
