Background

The Angola LNG gas pipeline system carries natural gas to Angola LNG Terminal from several gas fields: Blocks 0/14 (Chevron), Block 15 (ExxonMobil), Block 17 (TotalEnergies), Block 18 (BP), Block 31 (BP) and 32 (TotalEnergies) The system is owned by Sonangol E.P. and operated by Sociedade de Operações e Manutenção de Gasodutos. Construction by Acergy and Spiecapag began in 2009, and was completed in 2015. Angola LNG has plans to expand the pipeline system further to connect Blocks 1 and 2 to the pipeline network.
