Angola LNG Plant Shuts Down for 32 Days, Cutting Output by 80% During Scheduled Maintenance
CVX sits 21% above its 52-week low of $146.49.
Summary
The Angola LNG plant, in which Chevron is a shareholder, has commenced a planned 32-day maintenance shutdown. This will reduce the plant's monthly output and loading by approximately 80% and impact the Sanha Complex and Sanha FPSO by an estimated 49,000 barrels of oil per day. While scheduled, this temporary production halt contributes to the tightening global energy supply narrative, a concern recently highlighted by Chevron's CEO, and will reduce Chevron's share of output from this facility for over a month. The plant is considering boosting output after years of running below capacity, so future updates on its operational efficiency post-maintenance will be relevant.
