Trinidad's Atlantic LNG project to begin removing liquefaction plant in Q4, executive says

PORT OF SPAIN, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Trinidad and Tobago's flagship liquefied natural gas project, Atlantic LNG, will begin removing one of its liquefaction trains from operations in the last quarter this year, its director for capital projects, Michael Daniel, said on Tuesday.

The project's shareholders, including Shell SHEL.L, BP BP.L and Trinidad's National Gas Company NGCTT.UL, agreed to decommission Train 1 due to a shortage of natural gas and because it was the most inefficient of the four plants that turn natural gas into LNG for export.

The train decommissioning is not expected to disrupt the project's remaining operations, Daniel said during an energy conference in Port of Spain.
