Connor Bedard - toe drag release | SaltWireLONDON - Shell considered shutting its flagship Prelude liquefied natural gas facility off Australia for a year to fix issues that have plagued its operations, but instead opted for shorter maintenance period to allow it to capture strong gas demand, three industry sources said.
The shorter maintenance programme, which started in August and is expected to last two months, will not address all the design issues, according to the sources familiar with the matter. Shell considered late last year performing year-long repairs on Prelude in order to fix a number of design problems, including to its electric system, which was the cause of a number of hiccups, the sources said.
Shell said in response that"turnarounds are a regular part of maintaining LNG facilities and are planned well in advance". The current maintenance is scheduled to tackle dozens of fixes to address reliability issues including with the electric system, pumps valves, compressors and vibration issues, according to the sources.
