Angola LNG Limited operates the Angola LNG project, a large-scale liquefied natural gas plant and marine terminal in Soyo, Zaire Province, Angola. The venture is jointly owned by Sonangol, Chevron, and other international partners. Its single-train facility has a nameplate capacity of about 5.2 million tonnes per annum, processing primarily associated gas gathered from Angola’s offshore oil fields.
The plant produces LNG for export and also yields LPG and condensate, while supplying pipeline gas to the domestic market. By capturing and monetizing associated gas that would otherwise be flared, Angola LNG supports reduced emissions from oil production and provides energy feedstock for power generation and industry in Angola. Commercial operations began in 2013, and cargoes are marketed into the global LNG trade.
Quiluma field begins production — Angola's first non-associated gas development. Will supply Angola LNG at ~330 MMcf/d (~2 Mtpa) plateau.
Quiluma field starts gas delivery at 150 MMSCF/day, aiming for 330 MMSCF/day in 2026. Gas processed at Soyo plant for Angola LNG export and domestic use.
The Soyo plant processes 400 MMscfd of gas, supporting Angola's energy diversification and global market position. Operations began in November 2025, six months ahead of schedule.
William Lacobie succeeds Kevin Lyon as General Director on June 10, 2025. Lyon moves to Chevron HQ. Lacobie brings 31 years of experience, focusing on safe operations and local partnerships.
New unit raises gasoline output fourfold to 450,000 t/yr; hydrogen now feeds a rehabilitated combined cycle enabling power from recycled gas and lower emissions; MoU with Sonangol agreed.
