Repsol has been a partner of the Atlantic LNG Liquefaction Plant (Trinidad & Tobago) since 1995, through the participation of 20 to 25% of the volume in its 4 trains.
Atlantic LNG Plant was the first LNG liquefaction plant in the Atlantic basin, and enjoys a privileged position for providing service to the gas consumption areas located in the Eastern coast of the USA and Western Europe.
Since the beginning of its operation, the Liquefaction Plant has undergone a continuous increase in production with the commissioning of new trains. The construction of the first train culminated with the loading of its first ship on the 30th of April, 1999. The second train was put into service in August of 2002 and the third, in April of 2003. The forth train started production on 2006; it was the biggest operational train at that time.
The four trains follow the Optimized Cascade Process, licensed by Conoco-Phillips. This process uses three cooling circuits in a cascade (propane, ethylene, and methane) to liquefy natural gas at -161ºC.
The Plant has two jetties for berthing and loading LNG carriers.
