In a press statement, Noble Energy said: “The Alen Gas Monetization Project is a key step forward for the country’s envisioned Equatorial Guinea Gas Mega Hub, which seeks to utilise existing infrastructure and support a thriving world-class gas industry within Equatorial Guinea.”

Initially, the Alen field began operation in 2013 after being developed as a condensate production and natural gas recycling project with an investment of $1.37bn.

Natural gas sales resulting from the Alen gas monetisation project are expected to be 200-300MMcfe/d.
