Cameroon has become one of the four African countries supplying gas to Turkey. This was revealed by the Oxford Institute of Energies Studies (OIES) report on gas consumption in Turkey. Official sources say it is thanks to Hilli Episeyo, the floating natural gas liquefaction plant commissioned off the coast of Kribi realized in 2018.
In recent information published by Cameroon’s National Hydrocarbons Company (SNH), it estimates the volume of liquefied natural gas exported by Cameroon by end of May 2020, at 6,262,113 million BTU or 157,924.36 tons.
According to the public company before end of May the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sold by Cameroon to the Singaporean subsidiary of Russian group (Gazprom) was delivered to India, South Korea, Kuwait, and Turkey.
Cameroon became the fourth West African LNG exporter in May 2018. It exported 0.7 Bcm of gas equivalent in the first five months of 2020, up from 0.6 Bcm in the same period last year, official reports show.
