The Hammerfest plant in Arctic Norway, also known as Melkoeya LNG, had been offline since April 22.
The facility had initially been scheduled to return to operation on July 19, but this was later postponed twice (learn more).
Melkoeya LNG has the capacity to deliver about 6.5 Bm3y of gas, enough to supply about 6.5 MM European homes per day, and accounts for roughly 5% of all Norwegian gas exports.
The plant at Melkoeya island receives gas from the Snoehvit field in the Barents Sea, some 143 km (89 mi) offshore. Its owners are Equinor, Petoro, TotalEnergies, Vaar Energi and Harbour Energy.
