	Algeria blast to hit LNG exports, importers calm \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		The blast ripped through the Skikda LNG plant, one of two in Algeria, late on Monday killing at least 23 people and shutting down all activity at the oil and gas refining complex.
		Skikda accounts for about a quarter of the LNG from Algeria, the world's second largest LNG exporter after Indonesia and one of Europe's main gas suppliers.
		The port at Skikda is designed to load small LNG tankers and is used for short-distance exports to southern Europe rather than for shipments across the Atlantic, Andrew Flower, an independent gas analyst and former LNG director at BP, told Reuters.

		The Skikda disaster is Algeria’s worst industrial accident since independence, the worst safety incident suffered by the LNG industry for more than 30 years, and the worst ever to affect a liquefaction plant.
		The Skikda incident is by a long way the worst accident to have occurred at a liquefaction plant.
		The Skikda explosion is believed to have been triggered by an explosion of a boiler in Train 40 but it is too early to be able to determine the exact cause and thus the precise implications, if any, for the safety of other LNG plants.

	UK P&I Club - Major berthing delays - Skikda new port - Algeria
		We have been advised of major berthing delays in Algeria's new port of Skikda caused by extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain and snow.
		The port, which mainly operates facilities for shipments of liquefied gas, aromatics, crude and oil products, has been shut intermittently since 17th January 2003 and there seems little chance of it opening again in the next few days as the port is unsheltered and therefore susceptible to extreme weather conditions.
		Skikda's old port, which is more sheltered, is less affected by delays.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Report sheds new light on LNG blast in Algeria
		A display titled "The Incident at the Skikda Plant: Description and Preliminary Conclusions" indicates, instead, that a large amount of liquid gas escaped from a pipe and formed a cloud of highly flammable and explosive vapour that hovered over the facility.
		LNG and LPG were present in some quantities at the Skikda plant, the report said, though the damage to the facility was so extensive, it may be impossible to know exactly what kind of gas formed the vapour cloud.
		They agreed that in light of the Skikda incident, statements made by the LNG industry and federal officials regarding the explosive potential of LNG vapour clouds may need to be re-examined.
