Brunei LNG Facility undergoes scheduled maintenance for one week, sources say

Brunei LNG will be performing scheduled maintenance on its liquefied gas facility over the next week. However, production won't be affected, according to a source.

In a social media post made on Tuesday, the company stated that "operational activity is currently underway from 14 October to 21 October 2025." However, it did not specify what those activities were.

During this period, large amounts of black smoke and flaring are expected, but they will not affect the public.

Sources familiar with the situation said that the maintenance was planned in advance, but declined to identify themselves as they weren't authorised to talk to the media.

Brunei LNG didn't immediately respond to an inquiry for a comment.

Brunei LNG, which is owned 50% by Brunei's government and the remainder equally divided between Japan's Mitsubishi Electric and Shell, is owned by Brunei.

The plant's capacity is 7.2 million tons per year. According to Kpler's data, Brunei exported 4,9 million metric tonnes of LNG in the past year. (Reporting and editing by Emily Chow, Thomas Derpinghaus.
