It was just before Easter that StatoilHydro had to shut down the “Snøhvit” LNG-plant at Melkøya in Northern Norway again. StatoilHydros Head of Information at the “Snøhvit-project”, Sverre Kojedal, says to Norwegian newspaper Finnmark Dagblad that the problems are similar to the ones they had in November last year, but it is not in the same cooling unit.
Because of the experience they gained in November, Kojedal thinks they will locate the problem quite soon. But he does not know exactly when. The November-stop lasted for two months.
