The LNG exporter added that the pipeline was used to transfer fuel from a field to the Balhaf processing plant, on the other hand, the company planned to shut down the liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant this month for maintenance operations.

It also said that in 2010, the country produced 260,000 barrels a day of crude compared with an estimated 286,000 barrels in the previous year.
