Malampaya offshore gas field exceeds export capacity

The Malampaya offshore field was able to reliably deliver more than its export capacity as the Luzon grid was placed on red and yellow alerts by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines .

“When needed by the grid, Malampaya was able to reliably deliver even more than export capacity. Malampaya was able to deliver on demand because all producing wells were available and there was sufficient reserve in the gas export pipeline,” said Donnabel Kuizon Cruz, managing director and general manager of Prime Energy.

Under a red alert status, power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the transmission grid’s regulating requirement. A yellow alert status meanwhile is issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the grid’s contingency requirement.Malampaya supplies indigenous fuel to four gas-fired power plants in Batangas—Santa Rita, San Lorenzo, San Gabriel and Avion.
