According to Reuters, the Angola LNG project has started recommissioning. A series of technical faults, and an eventual rupture on the flare line, forced the plant into shutting down in April 2014.

The project is owned by Chevron, which holds a 36.4% stake, Sonangol (an Angolan state oil firm), which holds a 22.8% stake, as well as Total, ENI, and BP.

Reuters reports that traders have said that they expect LNG exports from the Angola LNG project to resume by April 2016.
