The Philippines’ Malampaya deepwater gas project restored supply on July 15 after completing a monthlong maintenance and upgrade program. The work lays the groundwork for the Phase 4 expansion, which will add the Malampaya East-1 and Camago-3 production wells and targets first gas in the fourth quarter of 2026. The project supplies fuel for about 20% of Luzon’s power generation and is the country’s core domestic gas source. During the shutdown, Malampaya provided emergency supply to help stabilize the grid after Typhoon “Inday” disrupted nearby imported LNG terminals.
