Several customers including Shell and BP have filed arbitration cases against Venture Global, which said in an April regulatory filing that it expects commercial operations to begin in the first quarter of 2024. Shell Executive Vice President Steve Hill on Tuesday accused Venture Global of "deceitful actions" and said failing to meet contracts was "damaging and dangerous to the industry". On the company's future plans, Vilanova added that Galp plans to expand activity in other geographies and diversify its portfolio to properly manage industry risks.
