The US-based oil and gas company Anadarko Petroleum will make a final investment decision (FID) on the Mozambique LNG export project in the first half of 2019.
Mozambique LNG (MLNG) consists of two liquefaction trains with a total nameplate capacity of 12 Mt/year and will be located on the Afungi peninsula in the Cabo Delgado province of northern Mozambique. It is being developed by Anadarko (26.5%) in partnership with Mitsui E&P Mozambique (20%), ONGC-OIL (16%), Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH, 15%), Bharat PetroResources (10%), PTTEP (8.5%) and Oil India (4%). It will exploit gas reserves from the Offshore Area 1 in the Rovuma basin (estimated to hold more than 2 100 bcm or 12 Gboe).
Anadarko Petroleum signed a first long-term LNG sales and purchase agreement with the French power utility EDF in February 2018 to supply 1.2 Mt/year of LNG to EDF over a 15-year period. In June 2018, it signed a non-binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) with the British energy group Centrica and the Japanese gas utility Tokyo Gas to supply 2.6 Mt/year of LNG from the start-up of production.
