US-based oil and gas company Anadarko Petroleum has signed a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corporation) for the delivery of 1.5 Mt/year of LNG from its Mozambique LNG project over a 13-year period. This is another step forward for the project and Anadarko expects other LNG SPAs in the future.
In February 2018, Anadarko signed a first long-term LNG sales and purchase agreement with the French power utility EDF 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.
Mozambique LNG (MLNG) will consist 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 (20%), OVL (ONGC Videsh Ltd, 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).
