The petroleum company Anadarko Petroleum has signed a long-term LNG sales and purchase agreement with the French power utility EDF through its Mozambique LNG project (MLNG) and its subsidiary Mozambique LNG1 Company. According to the off-take deal, MLNG will supply 1.2 Mt/year of LNG to EDF over a 15-year period.
MLNG consists of two initial LNG trains with a total nameplate capacity of 12.88 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). The project was approved by the government at the end of 2016 and the first production is expected in 2020.
