US-based oil and gas company Anadarko Petroleum has signed a sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with Indonesia's state-held energy company Pertamina for the delivery of 1 Mt/year of LNG from its Mozambique LNG project over a 20-year period from the start-up of production.
This is another step forward for the Mozambique LNG project, just after it signed similar agreements with Bharat Gas Resources, China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), Tokyo Gas and Centrica earlier in February 2019. This brings Mozambique LNG's total long-term sales to more than 9.5 Mt/year, which also includes a fourth 1.2 Mt/year SPA signed with the French power utility EDF in February 2018.
Mozambique LNG (MLNG) will consist of two liquefaction trains with a total nameplate capacity of 12.9 Mt/year. The project will be located on the Afungi peninsula in the Cabo Delgado province of northern Mozambique and is expected to be commissioned in 2023. 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). The LNG project 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%).
