Mozambique: FID for Area 1 LNG scheme

Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and its partners announced a final investment decision (FID) on 18 June for the Area 1 Mozambique LNG project. The project will be Mozambique’s first onshore liquefied natural gas development, initially consisting of two LNG trains with total nameplate capacity of 12.88m t/yr processing gas from the Golfinho/Atum fields in Offshore Area 1. The project has secured 11.1m t/yr of long-term LNG sales to clients in Asia and Europe, representing 86% of the plant’s nameplate capacity, and will also have a significant domestic gas component.
