Anadarko signs Mozambique LNG supply deal with EDF

Woodlands-based Anadarko said Mozambique LNG project partners signed an LNG sale and purchase agreement with Électricité de France (EDF) for the supply of 1.2 million tons per year of the chilled fuel. 

The deal with a 15-year term has been included in the portfolio of sales of more than 5 mtpa for which the Mozambique LNG project has agreed key terms, Mitch Ingram, Anadarko executive vice president, international & deepwater operations and project management, said.

He noted that the project partners are advancing additional offtake arrangements.

The Anadarko-operated Mozambique LNG project will be Mozambique’s first onshore LNG development, initially consisting of two LNG trains with total nameplate capacity of 12.88 MTPA to support the development of the Golfinho/Atum fields located entirely within Offshore Area 1.

Anadarko operates the Offshore Area 1 through its unit Anadarko Moçambique Área 1 that has a 26.5 percent working interest. Other partners include ENH Rovuma Área (15 percent), Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area1 (20 percent), ONGC Videsh (10 percent), Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique (10 percent), BPRL Ventures Mozambique (10 percent), and PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 (8.5 percent).
