Name of the Project
Area 1 liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility.

Location
The project proposes to develop an LNG facility on the Afungi peninsula in Cabo Delgado province, in Mozambique.

Project Owner/s
Total will be the main operator of Mozambique LNG, with a stake of 26.5%. ENH Rovuma Área Um will own 15%, Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area1 Ltd 20%, while ONGC Videsh, Beas Rovuma Energy Mozambique Limited and BPRL Ventures Mozambique will each have 10% and PTTEP Mozambique Area 1 Ltd 8.5%.

Project Description
Offshore Area 1 contains about 75-trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.

The project involves the development of Mozambique’s first onshore LNG facility, comprising two initial LNG trains, with a total nameplate capacity of 12.88-million tonnes a year to support the development of the Golfinho/Atum field, located entirely within Offshore Area 1.

The project has scope to increase production to 50-million tons.

Gas from the Anadarko-operated offshore field will be sent to an onshore processing plant, where it will be liquefied and then exported. The plant is being built in the northern Cabo Delgado province.

Potential Job Creation
Area 1 has about 5 000 workers on site, progressing works associated with the construction of a resettlement village, camp expansion, an airstrip and the Palma-Afungi Highway.

Capital Expenditure
$25-billion. The project will be funded with $11-billion of equity and $14-billion of debt.

Planned Start/End Date
A final investment decision was announced in June, and production is expected by 2024.

Latest Developments
Total’s giant Mozambique gas project will get a $400-million loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB), adding to its list of backers as the East African nation works to establish a fuel-export industry.

The AfDB joins a global syndicate of commercial banks, development finance institutions and export credit agencies to provide senior debt financing for the project. Mozambique is counting on the development to revive its economy after struggling to service its debts.

Financial close is expected in the first half of 2020, the AfDB has said. Total operates the liquefied natural gas project with a 26.5% interest, after snapping up Anadarko Petroleum Corp’s African assets earlier this year.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
TechnipFMC, through its subsidiary FMC Technologies (subsea trees, completion workover riser and installation workover control system, subsea controls system, subsea connectors and production manifolds); TechnipFMC, through its subsidiary Technip Mozambique and Oceaneering International (aftermarket services in Mozambique); Oceaneering International (subsea umbilicals and distribution hardware); Advanced Technology (pipeline subsea ball and subsea gate valves); Cameron Italy (subsea chemical injection metering valves engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) for the offshore subsea system); TechnipFMC and VanOord (EPCI of the offshore subsea system, engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the LNG facility and support facilities); and McDermott, Chiyoda and Saipem EPC contracts for the Mozambique LNG liquefaction facility and support facilities).

On Budget and on Time?
It has taken Anadarko almost a decade to get the development approved after discovering gas in Mozambique waters in 2010. The country had to draft new regulations for its nascent oil and gas industry, even as uncertain global demand for LNG slowed plans.
