Anadarko has signed three gas Sale and Purchase Agreements (“SPAs”) with Tokyo Gas/Centrica (2.6mtpa), Shell (2mtpa) and CNOOC (1.5mtpa) for its Mozambique LNG Area 1 development. This total 6.1mtpa of the planned 12.88mtpa ahead of FID expected in mid-2019. The LNG development will challenge upcoming projects given its fortunate location in between the Asian and European markets and will compete with Australian, Middle Eastern and North American suppliers.
These SPAs are conversions of existing Heads to Terms and there could be more SPA announcements on the way. Anadarko has made clear that it expects to debt finance c.USD12 billion of the USD20 billion Phase 1 development and these SPAs will help to support that financing.
The owners of Mozambique LNG Area 1 are:
Separately, the Area 4 LNG JV between ExxonMobil and Eni is also on track for sanctioning later in 2019.
