Mozambique: Anadarko gas sales progress

Anadarko Petroleum has signed provisional liquefied natural gas (LNG) sales deals covering about two-thirds of the output of its first planned LNG train. In a statement accompanying its 2013 results, the US company said: “To date, the partners have reached multiple non-binding Heads of Agreement for long-term LNG sales to buyers in premium Asian markets covering approximately two-thirds of the first 5m t/yr train.” A number of Asian companies have stakes in the Anadarko and Eni-led consortia exploring offshore northern Mozambique, including Thailand’s PTTEP, India’s ONGC Videsh Ltd, Oil India and Bharat Petroleum, Japan’s Mitsui, South Korea’s Kogas and China National Petroleum Corporation.
