Golar LNG signs agreement for 20-year FLNG deployment in Argentina
05 7월 2024 - 8:08PM
Golar LNG Ltd. (“Golar”) has
entered into definitive agreements with Pan American
Energy (“PAE”) for a 20-year deployment of a
Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (“FLNG”) vessel in Argentina. The
FLNG project will monetize Argentine gas, tapping into the vast
resources from the Vaca Muerta shale formation in the Neuquina
Basin, the world's second-largest shale gas resources. The project
is expected to start LNG exports within 2027, establishing
Argentina as an LNG exporter.
This strategic venture is built on a robust
commercial foundation, featuring: (i) a Gas Sales Agreement from
PAE for the supply of gas; and (ii) an FLNG charter agreement with
Golar which includes a base tariff and commodity exposure to LNG
sales prices.
The project aims to utilize Golar’s FLNG Hilli,
with a nameplate capacity of 2.45 million tons per annum (“mtpa”),
providing an equivalent net tariff of US$2.6/mmBtu (based on 90%
capacity utilization) with an additional commodity-linked pricing
element. Golar has flexibility to consider a swap alternative for
another suitable Golar FLNG unit.
As part of the agreements, Golar will hold a 10%
stake in Southern Energy S.A., a dedicated joint venture with PAE,
responsible for the purchase of domestic natural gas, operations,
and sale and marketing of LNG volumes from Argentina.
This initiative is envisaged to be the first
phase of a potential multi-vessel project and it is anticipated
that other large natural gas producers in Argentina will join.
Golar’s CEO, Mr. Karl Fredrik Staubo said “We
are excited to enter a partnership with Pan American Energy, one of
the leading energy companies in Latin America. The project will
provide an international outlet for Argentina’s vast and attractive
natural gas reserves, creating value to Argentina and its gas
stakeholders. The project expands Golar’s global footprint, with
further growth potential.”
The agreements are subject to sign-off of
customary conditions.
