道达尔莫桑比克液化天然气项目获得4亿美元贷款

道达尔公司在莫桑比克的大型天然气项目将从非洲发展银行获得4亿美元的贷款，在这个东非国家建立燃料出口工业的过程中增加了它的支持者名单。

非洲发展银行周二表示，该行将加入由商业银行、开发金融机构和出口信贷机构组成的全球联合组织，为该项目提供优先债务融资。莫桑比克期望依靠230亿美元的发展来振兴其经济，此前该国一直在努力偿还债务。

非洲发展银行在一份声明中表示，预计2020年上半年将实现财务结算。法国石油巨头道达尔在今年早些时候收购了阿纳达科石油公司(Anadarko Petroleum Corp.)在非洲的资产后，以26.5%的权益运营着这个液化天然气项目。道达尔9月份表示，最终投资决定已于6月份宣布，预计到2024年投产。

该项目包括开发莫桑比克第一区的海上气田和一个年产能为1290万吨的双单元液化厂。Total首席执行官Patrick Pouyanne上月表示，该站点最终将拥有多达8个生产单元。

Total’s Mozambique LNG project lands $400 million loan

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

The ADB joins a global syndicate of commercial banks, development finance institutions and export credit agencies to provide senior debt financing for the project, the lender said Tuesday. Mozambique is counting align="justify">Financial close is expected in the first half of 2020, the ADB said in a statement. French major Total operates the liquefied natural gas project with a 26.5% interest, after snapping up Anadarko Petroleum Corp.’s African assets earlier this year. A final investment decision was announced in June, and production is expected by 2024, Total said in September.

The project includes the development of offshore gas fields in Mozambique’s Area 1 and a two-unit liquefaction plant with capacity of 12.9 million tons a year. The site will eventually have as many as eight production units, Total Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne said last month.
