据World Oil莫桑比克12月31日消息 Area 4合资企业的参与者已从合作伙伴的附属买方实体获得液化天然气(LNG)承购承诺，这是一个关键的里程碑，使这些参与者能够迅速就Rovuma液化天然气项目一期工程在2019年做出最终投资决定。Area 4的参与者包括埃克森美孚、埃尼集团、加拿大石油天然气公司、Kogas和Galp。
这些承诺取决于完全达成的协议，这些协议将在未来几周内完成并草签，并得到莫桑比克政府的批准。
埃克森美孚天然气和电力营销公司总裁Peter Clarke表示：“Rovuma液化天然气营销团队加快了工作步伐，以实现这一重要里程碑。这一巨大成就之所以成为可能，是得益于四家合资企业的实力以及莫桑比克政府的支持。”
埃尼集团天然气和液化天然气营销及电力主管Massimo Mantovani表示：“这些承诺是Rovuma液化天然气项目向前迈出的重要一步，为确保项目融资奠定了坚实基础。这一成就突出了我们在开发莫桑比克自然资源方面的伙伴关系和承诺的力量。”
2018年7月，莫桑比克Rovuma Venture向莫桑比克政府提交了Rovuma LNG项目一期开发计划。该项目将生产、液化和销售位于莫桑比克Rovuma盆地近海的Mamba油田的天然气。埃克森美孚将代表第四区合资企业牵头天然气液化及相关设施的建设和运营，埃尼集团将牵头上游设施的建设和运营。
Rovuma液化天然气项目第一阶段的开发计划规定了两列液化天然气列车的拟议设计和建造，每列列车每年将生产760万吨液化天然气。莫桑比克Rovuma Venture目前正同莫桑比克政府就发展计划的细节进行富有成效的讨论。
