BP has agreed to offtake LNG from Eni’s planned 2.5 mtpa FLNG project in Mozambique. Interfax understands that under the deal – which is not yet binding – the UK oil major has secured the LNG on an oil-linked, free-on-board basis, at prices competitive with cheap exports that will be coming out of the United States.
With oil costing $50 per barrel, the LNG price would work out at $5.5/MMBtu, a source told Interfax. In return the UK major has also agreed to take on a lot of technical risk and will be flexible if LNG volumes from the project are lower or available later than expected.
