Background

Anadarko Eni Mozambique LNG Terminal is a proposed onshore LNG terminal in Cabo Delgado Province, Mozambique. The project was initially two separate projects, Mozambique LNG Terminal and Mozambique Eni LNG Terminal, which were combined into one. It will be comprised of four trains each with 5 million tons per annum, with a possible expansion to ten trains each with 5 million tons per annum.

The discovery of large offshore gas reserves in East Africa prompted multiple liquefaction proposals in Mozambique. The International Gas Union reported that these Mozambique proposed projects amount to 53.4 MTPA.

Cost

Bloomberg reported in May 2017 that the Mozambique government's two rival LNG projects, Anadarko Eni Mozambique LNG Terminal and Italy based Eni Coral South FLNG Terminal agreed to a deal allowing them to develop independently, and share onshore liquefaction infrastructure. Bloomberg considers Curtis Island's three plants in Australia (Australia Pacific LNG Terminal, Gladstone LNG Terminal, Queensland Curtis LNG Terminal) as an example of having exorbitant infrastructure duplication that they could have saved $10 billion of extra cost on their combined $70 billion projects.
