据海外媒体11月1日新加坡报道,意大利埃尼公司日前在新加坡表示,该公司时下仍在为其在莫桑比克的Coral LNG项目寻求获得债务融资,因此,该公司将在今年年底前对这个开发项目作出最后的投资决定。
全球LNG价格随着油价下挫也在不断下跌,由于中国需求放缓导致新一波LNG供应打击市场,一些业内人士预计LNG价格到2020年底时将跌至新的低点。
埃尼公司莫桑比克分公司副总裁Ferruccio Taverna在新加坡举行的一次行业会议上说,埃尼公司时下正在谈判通过债务为Coral项目获得60%至70%的融资。
埃尼公司周四曾表示,该公司与英国石油公司就从这个项目购买LNG一事的谈判已进入最后阶段。这个项目将从Coral气田生产天然气并在海上把天然气液化以后用运输船运往世界市场。
Taverna说,这个开发项目计划在2019年前开始年产250万吨LNG。

Eni to Decide on Mozambique LNG Project Investment by Year-End
World Oil & Gas News
Sunday, November 01, 2015
SINGAPORE- Italy's ENI said on Friday that it was still looking to secure debt financing for its Coral LNG project in Mozambique and that it would make a final investment decision on the development by year-end.
Global liquefied natural gas prices have plummeted in line with oil, with some expecting them to test new lows towards the end of the decade as a wave of supply hits the market just as demand in China slows.
Eni is in discussions to secure 60-70 percent of the financing for the Coral project via debt, Ferruccio Taverna, vice president for ENI in Mozambique, said at an industry conference in Singapore.
The company on Thursday said it was in final stages of talks with oil major BP Plc for the offtake of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the project, which will draw gas from the Coral field and liquefy offshore for shipping to world markets.
Taverna said the development was planned to begin producing 2.5 million tonnes per year by 2019.
