Kosmos2018年计划投资浮式液化天然气项目

Kosmos’ CEO has said that a final investment decision (FID) on its planned floating LNG project off northwest Africa will probably be taken in 2018.Andrew Inglis told the Barclays Energy Power investors conference September 7 in New York that plans to develop the FLNG project, based on the Tortue gas field offshore Mauritania. “We see as much, probably larger, potential in the unexplored prospectivity that we are uncovering today, as we have in the discovered resource,” Inglis told investors. To date, the Tortue gas resource is put at 25 trillion ft³ gross, of which the initial FLNG project would tap into the 8 trillion ft³ found at ‘Tortue West’ — the first of five successful gas discoveries made by Kosmos in the area.A site 8 km from shore on the Mauritania-Senegal offshore median line was agreed in June by the two governments for the FLNG project. Inglis said both are on target to reach an intergovernmental agreement for the project by end-2016.
