道达尔为莫桑比克天然气项目获得158亿美元资金

据世界石油2020 年7月8日巴黎报道，据南非贷款银行第一兰特银行在莫桑比克当地单位莫桑比克第一国家银行称，法国石油巨头道达尔公司日前已为其在莫桑比克北部的大型液化天然气（LNG）项目争取到了158亿美元的资金。

道达尔公司拒绝置评。

莫桑比克第一国家银行在周三发布的一份新闻稿中表示，道达尔公司的莫桑比克巨型LNG开发项目的融资合同已在7月3日签署。虽然当地媒体当时对此进行了广泛报道，但道达尔公司尚未证实这一签字。

新闻稿说：“FNB打算进入莫桑比克的其它大型LNG项目，就像其参与道达尔公司融资一样，参与一个由20家银行机构组成的财团，该财团向这个项目提供了158亿美元的资金，最后的合同已在7月3日签署。”

第一兰特银行的企业和投资银行单位兰德商业银行此前曾表示，它是这个财团的一部分。

莫桑比克LNG项目是该国最北部正在开发的几个项目之一，道达尔公司此前在莫桑比克沿海地区获得了该国10年来最大的天然气发现。

Total secures $15.8 B in funding for Mozambique gas project

French oil major Total has secured $15.8 billion in funding for its massive LNG project in northern Mozambique, according to South African lender’s FirstRand local unit, FNB Mozambique.

Total declined to comment.

In a press release published on Wednesday, FNB Mozambique said the financing contracts for Total’s blockbuster development had been signed on Friday. While this was widely reported in local media at the time, Total has not confirmed the signing.

“FNB intends to enter other large natural gas projects in Mozambique, just as it entered into Total’s financing, in a consortium of 20 banking institutions that granted $15.8 billion, for which the last contracts were signed last Friday,” it said.

FirstRand’s corporate and investment banking unit, Rand Merchant Bank (RMB), has previously said it was part of the consortium.

The project, Mozambique LNG, is one of several being developed in the country’s extreme north following one of the largest gas finds in a decade off its coast.
