Project Profile

Value: US$10 billion
Location: Lindi, Tanzania
Start-up Year: 2021 or 2022

Statoil and BG Group plan to build a US$10 billion East African liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal well placed for exports to Asia, after the Norwegian company made a new find off the coast of Tanzania. The plant to be built by Statoil and BG would have at least two processing units, or trains, to process gas from Statoil’s Block 2 and BG’s Block 1 and will be one of the first LNG terminals to be built in Tanzania. Statoil would extract the gas from the seabed via a big offshore development before piping it to the export terminal on land.

The facility will now be built in Lindi rather than Mtwara.
