Project Profile
Location: Damerjog, Africa
Estimated Cost: US$3 billion
Capacity: 3 mtpa
Start-up year: 2022
The Djibouti LNG terminal will be located in Damerjog, near the border with Somalia. The facility will be developed by POLY-GCL Petroleum Group, a joint venture between China POLY Group and GCL Group.
The facility will have one liquefaction train in the first phase, with initial exports of 3 bcm per year, rising to 6 bcm per year during the second year of operation, and an option to be expanded to 10 mtpa. Feed gas will be delivered via a 750-km pipeline transporting gas from Ethiopia’s Ogaden Basin to Djibouti, with a planned phase one throughput of 4 bcm per year. The proposed LNG terminal will be able to receive liquefied natural gas carrier with the capacity of up to 267,000 cbm and will ship the chilled fuel to China.
The pipeline is expected to carry a total cost of US$1.3 billion, with another US$1.7 billion going on construction of the LNG plant.
