據世界石油2020 年7月8日巴黎報道，據南非貸款銀行第一蘭特銀行在莫桑比克當地單位莫桑比克第一國家銀行稱，法國石油巨頭道達爾公司日前已為其在莫桑比克北部的大型液化天然氣（LNG）項目爭取到了158億美元的資金。

道達爾公司拒絕置評。

莫桑比克第一國家銀行在周三發布的一份新聞稿中表示，道達爾公司的莫桑比克巨型LNG開發項目的融資合同已在7月3日簽署。雖然當地媒體當時對此進行了廣泛報道，但道達爾公司尚未證實這一簽字。

新聞稿說：“FNB打算進入莫桑比克的其它大型LNG項目，就像其參與道達爾公司融資一樣，參與一個由20家銀行機構組成的財團，該財團向這個項目提供了158億美元的資金，最后的合同已在7月3日簽署。”

第一蘭特銀行的企業和投資銀行單位蘭德商業銀行此前曾表示，它是這個財團的一部分。

莫桑比克LNG項目是該國最北部正在開發的幾個項目之一，道達爾公司此前在莫桑比克沿海地區獲得了該國10年來最大的天然氣發現。

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.
