Feb 12 (LNGJ) - French major Total, operator of the Papua LNG feed-gas assets, and joint venture partners ExxonMobil and Australia-listed Oil Search have signed a Fiscal Stability Agreement with Papua New Guinea. “The Fiscal Stability Agreement is the final step envisioned under the Papua LNG Gas Agreement to guarantee Papua LNG fiscal stability,” said Oil Search. It follows the amendments to Acts passed by the PNG Parliament in November 2020.
“We are pleased to see further progress achieved on Papua LNG,” said Keiran Wulff, Oil Search's Managing Director in regard to the PNG LNG expansion project to more than double current output. “It also demonstrates increasing alignment between the PNG Government and the joint venture partners. We look forward to progressing Papua LNG and announcing further milestones consistent with our Strategic Review,” added Wulff.
