MELBOURNE (Reuters) – The Papua New Guinea government and France\u2019s Total SA on Tuesday signed a long-awaited fiscal stability agreement for the Papua LNG project, PNG Prime Minister James Marape said.<\/p>\n

After nearly two years of uncertainty over the fate of the 5.4 million tonne a year liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, Marape said the agreement would stick to terms agreed in April 2019 for the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt demonstrates Papua New Guinea\u2019s commitment to the Papua LNG Project and gives comfort and encouragement to the developers to progress the project,\u201d Marape said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Total and its partners ExxonMobil Corp and Oil Search Ltd had planned to develop Papua LNG in tandem with an expansion of Exxon\u2019s PNG LNG in a $13 billion project adding three new production units at the PNG LNG plant, to help save billions of dollars.<\/p>\n

The plan was to double the country\u2019s LNG exports to 16 million tonnes a year.<\/p>\n

However, Exxon has not agreed to terms sought by the government for the P\u2019nyang gas development that was going to help feed the expansion, so Total\u2019s Papua LNG project will go ahead with two new production units to be built at the PNG LNG site, fed by the Elk Antelope gas fields.<\/p>\n

Papua LNG would still benefit from savings by building its units at the PNG LNG site, which will also help limit its environmental impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are great outcomes for all stakeholders of the project but more so the National Government,\u201d Marape said.<\/p>\n
