Tellurian updates financing process for Driftwood LNG
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$TELL #LNG–Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian) (NYSE American: TELL) announced today that it has updated its Driftwood LNG financing strategy to prioritize securing equity partners. Part of this strategy includes introducing flexibility in its liquefied natural gas portfolio with the termination of two current sales and purchase agreements.
President and CEO Octávio Simões said, “The potential corporate and strategic partners we are seeking may want liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes that they can sell globally and now we have some capacity to offer that option. We have made good progress on our construction plan and will continue funding that with our cash and operating cash flow.”
Simões added, “What has not changed for Tellurian is that we are an operating natural gas producer with revenue from our gas sales. Last quarter we produced nine billion cubic feet of natural gas and had over $61 million in sales, and since then we have closed the EnSight acquisition. Currently we have 11 natural gas wells in various stages of completion and therefore expect a significant increase in production and sales next quarter. In addition, we will add to our value when our fully permitted Driftwood LNG project is completed, and we can reach the global markets with LNG sales at global prices.”
