Report

Good start to the year

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNGL) has already announced two encouraging updates in 2017. On 30 January, the EPC contract with KSJV was extended to the end of June 2017, giving greater construction price certainty as and when the final investment decision (FID) is taken. On 23 January, it announced a Heads of Agreement (HOA) with KG LNG terminal in India for 4mtpa for 20 years. While non-binding, this suggests the company is making progress towards financial close for Magnolia’s 8mtpa export project. As it works to retain as much cash as possible until the FID is reached, LNG is making good progress towards monetising the OSMR technology and Magnolia project. We leave our valuation unchanged, but note that if a binding contract is agreed with KG LNG it would be a major step towards realising the significant potential of the Magnolia project. Bear Head (with all environmental approvals obtained) remains a further option on the growing LNG trade in years to come.
