Total makes $207-MM investment in Tellurian to develop integrated gas project
Houston/Paris – Tellurian Investments Inc. and Total announce that Total is acquiring approximately 23% of Tellurian at $5.85 per share for an amount of $207 million to develop an integrated gas project, from the acquisition of competitive gas production in the US to the delivery of LNG to international markets from the Driftwood LNG terminal.
“Total’s investment materially strengthens Tellurian’s position as a large infrastructure development company and is an important milestone in the growth of Tellurian’s LNG business, including the Driftwood LNG project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana,” Tellurian President and CEO Meg Gentle said. “We welcome Total, one of the major global LNG operators, as a shareholder. We look forward to delivering low cost LNG to the global market.”
Driftwood LNG is in the engineering design and pre-filing phase of the project. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved Driftwood LNG’s pre-filing request on June 6, 2016. Tellurian expects to commence construction of Driftwood LNG in 2018 and produce LNG in 2022.
