The agreement will grant Naturgy USD 600 mn for UFG\u2019s assets outside Egypt and its equity in the Damietta LNG plant transferred to the remaining stakeholders in the plant. It will now be 50% owned by Eni, 40% by Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Co.

Naturgy said the agreement will amicably end the dispute, despite the World Bank\u2019s International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/09\/04\/arbitrator-orders-egypt-to-pay-usd-2-bn-to-union-fenosa-gas-over-natural-gas-supply-cut-to-damietta-plant\/\">ordering the Egyptian government pay a USD 2 bn settlement<\/a> to UFG. <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e281ee54-5cc8-4127-bea3-43547836623a\">Last month<\/a>, those demands were restated in testimony made to a DC court. <strong>The cleared dispute now puts the plant on track to begin production again by June 2020<\/strong>, Eni said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restarting operations at Damietta is particularly important now that we have surplus natural gas<\/strong> thanks to several new gas discoveries. Egypt officially became a net exporter of LNG last year, with imports of LNG falling to zero in 2019 and exports amounting to some USD 1.24 bn-worth of LNG, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/e44c1bf8-6015-420d-91ba-1e091f75874a\">marking a nearly 150% y-o-y increase<\/a>. A USD 15 bn Israeli gas import agreement that was signed in February 2018 and upgraded earlier this year, will see Israel ship more than 85 bcm of gas to Egypt over the next 15 years and the first shipment made its way into Egypt <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/0b01eeb3-86ed-4805-a41e-59b38ccb0709\">in January<\/a>.

Low domestic demand, falling demand in its only pipeline export market Jordan, and the start of gas imports from Israel earlier this month are all contributing to oversupply \u2014 all the while Egypt\u2019s LNG selling point sits higher than global gas prices at the moment, estimated at a value of USD 4.41\/mmBtu by JKM and USD 3.49\/mmBtu by Platts Analytics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spain\u2019s Naturgy is pulling out of its Egypt operations, allowing liquefaction operations at Damietta LNG plant to begin again: Italy\u2019s Eni and Spain\u2019s Naturgy have reached an agreement with the Egyptian government that will see Naturgy exit Union Fenosa Gas (UFG), its joint venture with Eni, according to statements from Naturgy and Eni.
