Golar and bp enter into commercial reset arrangements for FLNG Gimi
Golar LNG Ltd. (“Golar”), and
bp, as Operator of the Greater Tortue-Ahmeyim LNG Project, have
executed agreements to implement a commercial reset for FLNG
Gimi. The commercial reset agreement simplifies
contractual cash flows and settles previous disputes related to
payment mechanisms for pre-commercial operations date (“Pre-COD”)
contractual cash flows. Golar and bp have agreed an updated
schedule of daily payments until the Commercial Operations Date
(“COD”). The daily payments have step-up mechanisms based on
project milestones up to COD and are secured by long stop dates.
Golar will also be entitled to certain lump sum bonus payments
subject to achievement of certain project milestones. These Pre-COD
cash flows are expected to be deferred on the balance sheet and
amortized over the 20-year contract term from COD.
The commercial reset settles all ongoing
disputes including the current arbitration process and re-aligns
the parties towards reaching COD.
To shorten the time to COD the parties have also
agreed to start the commissioning of FLNG Gimi with an LNG
cargo prior to the availability of gas from the FPSO.
