MAPUTO - Italy's Eni should make a final investment decision on its first offshore deep-water Liquefied Natural Gas project in Mozambique by the end of this year, Energy Minister Lleticia da Silva Klemens said on Wednesday.

U.S. company Anadarko is expected to make its own investment decision on a separate LNG project next year, da Silva Klemens said.

Mozambique has some 85 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves -- enough to supply Germany, Britain, France and Italy for nearly two decades. It is likely to take at least five years after final investment decisions before gas production begins.

據路透社11月2日馬普托報道，莫桑比克能源部長席爾瓦?克萊門斯周三在馬普托表示，意大利埃尼公司應該在今年年底前對其在莫桑比克的首個深水LNG項目作出一個最終投資決定。

克萊門斯說，美國阿納達科石油公司預計將在明年對另外一個LNG項目作出其自己的投資決定。

莫桑比克擁有大約85萬億立方英尺的天然氣儲量，這個儲量數足以供應德國、英國、法國和意大利近20年。

在作出最終投資決定以后很可能至少需要5年的時間才能開始天然氣生產。
