result that the facilities currently are
required to be made available for service
by September 28, 2023.2
In its 2023 Extension of Time Request,
Delfin states that it has made significant
progress in developing the Project.
Delfin states that the Project remains
commercially viable with a binding
LNG sale and purchase agreement with
Vitol Spa for 0.5 million metric tonnes
per annum (mtpa) of LNG delivered free
on-board at the Delfin LNG deepwater
port, for 15 years. Second, Delphin in
April 2023, entered into a binding SPA
with an affiliate of Hartree Partners,
another leading trading firm, for a 20
year term to supply 0.6 MTPA of LNG.
Third, on July 11, 2023, Delfin and
Centrica the parent company of British
Gas, Scottish Gas, and Bord Gais entered
a binding agreement for a SPA of1.0
mtpa of LNG for a 15 year term. Fourth,
Delfin expects to execute a binding
agreement in late 2023 for 1.0 mtpa to
Devon Energy Corporation. Lastly,
Delfin states that the four LNG
agreements will provide revenue of
about 18 billion over the contracted
terms.
Delfin explains that since it’s July
2022 extension order, it has modular
project consisting of 4 separates Floating
LNG vessels (FLNGV) and only requires
2.0 to 2.5 mtpa of LNG for the long-term
off-take contracts to support a final
investment (FID) and begin construction
of the first FLNGV. Moreover, Delfin
affirms that FID for the first FLNGV is
on schedule for the end of the year.
Additionally, Delfin states it is in
agreement with major infrastructure
investors to provide the needed equity
for its first two FLNGVs and has begun
discussions with a consortium of banks
to provide the project debt financing.
Accordingly, Delfin requests an
extension of time until September 28,
2027, to complete construction of the
onshore facilities and place them into
service.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar
day intervention and comment period
deadline. Any person wishing to
comment on Delfin’s request for an
extension of time may do so. No reply
comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal
status by becoming a party to the
proceedings for this request, you

stated below, file a motion to intervene
