Baker Botts to assist nation to conclude LNG project talks Plans for terminal have been under consideration since 2014
Tanzania has selected U.S. law firm Baker Botts LLP as an adviser to help conclude talks with international oil companies over a long-delayed $30 billion liquefied natural gas terminal.
The nation wants to sign a Host Government Agreement with oil majors, including Equinor ASA and Shell Plc by April, Energy Minister January Makamba said. The move will give further impetus to the LNG project that’s been under consideration since 2014 and gained momentum after President Samia Suluhu Hassan took office in March.
