Ten players in talks over $2 billion Philippines LNG import project

Ten potential players in the Philippines' $2 billion liquefied natural gas import and power project have held pre-application meetings with the country’s Department of Energy (DoE), though firm plans to date are thin on the ground, writes Amanda Battersby.

China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), Tokyo Gas, local company First Gen, a partnership of local company Cleanway and Resiro, Vires Energy Corporation and Carmine Energy are among the 10 that have expressed interest, as is the state-owned Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC).
