Analysts calm as Golar LNG project waits on FID into 2018

Golar LNG will have to wait until early next year for a final investment decision on the Fortuna FLNG project following delays to financing.

Analysts say investors in the company have been seeking gratification and looking for a decision on the Equatorial Guinea project this year.

While the slippage has been expected in the market, Golar’s partner Ophir Energy today confirmed the FID would not come until the first quarter of 2018.
