Tellurian and Petronet Sign MOU for Up to 5 Million Tonnes of LNG Through Equity Investment in Driftwood

Tellurian Inc. (Tellurian) (NASDAQ: TELL) and Petronet LNG Limited INDIA (PLL) announced today that the two companies have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) wherein Petronet and its affiliates intend to negotiate the purchase of up to five million tonnes per annum (5 mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Driftwood, concurrent with its equity investment, which remains subject to further due diligence and approval of its board of directors. Tellurian and Petronet will endeavor to finalize the transaction agreements by 31 March 2020.

President and CEO Meg Gentle said, “Petronet, India’s largest LNG importer, will be able to deliver clean, low-cost, and reliable natural gas to India from Driftwood. Increasing natural gas use will enable India to fuel its impressive economic growth to achieve Prime Minister Modi’s goal of a $5 trillion economy while contributing to a cleaner environment. It is an honor to sign the MOU with Petronet in the presence of H.E. Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At Tellurian, we look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with Petronet in the Driftwood project.”

The Driftwood project includes natural gas production, gathering, processing, and transportation facilities, along with Driftwood LNG, a proposed ~27.6 mtpa liquefaction export facility that will be located near Lake Charles, Louisiana on the U.S. Gulf Coast. In April, the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued the order granting authorization for Driftwood LNG and the 96-mile Driftwood Pipeline, which will inter-connect the LNG terminal to the U.S. natural gas market.

01:00:00
Customer is king

How the financial model has evolved from 100% equity to a hybrid model of debt and equity
• We are in an evolving industry
• Customers are relying increasingly on the spot market – less need for long-term contracts
• Finding out what is the right model for a low-cost commodity market
• Factors:
– Getting access to low-cost gas
– Low-cost liquefaction
– Cost of financing
• Customers back leveraging on their end
• Sovereign wealth funds / state owned enterprises
• Giving customers the choice on financing

01:07:33
Benefits of new model

• Convenience of syndicating to the larger group
• Offsets the incremental cost of servicing the debt
• We have put debt in the structure, but providing the LNG ‘at cost’ to customer

01:11:35
What do the economics look like

What do the economics look like when you have stressed that scenario with regards to the returns to the builder of the project and the customer. It becomes very difficult when you have to pay debt holders, preferred holders and equity holders – what does that look like?
• We are proposing a different model
• A few key variables:
– How much is the cost of the project
– Assets
– Debt & equity

01:16:03
Banks finance two things…

Key criteria used by banks to evaluate credit capacity
• More innovation needed in industry
• Banks finance two things:
– Assets
– Cash flow
• Can we have more equity financed by the customers themselves

… be continued.
