Etinde hinges on government talks
The future of the Cameroonian gas project depends on the outcome of commercial and contractual negotiations
Cameroon’s Etinde gas project has made technical progress, and its developers now expect to make FID in 2022, but only after concluding protracted negotiations with the government.
