An EPC contract was agreed with SKE&C USA, Inc. (SKEC). The total capital cost for the project remains as previously stated at US$3.5 billion, equating to US$440/t.

Magnolia LNG signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kellogg Brown & Root LLC, a KBR subsidiary, whereby KBR and SKC will execute a joint venture agreement to deliver the project.
