Ethiopia has cancelled a contract with China’s Poly-GCL which has been active in the country for almost a decade trying to commercialise the 4 trillion cubic feet of gas held in Caleb and Hilala gas fields in the remote Ogaden region. The project has involved plans to build a 767-kilometre pipeline to Djibouti port on the Red Sea from where the gas would be converted into liquefied natural gas for export via ship. Development activities appear to have been limited for the last four years, when production tests were carried out on the liquids held in the two fields.
