Fisherman's Landing Gladstone LNG Project Update

Golar LNG Energy Limited ("Golar Energy" "Company") announces the termination of
the various agreements relating to the Gladstone LNG Project as a function of
the recent announcement of a conditional takeover proposal of Arrow Energy by
Royal Dutch Shell and PetroChina. The agreements terminated are Golar Energy's
shipping and marketing agreement HoA with Arrow, the HoA with Toyota Tsusho
Corporation in respect of the LNG supply and the original HoA with LNG Limited
for the offtake of LNG from the Gladstone LNG Project.

Golar Energy remains of the view that the Gladstone LNG Project site at
Fisherman's Landing, the mid-scale nature of the LNG plant and all the work
undertaken to date, renders the Gladstone LNG Project with the potential to be
developed and commercialised, in a much shorter time frame and at a lower cost
per produced tonne of LNG than other, much larger, LNG projects proposed by
others in the Port of Gladstone.

Arrow has placed finalisation of the previously announced purchase of the
Gladstone LNG Project from LNG Limited on hold and has signed an extension in
the HoA term to June 30 2010. The non-exclusive nature of this extension means
that LNG Limited is in a position to attract interest from other parties in the
region with respect to gas supply and the development of the Gladstone LNG
Project as an alternative to Arrow. Under the terms of the June 2006
Collaboration Agreement, between the LNGL and Golar Energy, which remains in
place, the two companies will continue to work closely in relation to
alternative development options for the Gladstone LNG Project in order to try to
achieve a positive outcome for shareholders.
