The contract award – along with a second, concurrent Feed deal awarded to another player – paves the way for progress at the onshore LNG megaproject, with a final investment decision now pencilled in for 2026. It has been confirmed that the project will proceed on a modular basis, with the liquefaction process powered by electricity, implying a significant power generation requirement.
There are signs that work will also formally resume on the nearby, 15.2m t/yr TotalEnergies-operated Mozambique LNG (MLNG) project later this year.
Momentum for Mozambique's LNG projects has been slowly building following Eni's export of its first LNG cargo from the troubled Cabo Delgado region in 2022.
African Energy continues to follow the development of these key projects and the underlying security situation which caused force majeure to be triggered, following attacks by jihadist insurgents in March 2021.
