Eni is exploring possibility of replicating the success of the Coral-Sul FLNG installation, which was inaugurated by President of Mozambique, Filipe Jacinto Nyusi on November 23.

Located in the ultra-deep waters of the Rovuma basin, Coral South is a landmark project that is projecting Mozambique onto the global LNG stage, paving the way to a transformational change of the country through development of gas resources.

On the sidelines of the inauguration, President Nyusi and Eni representatives discussed the further FLNG development, as well as other onshore projects in Mozambique.

They also discussed the status of Eni’s initiatives towards carbon neutrality, including the agri-feedstock project under the agreement between Eni and the government of Mozambique. The project aims to produce oil from seeds, wastes and residues that do not compete with food crops and agriculture lands, to be used in biofuel production.

Eni has been present in Mozambique since 2006. It is the delegated operator of the Coral South Project on behalf of the Area 4 Partners. The company discovered supergiant natural gas resources in Area 4, the Rovuma basin, namely the Coral, Mamba Complex and Agulha reservoirs, holding estimated 2,400 billion cubic meters of gas in place.
