The first LNG cargo from Mozambique has now shipped
Eni, as delegated operator of the Coral South project on behalf of its Area 4 Partners (ExxonMobil, CNPC, GALP, KOGAS and ENH), announced that the first shipment of LNG produced from the Coral gas field, in the ultra-deep waters of the Rovuma Basin, has now left from the Coral Sul Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility.
Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi commented that: “The first shipment of LNG from Coral South project, and from Mozambique, is a new and significant step forward in Eni’s strategy to leverage gas as a source that can contribute in a significant way to Europe’s energy security, also through the increasing diversification of supplies, while also supporting a just and sustainable transition. We will continue to work with our partners to ensure timely valorisation of Mozambique’s vast gas resources”.
Coral South is a landmark project for the industry and puts Mozambique onto the global LNG stage. The project, sanctioned in 2017, comes on stream after just 5 years, in line with the initial budget and schedule, despite the disruptions caused by the Covid pandemic, Eni said in a press statement.
Coral Sul FLNG has a gas liquefaction capacity of 3.4 million tons per year and will produce LNG from the 450 billion cubic meters of gas of the Coral reservoir.
Area 4 is operated by Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV), an incorporated joint venture owned by Eni, ExxonMobil and CNPC, which holds a 70 percent interest in the Area 4 exploration and production concession contract. In addition to MRV, the other shareholders in Area 4 are Galp, KOGAS and ENH, each with a 10 percent participation interest. Eni is the delegated operator for the Coral South project and all upstream activities in Area 4.
