Sept 20 (LNGJ) - Mozambique said the offshore Coral South floating LNG production project is still scheduled for start-up in 2022, with the FLNG hull scheduled to arrive from South Korea before the end of 2021. However, the Mozambique onshore project being developed by the joint venture led by French major TotalEnergies from Rovuma Basin Area 1 resources is still paused because of insecurity in the north of the country.
“Coral South commercial production remains a target for 2022. This is the very first step, but a significant step for Mozambique to join the LNG producing countries,” said the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Ernesto Max Elias Tonela. The FLNG project will produce 3.4 million tonnes per annum from the Rovuma Basin Area 4 joint venture being developed by Italian energy company Eni and partners. UK major BP has signed a 20-year agreement to purchase all of the Coral South output.
