ExxonMobil Moçambique seeks camp EPC for LNG project

Mozambique

MAPUTO, March 14, 2024 – ExxonMobil has launched a tender for EPC services for camp construction at the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique, Upstream Online reported on Thursday.

Bidding companies have until the end of the week to submit responses, the report said.

Rovuma LNG is a planned 18-million-tonne-per-year facility set to be built in the northern province of Cabo Delgado. It will be fed by gas produced from the Area 4 licence in the offshore Rovuma Basin.

Its camp is expected to house around 2,500 workers.

In February, a Galp executive told Upstream that the partners anticipated an FID on the project in 2025.

Rovuma LNG has seen years of delays following terrorist attacks in the key city of Palma. Force majeure was declared in 2021.

ExxonMobil co-leads the Mozambique Rovuma Venture with partner Eni, working alongside CNPC, Galp, ENH and Kogas. ExxonMobil is primarily responsible for the LNG project, while Eni focuses on producing gas from Area 4.

An initial FID of USD 500 million for the project was reached in 2019 between the government and Mozambique Rovuma Venture.

Rovuma LNG is Eni’s second LNG development in Mozambique, following the 3.4-million-tonne-per-year Coral Sul FLNG vessel, which on its 2022 launch transformed the country into a global player in the LNG space.
