Mozambique Denies Suspension of Subcontractors of LNG Project in Cabo Delgado

(3 Minutes Read)

The Mozambique LNG Project, budgeted at 20 billion US dollars, began with the discovery of over 65 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Rovuma Basin, which led TotalEnergies and its partners to make a Final Investment Decision in 2019.

Mazime Rabilloud, chairperson of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) extraction project in the Rovuma basin, off the coast of the northern Mozambican province of Cabo Delgado, denies that those companies subcontracted to work on the project are being suspended, as some media recently reported.

In April 2021, the French oil and gas giant TotalEnergies declared force majeure to suspend all activities on the project due to a major raid by Islamist terrorists against the town of Palma.
