Mozambique LNG project (Rovuma basin Area 1)

Overview:

• Mozambique LNG project (Rovuma basin Area 1).
• Anadarko Petroleum is developing Area 1 of Mozambique's LNG resources in the Rovuma basin in the Prosperidade and Golfinho/Atum areas.
• Anadarko first made an LNG discovery in 2010 with a final investment decision expected in 2017. Production is expected to begin in 2022-23. It is estimated that the area contains 75 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves.
• The project also includes the construction of an LNG terminal on the Afungi peninsula which requires a resettlement plan for the existing community on the site.
• In December 2015 Anadarko and Eni (the developer of Area 4) executed a unitization and unit operating agreement (UUOA) relating to the gas resources that straddle Areas 1 and 4.
