This milestone will position the country as Africa&#8217;s third-largest LNG producer and exporter, strengthening its role as a key player in the global energy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coral North is expected to double the economic impact for Mozambique, thanks to LNG revenues, increased competitiveness of local industries, and the creation of new jobs. Coral North will also expand investments in local development initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eni has been present in Mozambique since 2006. Between 2011 and 2014, the company discovered vast natural gas resources in the Rovuma Basin, in the Coral, Mamba Complex, and Agulha fields, with approximately 2,400 billion cubic meters of gas in place. Coral South, the first gas production project from the Rovuma Basin, has already successfully delivered over 135 LNG cargoes to the market. Eni also contributes to the country&#8217;s economic diversification and access to education, healthcare, and water through the implementation of an integrated sustainability plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the presence of the Minister of Mineral Resources of the Republic of Mozambique, Estev\u00e3o Pale, and Eni&#8217;s Chief Operating Officer, Global Natural Resources, Guido Brusco, Eni and its partners, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/mozambique-eni-announces-the-launch-of-the-coral-north-flng-hull\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":15530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7443,11],"tags":[479,11885,12319,766,768,3754,1428,1636,2191,11884],"class_list":["post-15529","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-eastern-africa","category-top-news","tag-cnpc","tag-coral-north-flng","tag-coral-north-flng-hull","tag-enh","tag-eni","tag-kogas","tag-lng","tag-mozambique","tag-rovuma-basin","tag-xrg","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Coral-North-FLNG.jpg?fit=750%2C500&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-42t","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":15270,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/mozambique-eni-announces-final-investment-decision-for-coral-north-project\/","url_meta":{"origin":15529,"position":0},"title":"MOZAMBIQUE: Eni announces Final Investment Decision for  Coral North project","author":"","date":"October 2, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Eni and its partners CNPC, ENH, Kogas, and XRG have reached the Final Investment Decision (FID) to develop the Coral North FLNG project, deepwater offshore Cabo Delgado, north of Mozambique.
