Africa-Press – Mozambique. President Filipe Nyusi has announced the reinforcement of a military security cordon in the north of Cabo Delgado to facilitate the progress of natural gas exploration projects in the Rovuma Basin, the first phase of which began with the inauguration on Wednesday of the Coral Sul FNLG development.
Filipe Nyusi said that this aims to ensure the country’s prospects with regard to gas production.
“We formed a defensive cordon by increasing the capacity of the Defence and Security Forces, and with the support of friendly forces from Rwanda and SADC in areas adjacent to Palma district,” the president said. “At this moment, and progressively, the situation is returning to normality. The population is returning and local authorities are being re-established. The gradual reconstruction of social infrastructure is happening in the destroyed zones.”
Yesterday, the head of state said that Mozambique could see a gradual increase in gas production levels and exports to African countries by 2050.
Projections indicate that production will rise from four billion cubic metres per year (in 2021), to 83 billion cubic metres by 2050.
“By 2050, Mozambique could be the biggest producer and exporter of LNG, above countries in the maturity phase. In this sense, our positioning depends on the resumption of construction work on the onshore modules for Area 1 and the continuation of work on Area 4, onshore,” President Nyusi said.
