Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) and Mozgas Energy Lta have just announced their intention to start proceedings to acquire 2D seismic data and execute research and evaluation wells to determine hydrocarbon potential in the Mazenga block in Inhambane province.<\/p>\n

A number of public consultation meetings with residents in Inhambane, Panda, Morrumbene, Massinga, Funhalouro, Vilanculos and Maputo are scheduled for the next few days.<\/p>\n

These meetings aim to inform the public about the project and solicit concerns and suggestions from civil society and government institutions about the project and the Environmental Pre-feasibility and Scoping Study (EPDA\/EPDA).<\/p>\n

Located in Mozambique\u2019s sedimentary basin, the Mazenga block is 80 percent owned by MozGas, with the remaining 20 percent owned by ENH.<\/p>\n

The Mazenga block was concessioned in 2020. During the first sub-period of research, the concessionaire undertakes to reprocess and re-interpret 3,000 km of two-dimensional (2D) seismic data; acquire 15,000 km of aeromagnetic and gravimetric data; acquire 1,500 km of 2D seismic data; and carry out geological and geophysical studies.<\/p>\n

In the second sub-period, the concessionaire must ensure the drilling of at least one research well to a depth of 2,500 m or until the formation of the Domo, as well as carrying out the geological and geophysical studies.<\/p>\n

The Mozambique Sedimentary Basin covers almost the entire southern region of the country and a part of the central area, being composed of geological formations that have a high probability of holding oil or gas.<\/p>\n

Although still little known from a prospecting point of view, it is believed that the oil system in the Mozambique Basin is related to the Pande, Temane and Inhassoro gas fields. It is also there where the Funhalouro-Mazenga systems are located.<\/p>\n

The Buzi block in Sofala province is located in the northern part of this sedimentary basin.<\/p>\n

ENH, in partnership with the Indonesian company Buzi Hydrocarbons PTE Limitada (BHPL) has been carrying out tests to confirm the commercial viability of a recently made discovery since the end of August.<\/p>\n
