Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s president, Filipe Nyusi, said on Thursday that the possibility of building a second floating platform to extract and process natural gas from the Rovuma basin, off Cabo Delgado, is under study, given the demand in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made the first platform: what is the possibility of making another one? There are studies in this sense\u201d among the measures \u201cto accelerate\u201d the production of those [gas] reserves, Nyusi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had meetings with companies that explore [gas], Italian, French and their partners. I had meetings to see what can be done,\u201d the President added.<\/p>\n

Filipe Nyusi was speaking after the V Summit between Mozambique and Portugal, in Maputo, with the Portuguese Prime Minister, Ant\u00f3nio Costa.<\/p>\n

The head of state was responding to questions about how Mozambican gas (whose Rovuma reserves are among the largest in the world) can fill the shortage in Europe, given the deterioration of Russian supplies after the invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

In Mozambique, the Rovuma basin has some of the largest gas reserves in the world and there are three exploration projects approved, two that carry gas from the seabed for onshore liquefaction and another offshore, with a floating platform (called Coral Sul).which is autonomous.<\/p>\n

Of the three, only the smallest, located offshore in the Indian Ocean, is about to export gas, because the other two (from Total and Exxon Mobil), on land, are at a standstill due to armed violence in Cabo Delgado province.<\/p>\n

The production of the Coral South project will all be sold to the BP for 20 years, with the option of extending it for another 10 years, that is, to satisfy more demand, such as that which is now emerging in Europe, it would be necessary to find other ways of extracting and processing the Rovuma gas, bypassing the violence in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

Nyusi acknowledged that \u201cthere is a lot of market, a lot of demand\u201d and hence the ongoing studies.<\/p>\n

The objective, he clarified, is \u201cto have, in a way, more production, which can feed\u201d the European and even the African market, he concluded.<\/p>\n
