TOKYO: TotalEnergies expects its $20-billion Mozambique liquefied natural gas (LNG) project to resume development “this summer”, Chief Executive Patrick Pouyanne said on Wednesday.
He was asked about the timing during a session at the Japan Energy Summit in Tokyo.
Covered by force majeure since 2021, following insurgent attacks, the project includes development of the Golfinho and Atum natural gas fields in the Offshore Area 1 concession and the building of a two-train liquefaction plant.
