Eni (E) to Develop Second FLNG Facility Offshore Mozambique
Read MoreHide Full Article
Eni SPA (E - Free Report) began local discussions to develop Coral Norte, a second floating LNG (“FLNG”) platform on the Coral gas field offshore northern Mozambique.
Eni hired Consultec to conduct the environmental impact assessment process.
The Coral Norte FLNG project will build on its existing Coral Sul facility offshore Mozambique. Notably, Eni operates the Coral Sul floating LNG project.
In 2015, Eni acquired its environmental license for Coral Sul. The facility shipped its first cargo in November last year. Shortly, Eni started working on plans for a second unit.
The latest facility will be developed 25 kilometers north of Coral Sul. The Coral Norte project is estimated to cost $7 billion. The facility is expected to begin liquefaction and export in 2027 if it progresses as planned.
The Coral reservoir holds 17.7 trillion cubic feet of gas and needs a multi-phase development strategy to tap the abundant gas reserves. Coral Norte is the next phase of the development plan.
Coral Norte, which will be a replica of Coral Sul, will be able to produce 3.5 million tons per year of LNG. The facility will comprise six production wells and a subsea production system, with umbilical, risers and flowlines to transport gas to the FLNG vessel.
As the world is moving toward a more sustainable and low-carbon future, Mozambique represents an excellent platform and will play a strategic role in satisfying the world’s energy requirements. The gas reserves in Mozambique will contribute to energy security in Europe.
