The multinational companies for the exploration and exploration of natural gas in the Rovuma Basin, led by the American Anadarko (area 1) and the Italian Eni (area 4), are negotiating concession contracts for the Maritime Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal (TMG) with the Mozambican government -LNG) and Material Offloading Facility – MOF.
These are fundamental infrastructures for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) logistics. However, the contractual terms proposed by the concessionaires are problematic, with enormous potential to compromise the economic development that is expected to be generated by gas exploration in Palma. In December 2014, Anadarko and Eni ensured very generous special conditions in the exploration of gas in the Rovuma Basin, through the special Decree1 applicable to the Liquefied Natural Gas project. Now, multinationals move towards the materialization of the achieved benefits, through respective contracts.
