On 29 April 2021, CIP held a webinar with the theme “Impact of the Armed Conflict in Cabo Delgado on Gas Projects in Mozambique – possible solutions for mitigation”. The speakers were Florival Mucave, from the Oil and Gas Chamber of Mozambique, Joseph, Hanlon, International Development Specialist, José Mendes¸ from the Gas Department of the Mozambican Geological Mining Association – AGMM and Assif Osman, Businessman from Cabo Delgado.
The recent armed attacks on 24 March 2021 in Palma District, Cabo Delgado Province, in addition to the deaths, destruction of economic and social infrastructure and displacement of thousands of people, caused the paralysis of Total's activities with no foreseeable resumption. This paralysis poses a number of uncertainties for the gas industry that were the subject of reflection in the webinar.
Speakers at the webinar presented their views on the impact of attacks on gas projects in Mozambique and possible solutions for mitigation.
