Technip Energies and JGC Corporation have been awarded the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the Rovuma LNG project in Mozambique.

The contract was awarded by ExxonMobil on behalf of the Mozambique Rovuma Venture (MRV), a JV between ExxonMobil, Eni and CNPC.

Located at Palma in the Afungi peninsula, north-east of Mozambique, the Rovuma LNG project is designed to feature 12 fully modularised LNG trains, each with a capacity of 1.5mtpa and a total capacity of 18mtpa.

This approach utilises electric-driven LNG trains to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional gas turbines.

As per the plan, the project's design includes the use of prefabricated and standardised modules, which will be assembled on-site, ensuring cost-effectiveness and a reliable delivery schedule.

Technip Energies SVP of gas and low carbon energies Mario Tommaselli said: “We are honoured to have been selected by ExxonMobil and its partners to design the Rovuma LNG project.

“By leveraging our expertise in modularisation and electrified LNG, we are committed to support ExxonMobil and its partners towards final investment decision, as well as strengthening our presence in Mozambique to contribute to long-term economic growth and its ambition to become one of Africa’s leading LNG exporters.”

JGC president Farhan Mujib said: “With the global focus on decarbonisation and energy security, the JGC Group is accelerating the promotion of energy transition, and this project is firmly in line with the direction of our strategy.

“We are convinced this project of national significance will contribute to enhance economic and industrial growth in Mozambique and East Africa."

The Rovuma LNG project aims to extract, liquefy and sell natural gas from the offshore Rovuma basin's Area 4 block, which is said to hold more than 85 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

MRV holds a 70% interest in the Area 4 concession, with the remaining 30% split equally among partners KOGAS, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos and ADNOC, which agreed to acquire a 10% stake from Galp in May.
