  • Will Mozambique offer new exploration blocks for oil and gas?
  • Mozambique will offer around 12 new exploration blocks for oil and gas early next year, according to government officials. Although a number of gas fields in Mozambique were discovered in the early 1960's by Gulf Oil, they remained unexploited owing to continuing civil war and a lack of major gas consumers.
  • Can natural gas be used in Mozambique?
  • The further discovery of large reserves (estimated at more than 60 bcm) of commercially exploitable natural gas in the Pande gas field in Inhambane province and the possibility of utilising natural gas in regional industrial growth has brought renewed interest in Mozambique's upstream prospects by foreign oil companies.
  • Is Mozambique a good place to invest in oil & gas?
  • Mozambique was not a country famous for its oil and gas industry, except for one gas producing project that exports to South Africa. However, recent discoveries have been made offshore and more international companies are drawn by the possibilities of investment in this industry.
