Macauhub: ENI plans to diversify natural gas exploration in Mozambique

The ENI group wants to use different methods for natural gas exploration in the Rovuma basin in northern Mozambique and production is expected to start in 2019, the Managing Director of the company for the region said Wednesday in Maputo.

Fabrizio Trilli said the success of the Italian group’s project should not be limited to extraction and export of liquefied natural gas (LNG), so the group, as early as 2015, want to start construction of a power plant in Palma district, with a 75-megawatt capacity, and a gas processing plant for liquid fuels (GTL), producing up to 96,000 barrels per day, of which 70 percent will be diesel and 30 percent naphtha.

“For this project to succeed, all solutions must be explored: we must use all technically and commercially feasible solutions,” said Trilli
