GTL Process to Utilise Gas Produced Offshore Mozambique

JOGMEC, Mozambique’s ENH and Mitsui have agreed to apply JAPAN-GTL Process with the aim of the utilization of the gas produced from offshore Mozambique, JOGMEC said in a statement Thursday.

The decision to sign a joint study agreement was taken in January.

Two Japanese entities have begun studying how to progress specifically with the joint study. JOGMEC visited Mozambique in early March to launch the work at the local site under the cooperation of ENH.

The joint study will establish how best to apply and commercialise the JAPAN-GTL Process. The agreement has strengthened the relationship between the Mozambique and Japanese companies who, together with Jogmec, will contribute to natural gas utilisation in Mozambique.

JOGMEC provides equity capital to Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1 Ltd., which holds participating interests in Rovuma Offshore Area 1 Block, Mozambique.

The JAPAN-GTL Process was developed and established by JOGMEC working in conjunction with Inpex, JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation, Japan Petroleum Exploration, Cosmo Oil, NIPPON STEEL & SUMIKIN ENGINEERING CO., LTD, and Chiyoda Corp.
