Eni’s 3.4 mtpa Coral Sul FLNG located offshore Mozambique has achieved a new production milestone.
The Italian company announced on Friday the achievement of 5 million tons of LNG produced from the Coral Sul FLNG, located in the ultra-deep waters of the Rovuma Basin.
The FLNG started production in October 2022 and has exported so far 70 cargoes of LNG and 10 of condensate, according to Eni.
“This is a significant milestone for the project, and it represents not only a major technical and operational accomplishment, but also stands as a testament to the dedication, commitment, and collaboration of all the team and stakeholders,” Eni said.
In November 2022, the Coral Sul FLNG shipped its first cargo of LNG, adding Mozambique to the LNG producing countries.
The TJS consortium, consisting of Technip Energies, JGC, and Samsung Heavy, built the unit for Eni, the first floating LNG facility ever to be deployed in the deep waters of the African continent.
Eni discovered Coral back in May 2012 and it operates the Area 4 along its partners ExxonMobil, CNPC, GALP, Kogas, and ENH.
In addition to this unit, the partners are now working on the second FLNG project offshore Mozambique, called Coral Norte (Coral North).
Coral Norte would be a replica of Coral South.
