Eni's Rovuma locks in Technip for Coral Norte project delivery

The Eni-led Mozambique Rovuma Venture has signed a significant contract with Technip Energies, JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries to secure their ongoing project delivery services for the long term on the Coral Norte Floating Liquefied Natural Gas project offshore Mozambique

This follows the previously announced contract on initial activities, locking in Technip's services for the advanced stages of development as well.

The country’s second floating LNG facility, Coral Norte will be an enhanced replica of the Coral Sul project, which is currently up and running, producing over 5 million tonnes of LNG. The hull launch of Coral Norte already took place in South Korea in January. 

Loic Chapuis, president - project delivery and services of Technip Energies, said, "Building on the success of Coral Sul, and together with JGC and Samsung Heavy Industries, this award further strengthens our long-standing partnership with Eni and their Area 4 partners. It also underscores our leadership in delivering innovative and complex LNG solutions to support long-term energy supply and security in Mozambique and globally.”

Replicating the same feed gas composition and field location of the Coral Sul will ensure a cost-effective and de-risked project delivery for Coral Norte, as it will be the result of proven design. This predictability at scale will ensure boosted LNG output from Coral Norte with optimal investments.

“Coral Norte is a clear recognition of Technip Energies’ engineering and project delivery expertise and our ability to replicate proven solutions with discipline and certainty," Chapuis said.
