Eni and its partners have launched the hull of the Coral North floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel, marking a key milestone in the development of Mozambique’s offshore gas resources.
Coral North will be the second floating LNG facility deployed in the Rovuma Basin offshore Cabo Delgado in northern Mozambique and will produce gas from the northern part of the Coral reservoir.
The project builds on experience gained from Coral South, which began production in 2022.
Designed to improve efficiency and optimize performance, Coral North aims to reduce costs and execution risks, with completion targeted for 2028. The facility will have a liquefaction capacity of 3.6 million tonnes per year, doubling Mozambique’s total LNG output to 7 million tonnes per year.
The hull launch took place in Geoje in South Korea, and according to Eni, the project is proceeding in line with its planned schedule, Eni said.
The project will be implemented by the joint venture formed by Eni (50%), CNPC (20%), Kogas (10%), ENH (10%) and ADNOC’s subsidiary XRG (10%).
