The accord, which lasts for more than 20 years, has been approved by Mozambique’s government, but remains conditional on theArea 4 operator Eni and its partners Galp, Kogas, and ENH taking a final investment decision, likely by year-end, to move the project forward.
Eni has a 50% indirect interest, owned through EEA, which holds a 70% stake of Area 4. China’s CNPC also has a 20% indirect interest via EEA.
