Suspended by force majeure since the spring of 2021, work on the Mozambique LNG project has restarted with over 4,000 workers now engaged onshore and offshore to meet a 2029 deadline for first LNG.
Shell CEO Wael Sawan said Nigeria’s improving investment climate is boosting its appeal for long-term oil and gas investment.
An earlier deal to double Israel’s gas exports to Egypt led to approval of Leviathan’s Phase 1B expansion by guaranteeing long-term cash flow to finance the project.
