Sasol has announced a joint pre-feasibility study for a large-scale gas-to-liquids (GTL) plant, which will be based on gas from the Rovuma Basin in northern Mozambique.
The study, which is being conducted in conjunction with Mozambique’s national oil company, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH), and Italian multinational, Eni, will assess the viability and benefits of such a plant to the region.
Eni is operator of the block, called Area 4, in the deep waters of the Rovuma Basin, which is estimated to hold up to 85Tcf of gas.
“The proposed GTL facility firmly aligns with Mozambique’s Gas Master Plan goals, and, if successful, will go some way to accelerate socio-economic development in the country and the broader region. Our GTL aspirations highlight our commitment to partnering with the Mozambican government and Eni in the responsible development of the country’s natural resources,” said David Constable, Chief Executive Officer, Sasol.
