The heads of Chinese oil firm CNPC and Mozambique's state oil firm ENH have signed a cooperation framework agreement over work in the oil and gas exploration and production market.
CNPC is a partner in the Eni-operated Block 4, offshore Mozambique - the firm's first ultra-deep subsea natural gas and LNG project in East Africa. CNPC says it is also the largest individual project of a Chinese enterprise in the country.
