Eni SpA Announces Large Natural Gas Find off Coast of Mozambique

Thursday, August 9th, 2012

Italian oil company Eni SpA announced a discovery of more natural gas off the coast of Mozambique, expanding the yield of a major field off the southeast African nation.

The discovery at the Mamba North East offshore site includes at 10 least trillion cubic feet of natural gas, increasing the total yield of the Area 4 portion of the site to 70 trillion cubic feet.

The newest discovery is enough natural gas to meet the needs of 5 million U.S. households for 30 years, based on average consumption.

The company said the drill site is 60 kilometers (37 miles) off the Capo Delgado coast. Eni has a 70 percent interest in the field, with Portuguese firm GalpEnergia, South Korea’s KOGAS and ENH each having a 10 percent stake.

Natural gas exploration has increased in recent years in Africa. Recent discoveries in Mozambique have made it a major regional source of liquefied natural gas.
