Mozambique has finalized agreements with Chinese oil company the China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) for the exploration and production of five offshore blocks. These blocks, located in both shallow and deep waters, were awarded as part of the country’s sixth licensing round initiated by the Mineral Resources and Energy ministry.
In an exclusive interview with The Energy Republic, Victor Tivane, the local content director of Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) – Mozambique’s state-owned hydrocarbon company, disclosed that the country has entered a new era for oil and gas development, creating opportunities for investors and companies with tenders for project development, research and development (R&D).
