  • Is Mozambique a good place to invest in oil & gas?
  • Mozambique was not a country famous for its oil and gas industry, except for one gas producing project that exports to South Africa. However, recent discoveries have been made offshore and more international companies are drawn by the possibilities of investment in this industry.‌
  • Are there any oil refineries in Africa?
  • There are no active refineries, but there are two projects being considered, the Oilmoz Refinery Project and the Ayr Petro Nacala Refinery Project. Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are planning a joint fuel refinery in Mozambique with a capacity of 10,000 bpd. The project is to be funded by the Iranian government.‌
  • Can natural gas be used in Mozambique?
  • The further discovery of large reserves (estimated at more than 60 bcm) of commercially exploitable natural gas in the Pande gas field in Inhambane province and the possibility of utilising natural gas in regional industrial growth has brought renewed interest in Mozambique's upstream prospects by foreign oil companies.‌
  • What are the non-energy uses of oil in Mozambique?
  • Many of the petroleum products made from oil have non-energy uses, notably asphalt, engine lubricants and raw materials for making plastics. In Mozambique, around 40% of people have access to electricity, through the grid or mini/off-grid systems.‌
  • Which megaprojects stimulate foreign investment in Mozambique?
  • Megaprojects such as the Mozal aluminium smelter, the Temane gas projects in Inhambane and the Moma titanium ore and heavy sands project in Nampula have been major catalysts for significant inflows of private foreign direct investment into Mozambique (Castel-Branco and Ossemane, 2010).‌
  • Who owns the oil industry in Mozambique?
  • Petromoc is the state owned oil company and controls the major market share. Other companies involved in the industry include BP, ExxonMobil and Caltex. There are three ports in Mozambique – Maputo, Beira and Nacala. There is an existing pipeline between Beira and Harare.
