  • When were hydrocarbons discovered in Mozambique?
  • The first accounts of hydrocarbons in Mozambique date back to 1904, when explorers discovered thick sedimentary basins onshore Mozambique, but the poor technology and lack of funds halted those early exploration attempts. Extensive exploration by international oil companies started in 1948, mainly onshore with limited activity offshore.‌
  • 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.‌
  • 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.‌
  • Who makes giant Mozambique finds?
  • America’s Anadarko and Italian company ENI have also made giant Mozambique finds. The main players in the upstream industry include: Enron Oil and Gas Resources Inc, Energy Africa, Sasol Petroleum International, Leopardus Resources Limited, Zarara Petroleum Resources, TotalFinaElf SA, Trefoil Ltd, and Lonrho de Provuma Petroleum.‌
  • Who controls Mozambique's upstream oil industry?
  • Control of the country's upstream oil industry rests with the parastatal upstream oil company, Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos de Mocambique (ENH) which has exclusive rights to explore for and develop petroleum in Mozambique, and is permitted to exercise these rights in association with foreign investors.
