Note for Editors:

In the recent decade, the gas output in Mozambique increased by 1.5 times and the consumption by 13 times. The country has become a major exporter of this hydrocarbon. According to IEA, the demand for it will grow faster than for any other fossil fuel and will increase by 30% by 2030.

In late 2015, RN-Exploration (a subsidiary of Rosneft Oil Company) and a subsidiary of ExxonMobil were declared winners for three blocks in the fifth license round organized by INP. Rosneft and ExxonMobil were awarded three license areas: A5-B in the Angoche Basin, and Z5-C and Z5-D in the Zambezi Delta. In October 2018, the consortium where Rosneft holds 20% signed concession agreements for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons on the three areas with the Government of Mozambique, and the companies started exploration works.
