The Mozambique LNG Development is a project on the Afungi Peninsula, in northern Mozambique. Developed by the Mozambique LNG joint venture, the project involves the development of offshore gas resources in Area 1 and the construction of an onshore facility for the treatment, liquefaction, storage and export of LNG. Its objective is to enhance the value of the major natural gas reserves in the Rovuma Basin, positioning Mozambique as a key LNG exporter while generating economic and employment benefits for the country.

The FPSO Florence will enable the start-up of production from the Baleine field, currently the largest hydrocarbon discovery in Côte d’Ivoire, with an estimated 2.5 billion barrels of oil in place and 3.3 trillion cubic feet of associated gas. The Baleine development is also expected to become Africa’s first net-zero upstream project. Upon its arrival in Ivory Coast, the vessel will be renamed FPSO Baleine. The unit has been refurbished and upgraded to process up to 15,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d) and approximately 25 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d) of associated gas. All produced gas will be transported onshore through a newly constructed export pipeline.
